## About

### Houzz Badges

- Star Houzzer
- 10,000 Ideabook Saves

Located in Central Phoenix, we focus on designing homes to sell. Today, design and real estate go hand in hand and it's important for people to consider design before selling their home. Often times homes will sit on the market or require drastic price reductions before they are finally sold. However, we believe that by doing the necessary edits and alterations prior to selling, it can help excentuate it's assets so people focus on the home's highlights. Staging is another huge factor, which we offer complimentary as part of the listing process. 

The design edits and alterations vary from house to house. Sometimes it involves changing out light fixtures, or plumbing fixtures. Other times it's upgrading counter tops and appliances or even changing paint colors. Real Estate is all about making your house stand out and that's exactly what we do to help you achieve less time on market and get top dollar for your home!

**★★★★★ — Haus Foto, July 2017**

> Working with James was fantastic. He has a mind for creative interior design and a thorough knowledge of design history and application as well as experience that rivals professionals twice his tenure. And he's just getting started. Hire him now before he becomes a household name!

**★★★★★ — T McK, March 2016**

> Have you ever looked at a room that you you are considering to remodel and thought to yourself, "where the heck do I even begin"??  How about an entire house???  One word comes to mind: DAUNTING! The myriad of design styles, looks and options can be simply overwhelming.  When I peruse an architecture and design magazines, I want my home to be ALL of those looks!  How can you pick just one? Where do you begin?
> One answer!  www.flippingdiaries.com
> I’ve personally witnessed projects by James Judge that have been nothing less than miraculous!  Transformations of houses most would consider lost causes that have been turned into real  “HOMES” for real people.  Not just livable domiciles mind you.  He creates well contemplated, space maximizing, highly stylish, jaw dropping when you walk in the door kind of homes that everyone wants at affordable prices!!  He gets it and you will too if you follow the vision and trust the guidance that James provides.
> Remember, with the right guide even the most unlikely person has reached the top of Mt. Everest!

**★★★★★ — Billy Woomer, March 2016**

> I've done multiple projects with James - and he is a wonder to watch. He has amazing vision. He is knowledgeable and creative on many levels. He meets deadlines and budgets....and the quality of his work is incomparable. For me, the best part of working with James is witnessing his approach. He walks through a house and immediately starts designing it in his head - tearing out walls, expanding and adding rooms, creating a new and remarkable place inside and out that only he can see. The end result of his "Flip" is breathtaking.  I look forward to working with James for years to come.

**★★★★★ — Andy Albrecht, March 2016**

> James has a great vision! He has the exceptional gift to be able to walk into a terrible space that most people would run away from and create a work of art! He is receptive to client feedback while sticking to his impressive design aesthetic. The most impressive skill that James' possesses is his ability to to create a design that looks like a million bucks on a budget. Between his contacts, amazing resources, and savvy shopping he exceeded my expectations on this property.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Cool geometric bed!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you share where to find it?

A: Thanks - This was actually sourced from Amazon. West Elm previously made one similar too!

**Q: Where did you source the sconce?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The light is from a lighting designer in Phoenix named Sarah Wolfe. She has an etsy shop called 'Lucent Lighting' and does incredible work!

**Q: WHo makes the orb chandelier?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It's made by Revel - Here is a link to the item http://amzn.to/2pm3myB

**Q: I need to hide the air ducts on the roof.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I am already going to add a porch move the drive way paint and update however I can not think of a way to cover up the air handler and vents? any suggestions... a new roof is not an option for a long time.

A: Here is an option - 2x2's mounted two inches apart to cover the ductwork and HVAC. To see more from this project, check out the Santa Cruz Page: http://www.houzz.com/projects/1733470/santa-cruz

**Q: Yellow tile** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please tell me where this fantastic tile is from and the colour? Is it Heath or Fireclay? Thank you!

A: Hi Brooke! You're my first question! Yay! That is indeed Heath Tile. It's a combination of the "Bow-Tie" & "Diamond" pattern tiles. The color was actually a custom order... However, we purchased them as 'seconds' directly from Heath because there was too much color variation... Which worked perfectly for us because that's what we loved about them! AND it was a great deal - Here is a link: Heath Outlet
