**★★★★★ — Ashley Jorgenson Interiors, May 2016**

> I worked for Juliana for two years and can attest to her impeccable taste, consummate professionalism, and dedication to her clients.  She has a keen eye for design and can overcome any design challenge she is entrusted with.  She is amazing on her own but also collaborates well with architects and contractors if that is what the client desires. Her friendly and fun-loving personality makes many of her clients keep her as a cherished friend long after their project is complete.

**★★★★★ — Cristina Jordan, Oct. 2015**

> I have consulted with Juliana for a number of projects, and I am so grateful for her!  Juliana's energy, love, and talent for what she does will help each project blossom into full potential.
> She is attentive to questions and concerns, she pays close attention to the big picture, the fine details, and all that is between.  Nothing is left to chance!  From the onset, Juliana seeks to understand the purpose and vision of each and every space, and she has helped me to articulate and refine my vision for my home.  She is as warm and friendly as she is professional.  Her knowledge and experience are invaluable, and I am entirely appreciative for all of her guidance.

**★★★★★ — krighthand, Oct. 2015**

> Juliana worked closely with us to bring our vision to life. She was adept at suggesting just the right solution when my husband and I couldn't agree and she made sure every aspect of this remodel was comfortable for both of us. We love the result! We highly recommend Juliana for any remodel or home decorating project.

**★★★★★ — B. Mori & Co., Sept. 2015**

## Selected projects

- [Boho Chic/Mill Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boho-chic-mill-valley-pj-vj~1077191)
  - Location: Mill Valley, CA
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: Juliana Carlsen Interiors created a unique, customized look for this young couple who's love of travel informs their style. Most of the furnishings were custom made, including the rug in the master bed room and all the window treatments. Furniture and accessories were custom made in Nepal, Bali, Thailand and the USA.
- [Sausalito Bay Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sausalito-bay-kitchen-pj-vj~1604922)
  - Location: San Rafael, CA
  - Photos: 2
  - Description: This kitchen had not been remodeled in over 30 years, so we went from brown and cramped to white and open with plenty of storage, all while maintaining the relaxed vibe of this Sausalito cottage. Heath Ceramics subway tile was used in the backsplash.

  - Description: The tiny galley kitchen wasn’t right for this couple that love to entertain. We pushed the house out to give them spacious and gracious living in a sun filled home. In addition, we added curved architectural design elements to the exterior, which gave what was a boxy house more style. The gate was the crowning glory!

## Community Q&A

**Q: wall colour** *(in Photo Questions)*

what colour was used on the wall of kids bedroom?

A: You are welcome!  The frame over the bed at times has had an orange and pink silk sari draped over it, and once it was a white sheer fabric, and it has been velvet, depending on the mood and time of year.  The bookcases are Pottery Barn and the bed at one time was a trundle between them, now she is 21 and wants a big bed to flop on. Always in transition...

**Q: Blinds** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can we get those blind?

A: They are from Hunter Dougas

**Q: Could you please tell me the color of the door?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thank you for your inquiry, it is a lovely French Blue isn't it?  The color is custom (inspired by the blue shutters in France)  but you can find some blues from higher end window and door manufacturers. If you are doing an entire home of new windows and doors, as in this case, you can bring in your favorite blue and have it matched, after all you need to LOVE the color!

**Q: What color blue was used for the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is a custom mix color, which is something I like to do in my projects. I took the blue in the shade fabric to my local paint supplier and had them match it for me. The base I used Benjamin Moore is Aura paints which is low VOC.
