Our business was started in 2017 to serve Jaco's aging community of condominiums. For the first 3 years, we primarily, we focused on Kitchen & Bath Remodeling, & became known in the area as a premium service provider in that space. As our business grew, we found a growing need for a full service design studio to better address the needs of our clientele. An idea that lived in my head for years finally came to fruition in December of 2023, when Jaco Kitchen & Bath officially became JKB Interiors and the rebranding complete with a new website & small showroom.

JKB Interiors is powered by Wendy Greenwald (me) & Melissa Solano. We are two working mothers who have a passion for bespoke design & creating spaces that become the backdrop to spending quality time with family & friends. We are both avid home cooks, dedicated parents & have each spent more than 20 years in the local design & decorating fields in Costa Rica & beyond.

Our core values:

Timeless, legacy design -

We are happy to trade trends for tried & true building methods & materials. Building in the tropics comes with its own nuances, tropical rainfall, humidity, earthquakes, you get the picture. Not every great pinterest or AI generated image is going to be practical and timeless for the legacy of your home. That's where we find our 25 years of homebuilding in the area offers a unique perspective of what works, and more importantly, what does not.

Creating spaces uniquely suited for you -

We take the time to understand our clients, their family dynamics & lifestyle preferences to build spaces around their needs. Through our understanding of them, we create a design strategy & educate them on how to maximize our talents & the possibilities of their new interiors.

Time is our most precious nonrenewable resource -

Your project's prompt completion is our top priority. The spaces that we create are specifically crafted to encourage spending time & sharing moments with your loved ones, in the ways that are most applicable to you and your loved ones. Being that our company is powered by two working mothers, we fully appreciate the precious resource of family & friend time, while also creating work areas in the home that efficiently serve its inhabitants.

Craftsmanship & reliability are nonnegotiable -

We are the only area company in this field (that we know of!) that offers a full one year warranty on remodeling installations. When we cannot guarantee reasonably priced quality products from local providers, we import what is needed to offer our clients the most comfortable & attractive fixtures & furnishings for an exceptional design experience.

Travel enhances our understanding of the human experience & aesthetic prowess -

Due to the international nature of our business, we are frequently boarding planes & earning new stamps in our passports. Once rather private about the crazy nature of my life, I have come to learn to celebrate the fact that we are afforded this special opportunity to travel, learn & share our experiences through our work & letters.

In this age of AI generated everything, I have come to the conclusion that using a more authentic voice to share our JKB family story is the best way to connect with our clients & audience. Thus, you will be hearing more about our travels, the true nature of our business, splitting time between Costa Rica & the Florida Keys, maybe some mom stuff, and who knows what else.

We look forward to sharing our work & stories through a more vulnerable & authentic lens. We never stock images or AI generated "how to" articles. Please feel free to share feedback and hopefully we look forward to working with some of you in the future. 

Kindly,



Wendy
