She took the time to “hear” my wants and used her skills to make my home look and feel exactly like I wanted. Great communication skills and punctual. A delight to work with. **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate the opportunity we got to work together. **★★★★★ — mangis\_peggy, March 2024** > Julie was so helpful to me on my new construction build job and all the decisions I faced . She has a good eye for color, in choosing carpet, paint, and hardwood floor stain. She was indispensable in providing details and drawings to the cabinet maker, both for the powder room, primary bath, and the kitchen. She created my kitchen hood design and provided details to the cabinet person. Julie even hung my art collection throughout the house! She is so pleasant to work with and kept me moving along with all the decisions. Thank you Julie! **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you Peggy! I loved working with you and decorating with all of your beautiful artwork and decor. Enjoy your amazing home! **★★★★★ — Jennifer, Oct. 2022** > I highly recommend Julie for design services. We started by hiring her to give us ideas for outside lighting and quickly realized that we needed her for our whole project. She really gets to know her clients and works with their style ideas all the while steering them away from fashion faux pas. I have passed her information on to friends and will continue to recommend. **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you Jennifer! I am so glad I have been able to help with your home in many ways. I appreciate all the referrals as well. **★★★★★ — Jodie, Oct. 2022** > Julie is amazing to work with. Her attention to detail and the dream are impeccable. I highly recommend Design Inspirations by Julie. **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you Jodie! I enjoy working with you as well! **★★★★★ — Terry Manning, Oct. 2022** > Julie is awesome to work with! She is a great listener - I had a few ideas about how I wanted my shower/bathroom remodel to look - and she added those extras (wood framing around the mirror; built-in shelf to clear off the countertop & helping with color coordination of tile, grout & paint) that made my space comfortable and desirable! I love my new shower & bathroom. > This is my second project that I have worked with Julie and I will work with her again! She has a great eye and really has helped my home feel like it's a part of me! **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > I look forward to the next project, Terry! Thank you! **★★★★★ — Kirstin Jorgenson, Oct. 2022** > Julie was a huge help to us thru various remodel projects in our 1904 home. We wanted to keep the classic look of the old home, with modern updates. Would highly recommend! **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you Kirstin. I can't wait to help you with your new home! I love working with you! **★★★★★ — Daniel Hendricks, Oct. 2022** > Very thorough and had great ideas. My home is exactly how I want it- could not be happier. Highly recommend **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you Daniel! I am glad you are so happy with all I did! **★★★★★ — Sue Amos, Dec. 2021** > I have had the pleasure of working with Julie many times selecting furniture together for her clients. She arrives organized, with a plan and a vision of how she wants to end result to look. The finished rooms are always spectacular. Highly recommend Julie. **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you Sue! I highly recommend you as well as Paul Schatz Furniture **★★★★★ — Linda Stevenson, Dec. 2018** > Julie helped me with furniture selection for my living and family rooms. I felt like she listened to me and understood what I wanted. We were able to work together efficiently, combing style, function and low maintenance. I like the end results and am working with her on another project. I highly recommend Julie to others. **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > Thank you Linda! I have enjoyed working with you as well. Looking forward to our next project! **★★★★★ — Betty L, Jan. 2018** > I definitely recommend this professional and will continue to use her. I purchased a house that needed a lot of interior changes. Julie is great at listening to what I wanted as a final result. She then translated what I asked for along with what was needed with the result that I have a home now and not just a house. She worked with existing color that could not be changed. New carpet, window treatments, and wall color throughout the house were added. The utility room was large with mostly unusable space. She planned a wonderful creation of cabinets, a sink, and countertop so that now it is a usable space with storage and a place to fold clothes and a sink for hand washables. The cabinets style fits the style of the other rooms. Julie knows where to purchase items and names of people to install them. She also helped me find the right furniture which was the final touch for my home. I cannot thank her enough for my comfortable and beautiful home. **Comment from Design Inspirations by Julie:** > I am so glad you love your home so much Betty! I really enjoyed working with you and look forward to helping you more in the future. Thanks for the review! **★★★★ — Sue Roth, Sept. 2017** > I've used Julie's amazing service 2 or 3 different times now and she is very respectful of my tastes, but also is not afraid to make suggestions that turn out beautifully. Julie gets the job done in a very timely way and has an eye for just the right pieces or color or design. I would highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — willamettevalleyhomebuyer, Aug. 2017** > Julie helped us put the perfect touch on decorations in our home. Her creativity and ability to carry out a project from vision to reality was amazing. We really loved her passion for design and making a house a home. ## Selected projects - [Beautiful Lodge Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beautiful-lodge-custom-home-pj-vj~7159057) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - Description: Created for a large family who enjoys entertaining as well as private family time, this home was beautifully crafted every step of the way.

Creating a light and bright, yet warm and welcoming place for any occasion was accomplished with a collaboration of ideas. One of the main goals of this remodel was keeping the existing layout without moving walls, plumbing or windows. We removed the tired tile floors, old cabinetry, existing lighting and appliances and updated with antique brick backsplash tiles, free floating shelves, new alder cabinetry, qua… - [Deer Lake Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deer-lake-master-bath-pj-vj~427947) - Location: Salem, OR - Photos: 6 - Description: This beautiful bathroom remodel has white cabinets, carrera marble counter, wainscot, claw foot tub, glass chandelier, glass shower surround, large vanity mirror, mirror sconces and powder blue wall color. - [1939 Historical Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1939-historical-home-pj-vj~6032129) - Location: Salem, OR - Photos: 14 - Description: With the desire to turn this historical home into a short-term rental, we had the pleasure to work alongside subcontractors to fully remodel the kitchen, add a master bathroom to an existing room, and make the upstairs into a dual living situation for multiple renters. After the remodel was finished, we decorated the house to fit the original style, which proved to be a very enjoyable challenge. - [Country home remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-home-remodel-pj-vj~787240) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: Built in the 1960's, this country home needed some design inspiration to update it and bring it back to life. Changing interior walls and re-creating an office, powder bath, utility room while adding a master suite and pantry made a significant difference. We added a substantial amount of custom cabinetry, changed interior trim and doors, resurfaced the entire fireplace inside and out, added new floor coverings and much more. Overall, we were able to give the interior of the home a beautiful fac… - [Stainless and Stone Kitchen remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stainless-and-stone-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~4596505) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: The Bachelor living in this home was ready for a new look. Inspired by natural elements, the client loved the idea of uniting wood, stone, steel and iron. Changing the layout from a peninsula counter to an island made a drastic difference in the flow of the kitchen. This caused the kitchen to feel twice as big, without moving any walls. For design, we brought in touches of stainless steel to band the island which complemented the stainless counters and sink. Black iron I-beams and corbels tie in… - [Silverton farm home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silverton-farm-home-pj-vj~795996) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: Ready to tear the home down, the clients struggled to find much worth saving in this older farm home. We took out an old fireplace and created a new one, keeping with the original layout. The mantle was a work of art in on its own, with stained concrete, waxed to create its antique look. The kitchen was a complete tear out and redesign, making it function much better and definitely have a more beautiful appearance. Walls were adjusted, ceilings raised, support added in the basement. Each and eve… - [Bright and Elegant Master bath remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-and-elegant-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~5698530) - Location: Silverton, OR - Photos: 7 - Description: Like many homeowners, the tub in the master bathroom was hardly ever used. The former master bath felt confined and didn't make the best use of the space. Eliminating the tub and surround, enlarging the shower and making a double sink counter space was all this couple needed to be completely happy with the bathroom they use every morning. We enlarged the shower big enough to be doorless, curbless and we tucked the niché into the half wall so the bottles could all be hidden. Some of our main goal… [See all 9 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/design-inspirations-by-julie-pfvwus-pf~1669362526) ## Ideabooks - [Strehlow kitchen options](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/165752370/list/strehlow-kitchen-options) — 27 ideas - [Pickthorn](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/173709161/list/pickthorn) — 3 ideas - [Pozos Job](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/170951344/list/pozos-job) — 6 ideas - [Martin](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/169432130/list/martin) — 1 idea - [Mangis](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/162307841/list/mangis) — 14 ideas - [Strehlow Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/165698368/list/strehlow-kitchen) — 23 ideas - [Backyard ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53984160/list/backyard-ideas) — 4 ideas - [South Valley Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/150162744/list/south-valley-custom-home) — 12 ideas - [Steers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/161848219/list/steers) — 1 idea - [Griffin island](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/160951173/list/griffin-island) — 18 ideas - [kitchen island](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46306148/list/kitchen-island) — 7 ideas - [Weise exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/157518828/list/weise-exterior) — 3 ideas - [Julies living room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/153595567/list/julies-living-room) — 24 ideas - [Carman/Little](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/154160047/list/carman-little) — 3 ideas - [McAndie](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/153768825/list/mcandie) — 3 ideas - [Dettwyler](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/152683337/list/dettwyler) — 2 ideas - [My backyard](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/147720983/list/my-backyard) — 39 ideas - [Hendricks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/151213820/list/hendricks) — 1 idea - [Dahls](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/144039574/list/dahls) — 23 ideas - [Hendricks basement bar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/149829529/list/hendricks-basement-bar) — 12 ideas [See all 72 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/designsbyjulie1) ## Community Q&A **Q: floor** *(in Photo Questions)* what is the color in floor A: The color of the little squares in this tile floor is a soft gray. **Q: Where do I purchase this lighting** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I found these at 'Shades of Light' online.
