We had a great experience working with Denise and Tanisha. They were able to bring our vision to life and more. Our home feels surreal. So warm and welcoming. They have an eye for design and partnered us with a great general contractor. We had some hiccups along the road but they navigated them with us and walked us through our options. We are so happy that we chose them to redesign our home. They were recommended to us by a friend who’s home spoke for itself. Now I get to do the same.

They helped us redesign our living room and guest bathroom, transforming both spaces into exactly what we envisioned.
Their eye for design is truly special—they thoughtfully incorporated our inspiration board, our love for bright colors, and elements of our cultures to create spaces that feel vibrant and uniquely ours. Every detail felt intentional and beautifully executed.
The contractors they work with are outstanding—professional, skilled, and a pleasure to have in our home throughout the process.

Johnson + Fernandez did a beautiful job redecorating our primary bedroom (see before and after photos below). Tanisha listened to our needs, got to know our style, and designed a beautiful bedroom that reflected our style and made good use of the space. She even coordinated all the installation and everything else that needed to be done! We are very happy with the results and will use their services again.
