We've had the pleasure of working with gamble + design for nearly seven years now, and we really can’t imagine working with anyone else. Our journey began when we first purchased our home, a charming structure from the 1920s in the Forest Hill neighborhood of San Francisco that had not seen updates in decades. Under the creative and thoughtful direction of Jeni and her team, our house underwent a truly dramatic transformation.

“Jeni and team helped transform our Richmond Edwardian into a more usable and beautiful home. We worked with them over the course of several years and were continuously impressed by their creativity, sensibility, and innovative use of space and light. Jeni is smart, hip, and down-to-earth, and Paris is an absolute gem. We are so lucky to have had the benefit of their talents and services!”

“Jeni is a consummate professional who takes the time to understand her clients' tastes but knowing where to push the boundaries a little great effect. She started working with us on a full-home remodel where we had a tight deadline to redesign our master bathroom, and pick tiles, paint, fixtures for the rest of the house. She presented three divergent ideas, and then worked with us to narrow things down quickly to hit our contractors deadlines. She is great at keeping an eye on the broader vision for the house, but also meticulous on the details. We've ended up continuing to work with her on other projects in our home as well as furniture, art, and other furnishings. I can't say enough about how great she has been for our home - we are constantly getting compliments from guests about work that she has helped us with.”

“We found Jeni after visiting one of her project's and falling in love with her style. When we embarked on our own renovation we knew we'd need the help of a professional despite handling large parts of the project ourself. Jeni worked with us, two super involved owners who essentially ran the job site, ordered materials and even fabricated some elements. This isn't trivial and we feel lucky we found someone who was willing to adjust to our style of house building. Her designs were always thoughtful and meticulous and having her there to support us during the project was super helpful.”

“I love my new kitchen! gamble + design took on the challenge of creating a kitchen with all the amenities and fitting it on a ten and a half foot wall. I have a small apartment and they created space and solutions I didn't know were possible. The kitchen is perfect, it doesn't feel cramped or forced in anyway. In addition to that Jeni's aesthetic is AMAZING I liked everything she picked out, she took into consideration my needs and concerns and presented me with exactly what I wanted. I would recommend gamble + design for any project.”

“I reached out to gamble + design because I loved the contemporary, minimalist projects of theirs on Houzz. Jeni instantly agreed to my wish for a contemporary black-and-white decor. After she listened to my needs and wants, what started out as a simple kitchen remodel grew to encompass an inviting open space. The result was a complete refresh of the kitchen, family room, and living room. During the process, I counted on Jeni’s expert color sense and awareness of trends. And with my busy work schedule and lack of expertise in remodeling, I was really glad I could count on the design + gamble team to do the drawings, engage engineering as needed, supply choices for furniture based on my taste, find contractors, and get the building permit. No one comes to my home without commenting on how stunning it is. The list ranges from family and friends amazed at the change from its “before” (traditional) look, to newer guests, electricians, and window washers. Just last week a furniture delivery man not only appreciated the look of the house but wanted to obtain the same tiles and one furniture piece because he so appreciated their quality and beauty.”

Wow! I am so Impressed with Jeni and Murry and the whole staff at @gambleplusdesign. They did my Kitchen and, well honestly, created my entire home design, in my house in Los Angeles. They were so knowledgeable about anything that I needed to know and although they are based in San Fransisco everything was done in such a timely manner. I have just started my new renovation and am SOOOO excited to work with them again! Thanks so much Jeni, your Amazing!!!!!

 “gamble + design did a wonderful job with our kitchen. The firm helped us make our vision for the space a reality and we cannot express how much we love our new kitchen.”

 “My wife and I were in the midst of a major house renovation when we started to have difficulties in choosing lighting fixtures. We called Gamble + Design and they proved to be a godsend. Murray is a lighting specialist, so we got a lot of input on the technical aspects of LEDs and dimmers and such that we really didn't know anything about. Not only did gamble + design quickly help us select interesting, high quality fixtures for more than 30 lights throughout the house, Jeni also guided us through tile selection and then the interior paint selection.

At every juncture she was respectful of our aesthetic choices and really good at finding interesting suppliers. We'd been kind of banging our heads against the wall with our original design team, so it was really refreshing to work with Jeni. She's been unfailingly upbeat, professional, and excited to find the best solution for our project.”
