10.13.09, 7:16PM Gigi: This is probably the coolest wall ever!!!!!!!!!!
10.6.09, 7:39PM Amber Fox: Simply inspirational! I have two addictions: looking at decorating sites and photo sites and now my two worlds collide. Love it! So when I buy a house, can you come over and help me decorate?!
9.20.09, 4:12PM drey: i love the room now!!!! absolutely love it. i wish i had a jaden in my life!!!
i was wondering... would you mind telling me what green you painted the wall with? I'm wanting a green wall for my dining/kitchen room.... and love that shade. thanks!!!

9.16.09, 1:10PM julio trindade: hello, jessica

Kristine: Jessica! I was just doing some browsing online for some items for our new home and I ran across these and thought of this post: http://www.zgallerie.com/p-8129-athens-pillow-21.aspx
Just thought I'd share!
9.13.09, 7:10PM Lindy: Unbelievable! Amazing!
9.12.09, 9:46PM Kerry: Very cool -- and congrats on the mention on designsponge! 9.12.09, 9:44AM

Hundewanderer: I saved your site under my photography bookmark... I haven't stopped by for a little while but today I did and I have to say, your wedding invitations are amazing. And, the black and white wall - equally amazing. Never in a million years would I think to be so creative. hugs from Hundewanderer.
9.11.09, 12:56AM kris rupp: wow, wow, wow just perfect!!
9.10.09, 9:08PM A.: This wall is amazing! I want to see the green wall all finished too! Please post a photo of that side of the space completed! :) 9.10.09, 2:17PM
Denise Madera: inspiring! 9.10.09, 1:19PM
JJ: I actually think the green chairs look wonderful, you just need some more colours in there to make your greens work together! 9.10.09, 10:15AM
4 eyed lisa: Girlfriend, I love that wall but the room is a little stark. You need a big green rug and green velvet drapes to soften and warm up the space. The scale of the furniture is too small for the space. Bigger over sized couches and chairs would balance the power of that beautiful wall. 9.10.09, 10:03AM
Sally: Gorgeous!! It's sooo Santa Monica Viceroy - my favorite:) LOVE it!!!
9.10.09, 9:37AM Tim May: that is such a cool room. I love that wall.
9.10.09, 5:13AM jason roger: holy eff-word, that could possibly be the coolest wall i have ever laid eyes on. Rock on jessica claire
9.8.09, 7:28PM tony Bisson: "you are getting very sleepy, but your checkbook is wide awake."
9.8.09, 7:27PM Morgan: It's so beautiful and creative! I love it! 9.8.09, 6:25PM
Amelia Thornton: Okay, WOW - that wall makes me wish I lived in California just so I could hire Jaren to build something for me...SOOOO AWESOME!
9.7.09, 8:22PM Mary-Beth Blankenship: Jessica this looks FANTASTIC! So excited for you and your new space!:) Congrats, and have loads of fun in there!
9.7.09, 10:26AM Pat Bloomfield: Wow amazing transformation. It looks very contemporary and totally awesome :-)
9.5.09, 11:49AM Helen (Dogeared): I know you don't know me from Adam (I have read your Blog for a while, but usually don't comment), there's one thing I think would look AWESOME in the new place.
As the green wall is almost the green of your Blogsite, why not stencil the same black line pattern from your Blogsite borders, as a border around that green wall? If you're shooting there or even discussing with clients (who'll have seen your site), then it's the perfect tie in!
9.5.09, 7:26AM April: I think if I had to look at that wall for any length of time, I'd feel like I'd been smoking crack. Love the wedding invitations, though!
9.4.09, 10:09PM cameron clark: Transformation? That is an understatement! It's really nice to see the continuity from your site to your space. Very nice.
9.4.09, 5:37PM jordan: I am madly in love with your AWESOME WALL!! It's gorgeous, so jealous!
9.4.09, 5:15PM Nancy Remling: That is one amazing space. LOVE love love the wall!! :):) Congratulations!!! :):)
9.4.09, 5:00PM Bobbie Brown: Wowzer! That is a huge HUGE difference! LOVE it!
9.4.09, 3:32PM heather: You've got great style! I just love how you used your colors in the room with the molding and wow...that wall is insanely awesome! Might have to see how far your carpenter friend will travel...maybe he can build me a new house!
9.4.09, 3:22PM Zaidan: That is so you Jessica!awesome place you have!
9.4.09, 10:58AM Jonathan Brown: Wow that is an awesome wall. Love your new space. Great work!
9.4.09, 10:19AM Heather Elizabeth: HOLY CRAP. What a transformation! I am so inspired for some redecorating in my own house now LOL. Amazing work! =)
9.4.09, 9:32AM julie: love it. boy, do you have style. and i noticed it's the color of your blog. do you like green by chance???????
9.4.09, 8:07AM marie long: Wow! I've been following your blog for about 2 weeks now, and I love your work. But right now I am in love with those walls you have! 9.3.09, 10:34PM
Diana: ummm, I'm studying to be an interior designer and just wanted to let you know that if for some CRAZY reason you get bored with photography, you will most def. have a successful career as a designer. Just saying....
9.3.09, 10:20PM
Sharon C.: Wow, very cool wall.
You know, you are pretty funny! I don't frequent blogs often but remembered you had a blog-site, something that I'm currently considering since I'm re-doing my whole website because it's been too many years now, and twice I've seen your site and both times I found you very funny. Crack! LOL
9.3.09, 7:24PM Kathrina: green-eyed jealous monster right here! kudos to jaren (and jeff) for the work and to you for the awesome ideas!
9.3.09, 3:38PM amy j: I am so very jealous of your green wall!! It's all really gorgeous.

9.3.09, 12:23PM Christa: Wow....this space kicks butt!
9.3.09, 11:38AM Kayla: I LOVE it! Totally fabulous!
9.3.09, 9:40AM Stephanie (Mel Stephens Photography): Jessica your studio space is amazing. I have the same velvet chair in pink (which I picked up at Home Goods) and now my friend wants one, where'd you get yours?
9.3.09, 8:38AM Eliza Lewis: I love the awesome wall!! What detail!!
9.3.09, 8:08AM renee vanni: Holy cow! Don't get rid of your fav green chairs, recover them. It costs nothing but the fabric. How about hot pink to go with your black, or deep orange or even a perfect blue?
9.3.09, 1:12AM cindyrantal: I am just a wedding photographer blog lover. I got your blog off of Becker who I got from Christine Choi who is my friend. I love in Dallas , Texas. I never have commented before but the black frames had to have a mention. I noticed you had a few people who felt like that too. That will definately be in a magazine someday. What a work of art. You are blessed to have such a friend. It doesn't surprise me. You are one talented lady yourself.
9.2.09, 8:51PM Jenny Liu: Love the new space, looks awesome !
9.2.09, 8:24PM Ray: Wow, that's a kick ass workspace. You have great decorating skills. Love the "AWESOME WALL" (lol). It reminds me of a bunch of mazes. ;o)

9.2.09, 6:16PM jen berry: OMG i'm soooooo jealous. i want a home office so bad!!!! that wood work is A*M*A*Z*I*N*G*
9.2.09, 6:08PM allison waken: So in love with this! What a great job the contractor did - you can tell he takes great pride in his work!
9.2.09, 4:56PM Courtney Jade: That is an AMAZING transformation!!!! I absolutely LOVE what you've done with the place (Floors and black molding esp) So creative! I'd be proud to have clients in that room! The awesome wall is insane! He did an amazing job! And the green wall adds a beautiful pop to the entire space :) You are just fabulous!!! I'm jealous that you get to hang out and work there, hopefully someday i'll have a place of my own equally as awesome :)

MelissaF: What a cool space! And that wall...totally rocks!!
9.2.09, 11:42AM jessica @ budgetsavvybride: What a transformation!!! WOW! I love the 'awesome wall' and the green wall! It's so YOU!
9.2.09, 10:36AM traci: my jaw dropped when isaw this. i have got to show this to my husband. he is a finish carpenter and since i have worked w/him i can NOT imagine doing this. i got so mad at my husband b/c i did 21 wainscotting (or whatever) boxes down a hallway. he was so picky b/c the spacing wasn't right blah blah blah and i had to do it again. this is truly a work of art.
9.2.09, 10:35AM Regina : WOW! What a transformation forsure. I love it. Jaren did an aweseom job. And if this is what you create on crack girl you need to pass it along. Who's your dealer? Love it Jessica.

9.2.09, 8:30AM chipgillespie: I have this really bad habit of skipping the "reading" portion of blogs and going straight for the images. When I opened this post this morning, the first thing my eyes landed on was the top image, and the first two thoughts that popped into my head were "Eww -- who shot this?!?", and " Wow, I totally thought Jess had more style than that".
I confess -- I'm kind of an ass like that. :)
I went back up and read the paragraph and was subsequently blown away by the transformation you guys accomplished! Holy Moses, girl!! It looks amazing in there!!
Great job, and I hereby vow to never again judge before I read. :)
9.2.09, 8:10AM Magnus: You should be on crack more often :)
9.2.09, 7:35AM Leah : Jennifer- wow this is spectacular! I really feel the same way at this point...but it will be a LONG time til my dreams come true. This is just so amazing. I am so happy for you to have your own space, the way you want it.
9.2.09, 7:13AM Cathy Crawley: Now that is what I call AWESOME! It suits you so well :)
9.2.09, 6:55AM terri zollinger: way cool ... can't wait to see what comes next ...
9.2.09, 2:51AM eric cotter: it looks AWESOME, but you need a wall with plates on it!! ;)
9.2.09, 2:20AM Michelle: Just fab!!! I love the green...so yummy!! Can't wait to see more, congrats!
9.2.09, 12:46AM MegRuth: That wall is AMAZING! I cannot believe he did that with moulding by hand. Unbelievably brilliant.
I don't think I would have had the guts to do something like that, and what a masterpiece I would have missed out on. Kudos to you and being on crack...er uh.
9.2.09, 12:12AM erika: Love it! I thought that was all taped off at first. The wood building might be even more insane! My eyes blurred! haha. My living room is that color green, white couches, and black furniture. that green is so fun. 9.1.09, 11:25PM
Alissa Ferullo: WOW!! That wall is crazy beautiful!! =) It's insane to think I may actually be able to see it in person in only a matter of weeks!! I can't wait to meet you and your wall! ;)
9.1.09, 10:44PM KrisD Mauga: OMG- Congrats- it's fabulous!!!! I'm so jealous... things in the future to look forward to!
9.1.09, 9:53PM Alaina: This is so inspirational, I looked and said "hmm, how can I rework my house and gallery....?" Id love to go to work everyday in a space like that.
9.1.09, 9:45PM Jaime Puffer : Jessica, your new office looks amazing!! Great job at your redecorating. What an incredible transformation! 9.1.09, 9:27PM
Ray Ferguson: Yet MORE proof that you are a total rockstar! :) AND, the design on the awesome wall TOTALLY looks like a blocky version of your logo. <3 it! 9.1.09, 9:14PM

9.1.09, 6:19PM Alain: Very nice and inspiring! If you have to put book shelves, make sure to group them by color. It is the only way I have found to make eclectic books stand well together!
9.1.09, 6:10PM Kelli: That wall is gorgeous!
9.1.09, 6:06PM Maggie: Holy crack! I want what you're smoking!
9.1.09, 5:57PM Kat Forsyth: OMG. That looks amazing! What a great touch to have the trim in black - I don't know why, but I would never have thought of that. Love the green wall, of course. And the awesome wall is so, um, self-explanatory. :-)
I want a studio now.
9.1.09, 5:56PM amyc: Holy cow!!!! That is amazing!!! I didn't expect anything that dramatic and when I got to the first "after" pic I was blown away!!! 9.1.09, 5:51PM

9.1.09, 5:43PM Melissa Copeland: girl!!! this is amazing!!!! i love it..and you MUST tell me the name of that green. i've been looking for the 'perfect" color green..i've painted my walls green before but always painted over them because I just couldn't find the right shade.
