Testimonials About Barbara

Barbara Kaplan gave me the confidence I needed when it came to designing my home.  I took the profile, “poof” out came the answers I needed.  Barbara is not like other designers that offer their thoughts of how YOUR home should be.  Instead, she talked to me and asked me what I wanted/needed in the space I was decorating.  Her philosophy and approach are exactly what the doctor ordered.  I absolutely LOVE my home and I know that I decorated it myself with just a little nudging along the way. THANK YOU, Barbara, for making my home express who I am.

Elan W., Petaluma, CA

As I read “The Bajaro Method”, I thought that the author’s understanding of the emotional impact of our environments was helpful.  At first I did not understand what Barbara Kaplan meant when she said that “Rooms don’t have feelings, you do.” Then, as I continued through the chapters, I had an “A-ha” moment. I came to a deeper understanding of how the design choices I make affect the emotions of the occupants. As a young designer, it is up to me to ask the right questions and make a healing, comforting and personal environment. I also have been inspired to look around my own home and think about what changes I want to make for myself and my family. I am pleased with the insight that I gained from reading this book.

Amy S., ASID Allied

My skill set doesn’t include any of those required to envision a beautiful and gracious home.  I want to open the door, walk in and have it be me and done.  How to get there, well, there was the rub!  I didn’t even know my colors, never even thought about them.   This is not to say that I was lazy and disinterested in everything.  I have my reason to be and I feel very comfortable in my role on the planet.  I just didn’t know at that time that I had any crossover skills.  Barbara was able to get me to focus, gently and lovingly, and to become interested in selecting fabrics and tasks of that sort.  Ultimately, all of the choices were mine and my husband’s.  I understand why I made each and everyone and I love it all.  Barbara’s gentle guidance opened me up to this new world that I tip toed in until I became comfortable.  Barbara was the “wind beneath my wings.”

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

When we decided we wanted to remodel our home, all was well and good.  The problem was I had no idea where to start, what was next, how to do any of it.  Fortunately, my dear friend, Barbara was an expert in virtually everything I needed to know from the smallest detail to the grandest plan.  If I dreamt it, she could manifest it.  Things that might have flitted through my mind on a semi-creative day, which in my life was exceedingly rare, in hers, constant, were taken very seriously.  This odious project which I had feared became a joy when Barbara and I did it together.

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your talent, patience, sense of humor, professionalism, and ability to turn out fabulous projects. Your clients are lucky to have you!

Elaine W.

I took your class a few years ago and I have to say I am really enjoying your posts. It doesn’t take much to change the mood of a room or home. As I just posted, I painted over all the heavy Tuscan red of 4 years ago to the colors of the ocean. This Pisces girl feels MUCH more at home. Keep up the great posts!

Germaine C., Sun Lakes, AZ

I took The Bajaro Method Interior Design Preference Profile online and for the first time, it made me think about my home and my preferences. This process made me understand that my space is my sanctuary. The questions helped me learn more about my likes, dislikes, and what makes me feel comfortable. It made me consider choices outside my normal “box” of ideas. Based on the results, I plan to add more color and some items that are soothing that reflect my personality.

Michell B., Scottsdale, AZ

I will ALWAYS need you until the last little accessory finds its place in the house!   Because I don’t know how to place the tiles in the bathroom, or where to put the sofa or which chairs for the dining room! And after that, I’ll need you always as my friend!

Stephanie B.

Barbara helped us create a home environment that is truly a reflection of our lifestyle. She took us through a process in which we were able to refine our ideas and implement them with confidence.

Ricki & Ralph P., Phoenix, AZ

I so LOVE what you did with the house. Three people who have been coming to my house for a while now, this was their first time noticing the small table in the “open pantry” as I call it. We are enjoying more eating at the dining room. Last night we put all the rugs in and you should see the difference that it made. So warm, I wish you could see it. Thank you so much for coming over and making the changes, it really opened up our house as well as inviting us back in to love our house. Again, thank you for your time and your advice.

Giangi T.
