I scheduled a near-total renovation of my condo, including the kitchen and two bathrooms, but was completely overwhelmed by the number of choices and decisions to be made on materials and aesthetics. My contractor introduced me to Julie, who very patiently and methodically worked with me to ascertain what styles I liked and advised me on specific choices for everything, from a new bathtub to cabinet handles.
We went together to select the new tile and countertops to go with my new cabinets. We also shopped for a new suite of kitchen appliances including a "counter-depth" refrigerator, which I didn't know was a "thing" to think about.
I couldn't have done the remodel without Julie. She pulled me out of decision paralysis and gave great advice on aesthetic and practical issues. I know the result is much better than anything I could have come up with on my own. I'm delighted by my beauthiful new bathrooms and kitchen on a daily basis.

During our master bath remodel and closet conversion to a half-bath, Julie helped us with every aspect of design. First gathering our style through our houzz favorites, then suggesting colors and material that were both appealing to us and fit our budget. Her suggestions were spot on and it made picking out items easy.
The result was an incredible transformation from the circa 1965 purple tiled bathroom to a curb-less walk-in shower with a tiled linear drain, water closet, huge medicine cabinets doubling as vanity mirrors, bountiful light, and the list goes on.
I honestly feel that we could not have done it without her. I ask lots of questions and she was there for us every step of the way. I'm absolutely going to use her design services again when it's time for the next project.

We have done several remodels in the past and complete to stud teardowns. When we needed to remodel several bathrooms and update our home for sale, we found Julie. What a lucky find for us! She has an amazing eye and worked with us to the point where she basically knew what we liked and didn't like.
We had so much faith in her that eventually, we just let her make all the decisions within budget. She chose the tiles, patterns inlay, counter surfaces, mirrors, cabinets, tubs, fixtures just quickly reviewing with us before proceeding
She then worked on pricing with the contractor and kept all the time lines.
When she was done, It was jaw dropping what she did within our budget.
Thank you Julie, our home sold over asking and within a day after showing.

We remodeled our house in Alamo after purchase and before moving in. What started as a remodel of a couple rooms slowly crept to a full house remodel. Julie came recommended by the contractor we were working with. I am so glad we decided to hire Julie... for so many reasons.
Julie was proactive and helped us get ahead of important decisions in a way that made our lives much easier and complimented the last-minute decision requests we got from our contractor. Every week, she outlined what decisions we needed to make and would send us her top 3-5 recommendations. That saved us hours of research and also, ensured that whatever we chose would look good in the house.
Julie also had a broad network or stores and contacts in the area that she would recommend to help us accomplish whatever we were looking to do... and her recos were always spot on. For example, I knew I wanted custom kitchen cabinets and the contact my contractor had was booked for months. Julie swept in and saved the day by providing a contact she knew... and we ended up with beautiful kitchen and bar cabinets that fit our timeline!
Julie was always willing to jump in and help whenever we needed her and made several recommendations that I never would have considered that really made our project run a lot more smoothly and resulted in a beautiful end product- I love my new space!
I would highly recommend working with a designer if you're considering a remodel (an absolute must) and would recommend hiring Julie. She's got an eye for beauty and sophistication, is flexible with changes, and will go above and beyond to make sure your house is beautiful.

Julie helped me pick the finishes for a ground up new house. This project with five bathrooms and a large kitchen was an overwhelming project for me. Julie made the process of picking finishes very enjoyable and organized. She really helped this project come together so the house was cohesive. Julie was always accessible to me for major finish decisions as well as furniture, window coverings and accessory choices. I appreciate that Julie understood what I wanted to achieve using my own style, color and aesthetic. Julie is friendly, organized, connected in her industry and most of all a calm presence!

Julie has been amazing resource helping us renovate every room in our house. She has helped us eliminate outdated designs and furnishings. Her assistance included choosing paint, paint colors, quartz counter tops, cabinets, appliances, bathroom fixtures, wood flooring, carpets, light fixtures, door hardware, window treatments, and closet doors, and more. Julie is extremely easy to work with, providing whatever level of support you need. She follows through on all commitments and is very responsive to all questions. Julie recommends several choices to pick from and when we were unsure helped guide through the decision process. Her forte is style and picking colors and knowing what goes with what while keeping to our decorating preferences and budget. She has leveraged her relationships to help provide us quotes and passing on all her discounts to us. She continues to remain available to us for questions or consultation. We are thrilled with our newly remodeled home and highly recommend Julie.

Julie was very helpful in our master bathroom remodel. She went well beyond just style and color recommendations--she also gave us great insight into the process and the timing of the whole project. There are so many decisions you have to make when remodeling a bathroom, and Julie helped keep us focused and on schedule while also providing great guidance when we needed it so we never felt overwhelmed. She gave us plenty of resources for obtaining materials, accompanied us on visits to pick out big items like shower tiles and countertops, and was always available to answer questions as we tried to figure out exactly what we wanted. We absolutely love our new bathroom. Thank you, Julie, for helping us to make our vision a reality!

I cannot speak highly enough of Julie! She was recommended by a friend - I wanted a design and color expert for a master bath remodel. She helped me pick the tile, the design layout of the shower, the floor tile, and the paint after carefully listening to me. I wanted something neutral, clean and classically simply. Not too dark and not too busy. She handled all of the details and stayed on top of the project and was really instrumental in getting the project done. I changed my mind halfway through the project and decided to get a new countertop instead of keeping the old - as well as deciding to paint the cabinets. This did not phase her and she immediately made an appointment for the countertop showroom and drove me there to be sure I chose the granite that was perfect! She also had a painter lined up within just a couple of days. Crazy good!
She will help as little or as much as you need - she is an excellent listener and you will not be disappointed with her service - and she has a great personality! ;) I would use her services again!!

I would never have such a beautiful kitchen and living space without Julie! She helped us through the appliance selection and then helped us choose beautiful countertops while educating us along the way. Paint choices are always difficult, but her recommendations came out perfect. Julie has excellent installer resources and networks providing fantastic lighting and furniture recommendations, while being sensitive to our budget needs. She topped it off by using budget friendly, yet very beautiful decorative items to give it that “Wow, Wow” factor that has actually happened multiple times. I came to fully trust her decision-making and her very creative eye. She saved us so much time and money by eliminating costly mistakes, I highly recommend her for any size design project.

My realtor recommended Julie and she was exactly what I needed for my kitchen remodel! Everyone seems to have the same kitchen these days and my house has warm tones so I didn't want the standard grey and white. She helped me pick a brand new quartz countertop and the prefect backsplash to match. It definitely looks updated but perfectly fits the style of my more traditional home. Julie helped me think of things I didn't and she also helped me with my cabinet refacing even though I signed a contract with the company before I hired Julie. She had great contractors that fabricated and installed the countertops, hung the lights, installed the new sinks, etc. She took ownership of timing and things I needed done - I would have fumbled through this remodel for months without her!

Julie was great to work with and offered a fresh perspective and concept for my master bath remodel in my mid-century modern that I would not have considered myself. She provided great options for decor and stayed on top of the contractor throughout the entire project (from evaluating bids and interviewing prospective contractors to the final punch list). I highly recommend Julie for any home improvement project and plan to hire her again for my upcoming work.
