We hired Julie to help with the build of our new home. The many decisions to be made while building a new home was very overwhelming, but Julie took the stress away. She is very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. I can't say enough good things about our experience working with her. She literally helped with every aspect of the project from the ground up. She helped pick out paint colors, flooring, light fixtures, hardware,countertops, window treatments, closet design, furniture, and so much more. She was respectful of our style and budget. We never felt pressured. She offered great advice and has access to multiple sources. She is reliable and dependable and facilitates all work to be done. She follows up and makes sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. She has great insight and a real flare for planning out and decorating a space and making it all come together. We highly recommend consulting with her before undertaking any new build, remodel or redecorating project. We couldn't be happier with the way our new home turned out. We will continue to work with her on future decorating needs. Thanks Julie

Julie worked with us to pick out a highly necessary new kitchen table. She also suggested where I should look for needed tablecloths and cloth napkins. The new table with leaves, and 8 chairs turned out to be fantastic!

Julie designed and coordinated our kitchen remodel. The contractors she brought in were professional and timely. Julie ensured that our ideas were incorporated while keeping the design classic and timeliness. She also made sure our kitchen blended with the rest of our home and was functional for our family.

Our home remodel was nearly finished, but we had a lighting problem for which our contractor, Kaufman Construction referred us to Julie Youngblade at JY Designs. She did a fabulous job of presenting ideas and options for blocking the neighbor's lights from our bedroom windows. The quality of materials, range of styles and prices, and variety of solutions was terrific! We have been in two remodeling home shows and have received many compliments and inquiries related to Julie's company, JY Designs. We will enthusiastically recommend her over and over again.

Julie at JY Design helped us choose all the parts of a main floor remodel/update in our 14 year old traditional (lots of oak trim) house. She offered well informed advice on flooring, countertop, sink, faucet, lighting, backsplash, carpeting and wall color. Julie has access to all the source options, knows installers, will help facilitate all the work to be done, and follows through to make sure you are happy with the results. She's a great ilstener and is detail oriented. Highly recommend!

I struggled with choosing a designer, afraid that my voice and personality (and, yes, budget) would be overshadowed by the designer's "vision" for my projects. When I called Julie, I was immediately comfortable, and our first meeting confirmed that I had made the right choice. In the last 15 months or so, Julie has helped me redo my family room and refresh my kitchen. She masterfully blends her design expertise with her instincts about the client...in my case, recognizing that I sometimes needed a little push to make a decision and other times stepping back and waiting for me to choose. Most importantly, my projects are not the type that will show up in any magazine, but I always receive the same comprehensive, start-to-finish service as if they were. I especially appreciated Julie's standards of excellence; she once spotted the slightest variation in my backsplash installation--one that I hadn't even noticed--and it was fixed the next day. I have come to think of Julie as a friend as well as a designer. If you are looking for a personable, down-to-earth and very knowledgable designer, I recommend you give Julie a call.

The main floor of our new house needed personality, proportion, and more seating for entertaining, all while remaining kid and dog-friendly. Julie created just the right plan for our needs and has been so fun to work with on the implementation. We get so many compliments on our home now!

I have had the privilege & good fortune of working with Julie Youngblade on a number of projects in my home. She helped me thru the entire remodel of my Master & Guest Bath - from paint, to cabinets, heated tiled flrs, mirrors, lighting & more! She guided me in the selection & purchase of carpet, rugs, lamps & bedspreads; she has given me advice on paint colors & assisted in selecting new furniture for my Great Rm & Dining Rm. All the while being cognizant of my 'champagne tastes on a beer budget'. My family & friends have loved the transformation and have asked me for her number!! Julie, also, assisted my Mother-in-law in a total makeover of her townhome - she has nothing but high praise for Julie's expertise!!
