We had recently downsized and I had a vague idea about wanting a “garden room” to adjoin the kitchen area. Nordby Design was recommended by R Bloom. Julie and Jon Nordby created a space that is functional, beautiful and a joy to live in. Not only are they creative and professional but collaborative and actually fun to work with. They not only provided the design but recommended a great contractor with quality subs. All the design and selection services were done in our home. We particularly appreciated the clear and timely communication they provided throughout the project. Because our project was being done during Covid we were even able to stay in our home . In retrospect we recognize that our project was small but we never felt that we were not on the top of their priority list. They are truly a seamless team. Julie’s encouragement to incorporate our personal items into the design enabled us to have a finished product that reflects who we are. Jon even defined the TV screen for us. No request was too small for them. **★★★★★ — Danny, July 2022** > Julie could not have been better at taking a blank canvas and making it perfect! She is so easy to work with, flexible, and very personable. she went out of her way many times to send me thoughts and ideas and also assembled much of the furniture that showed up when i was not there and got it all setup. Just perfect customer service I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for design help! **★★★★★ — rvlncook, June 2022** > I have known Julie for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. From choosing paint colors, to remodeling kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms her taste is exquisite! She is patient, listens and keeps within your budget. I have recommended her before and will continue to do so. You can’t go wrong with Julie! **★★★★★ — Kathy Mollere, Nov. 2019** > I've been using Norby Design for pre sale staging with my Sellers for a few years now. Her experience and attention to detail are invaluable to setting the "stage" for listings to show in their best light. Our most recent listing garnered 6 offers and sold for $15,000 over asking, due in large part to the transformation under Julie Norby's expertise. She is my go to consultant for professional staging. **★★★★★ — Heather Adams, April 2018** > Julie Nordby is truly an amazing treasure. She will help you get your house ready to market, she'll start with a new house, or help you make over that one room that's been nagging at you. She takes time to listen to what your wants and style are and adds her expertise from there. > > I've been in the Real Estate and Home Building business for 30 years and from my experience, she is the best of the best. If you're lucky enough to have her help, you're on your way to your dream room or home perfectly suited for you. She's helped us through project after project with style and grace for over 12 years. Thank you Julie! **★★★★★ — Bharat Prakash, May 2017** > It was a true pleasure working with Julie on my home remodeling project. Her expertise was the foundation of the whole project. Initially when Julie made selections with different styles and colors I was a little skeptical as I lack imagination in terms of how everything will look when it comes along, but when things started falling in place the house looked absolutely stunning. In picking up different materials Julie was very careful about the prices. Julie's services included redesigning and new layouts of masterbath, and picking up everybit of material from tiles/back splashes to light fixtures. In summary you can not go wrong with Nordby design studio. It is truly 5 star service. **★★★★★ — whitec190, March 2016** > Julie and John's designs are unbelievable and their work is first class!! I am continuing to work with them on our front and backyard now. I can't wait to see what they have planned for us! **★★★★★ — rachelewin, Dec. 2015** > Hired Nordby Design Studio to help with redecorating living/dining room, office, and bathroom. Julie Nordby has been outstanding to work with! In addition to creating different options for furniture layout and assisting with shopping for furniture/fixtures/paint, etc, she took the time to coach me through the process of the steps involved in replacing the counter/sink in the bathroom. Since I didn't hire a GC, her support was critical in helping me understand the steps involved and the types of contractors I needed to hire (fabricators, tiler, plumber, etc). She has been incredibly patient as I've changed my mind multiple times on furniture choices, has been flexible with her schedule to accommodate several last minute consults on color/fabric, and has been willing to play larger or smaller roles in selection of various items as my budget allowed. We are very happy with our final look and would highly recommend Nordby Design Studio! **★★★★★ — broms2317, Dec. 2015** > Always enjoy working with Julie and John. There designs and choice of materials and colors are wonderful.I hope to work with them again soon **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2015** > Julie provided model home staging work. She used house plans to prepare for staging the model and when the home was completed, she oversaw installation of furniture and accessories. We have used Julie in the past for numerous such projects, as well as regularly seek her input on design matters. Always wonderful to work with and very professional. **★★★★★ — Kathleen Fogerty, Dec. 2015** > Julie has helped to transform our home from it's original 30 year old footprint to a beautiful modern and tranquil home . We have come to trust her recommendations as always right on and love the results. She is a creative and passionate designer who we would highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Zuver Construction, March 2015** > I have know and worked with John and Julie on a number of projects and i would recommend both of them to anybody. They have such a great eye for detail and there designs always have such good flow and curb appeal to them. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to even the most complex projects coming up with excellent designs and finishes to produce very beautiful projects of all different kinds. As well as they are both just amazing people of character on honesty that they bring into every project with them. ## Selected projects - [New addition and remodel in West Linn Vineyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-addition-and-remodel-in-west-linn-vineyard-pj-vj~7528418) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Oregon Coast Luxury Vacation Home and Spa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oregon-coast-luxury-vacation-home-and-spa-pj-vj~7387431) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Kitchen & Pantry Remodel Tualatin, Oregon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-and-pantry-remodel-tualatin-oregon-pj-vj~7528296) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Remodel of existing family room into a Tea Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodel-of-existing-family-room-into-a-tea-room-pj-vj~7528295) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Modern French Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-french-estate-pj-vj~6932382) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: New Schematic Design Modern French luxury estate home is designed on a 10 acre parcel in Stafford area of southwest Portland, Oregon.
