Lighting Designers in Julian

“Patti Allen and Stephanie James are the best in the business. Not only do they both have impeccable taste and style, but they are honest and willing to work extremely hard and long hours to create exactly what you want in your home from floor to ceiling. I've worked with many designers before and I've never had a better experience than I did with Allen & James Interior Design. My home is in San Francisco, California and I was working with a limited budget and short timeline. Patti and Stephanie were able to meet all of my needs without a single hitch. They operate out of the largest retail furniture store in the United States so you know they are getting the best prices and furnishing options. I recommend their services 100% and will use them anytime I need ANYTHING for my home.”

“Maggie is incredible to work with! She puts you instantly at ease with her warmth and truly takes so much stress out of renovating or building. She is incredibly talented at sourcing and bringing your dream to life. She is so creative and very professional. Would absolutely recommend!!!”

“I hired Melissa to consult on some design decisions in our small rowhouse renovation. Wanting to create a seamless transition between old and new spaces Melissa offered ideas, encouragement, and a new perspective. I felt nervous to make so many decisions on my own, and Melissa was just the person I needed to talk through each decision. She offered samples and images to compliment and complete the look I was hoping to achieve. Our time together was like sitting with a good friend over a cup of tea, a pure delight.”

“Sheila is the best! She came up with an absolutely brilliant design for our kitchen. She listened deeply to what we were really saying and came up with something we had not even considered that met all of our needs. Her design made it so our kitchen connected to our garden which actually changed our lives - we not only have a beautiful light-filled kitchen, but we have a deck and a garden that we enjoy daily. We've had our kitchen for three years now and we still talk about how much we love it at least once a week. (That's weird, but true.)”

“I would give Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors 10 stars if that was an option!! Not only can I attest to Barb's amazing creativity, ease to work with, and all around professionalism, a host of many women who come through our offices would agree that she is a highly skilled and gifted designer -- even if they don't know her name. As the Executive Director of a non-profit counseling ministry for women, my vision was to create a space for our clients that was sacred -- beautifully decorated, warm, safe, and inviting. I called on Barb to help me and she was wonderful. We have been in this location for 5 years and still I get asked who did the decorating. I've also worked with Barb personally at my home. Because I'm the director of a non-profit (meaning limited budget), she was willing to work with me in a way that I could afford a professional decorator. I would tell her exactly how much time I could afford and she did everything possible to maximize that time and give me the most and best of her for my money. Not only is she creative and very good at what she does, she is also just plain FUN. A wise, beautiful, genuine woman -- no pretenses whatsoever. You could never go wrong hiring Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors for your design needs!!”

“Michelle Murphy is an ardent professional with an impeccable eye for detail. Her design work is absolutely outstanding. She chose every aspect of our new home from cabinets, lighting, flooring, tile, paint, trim, furniture , etc and we couldn't be happier. We would absolutely recommend her!”

“I hired Maj Interiors for major kitchen help. I had a tone of ideas and a huge wish list but didn’t know how to put it all together. Working with Alona was a fantastic experience; she took care of everything on my wish list and organized the whole project! She was always on top of things and made me feel comfortable throughout the renovation process. I got a fabulous kitchen that was completed on time and on budget that I absolutely love! I would recommend Maj Interiors in a heartbeat!”

“I hired Debra to help me figure out how I should "window dress" my very large living room windows. She was creative in figuring out what to do with them, and was very patient in providing samples of fabric and trim. The end result is absolutely gorgeous; she succeeded in transforming my living area in a very positive way.”

“Erin has a keen eye for design and color that helped me in two instances. She made combining two houses into one painless . She helped repurpose the 'Must keep family items' I had and comingled them beautifully with an already furnished vacation home that was now to be the full-time residence. Prior to selling the former residence Erin assisted me with wall paint selections and staged it for selling. Household very quickly.”

“We have used Purple Bike for several design projects in our home and have loved the results. Though our budget for each has been relatively small, the design team delivered spaces that incorporated our personal style, introduced design elements we would not have thought of, and captured the overall feel we were hoping for. Dana and Clayton are a pleasure to work with and have made furnishing and designing our first home so much fun!”
