Brownhouse Design, Los Altos, CA

Julie Brown helped us re-imagine our Belvedere residence and office in Cow Hollow recently. She is a total treasure and made the process easy. She is my go to and I highly recommend Julie and her team.

Julie and her team at Brownhouse are my go to both for commercial projects and residential. Her imaginative vision, creative talent and commitment to getting it exactly right, on time and on budget are a dream. You will not be disappointed.

Definitely would not recommend Julie Brown. She scammed, overcharged and went dark on our planning process as well as over a handful of others I’ve talked to. Most recently she overcharged her architects hours by 50%. She will tell a good story but she’s not legit. Doesn’t care who she screws over.

I had an extremely frustrating experience with this interior designer. After paying for her services upfront, she failed to complete the project as agreed. What's worse, when confronted about the work, she refused to provide a full refund and showed a complete lack of concern for our business. Her unprofessional behavior and disregard for client satisfaction are unacceptable. I cannot recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy interior designer. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for your design needs.

Julie and Dave did an incredible job on our home expansion/remodel project. Julie's impeccable sense of elegant style is evident in every corner of our new space. Dave's design expertise ensured that our house flows seamlessly and maximizes every inch of available space. Our once-ordinary home has been transformed into a beautiful, open, and brilliantly lit living area that our family will cherish for years. We are overjoyed and profoundly grateful to Julie and her team for making our dream home a reality. Brownhouse exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Julie and Brownhouse Design are absolutely amazing. It is a pleasure working with Julie and her expertise in design and attention to every detail! We are honored to collaborate with Brownhouse in accomplishing beautiful flooring for her clients.

Julie and her team are pretty amazing - a special shout out to Dave B! Brownhouse worked with me on a whole-house remodel in Mountain View. They presented design options, lined up engineering support, managed and advised on contractor bids, steered us on key materials and finishes decisions and saved us a ton of time while making sure we ended up with a beautiful finished home that maximized our living space. I chose Julie because she impressed me with the range of styles and influences she could represent, the open discussion and frank feedback she gave me in our consultation and because she understands how homes in my area are evolving to meet current design trends and lifestyle needs. Brownhouse is flexible in how they engage - they will do as much or as little as you need. For instance, I asked for support picking tiles, but was prepared to go check stores on my own for other things. The team is very organized and efficient. I left every meeting feeling productive and that Brownhouse had made our project better. At every stage she and her team were timely (or better) with their deliverables and Julie really helped when I was in a pinch with our six foot square quartz slab. She worked the phones, found a replacement and was willing to drop everything to fix a construction screw up. Julie and her team worked hard to do a great job that I get to live with every day. Thanks Brownhouse!

Julie and Brownhouse Design have been great colleagues on over a dozen projects that we have mutually worked on. Julie is always a team member, offering great insights and observations in architecture, landscape architecture and space planning in the most professional manner, recognizing the appropriate roles of all other team members. She also has that unique ability to tap into her clients likes and dislikes for styles, as she does not have a style of her own that she forces on a project.

I have had the pleasure of working with Julie Brown and Brownhouse Design for many years. It's always been a fun and rewarding experience to see how much Julie truly helps her clients achieve and exceed their dream design for their homes.

Vintage Bath has had the pleasure of working with Julie and her amazing staff for over 10 years now. Her attention to detail, passion for her clients spaces and design knowledge are unparallelled. We continue to collaborate with her from the beginning to end on projects to ensure that the functionality as well as the aesthetic of the space is cohesive, within budget and fulfills each and every desire the client began with. From decorative plumbing fixtures to tile and all the way to textiles and accessories Julie has utilized our showroom to create more lovely projects than we can count. Julie and her team have always upheld the highest standards of professionalism and timeliness and are simply a joy to work with. Her clients become loyal Vintage Bath shoppers and when popping in to pick up soaps and misc home goods even years later are still raving about their homes and experience with Brownhouse Design. We are continually honored to work with Julie and cherish the contribution she brings to the design community.
