Good Bones

The house itself wasn't worth saving. In any other neighborhood, it would have been a teardown; structurally compromised, beyond reasonable repair. But this was a historic district, which meant the demolition permit wasn't coming. Every original window had to stay exactly where it was. The footprint was fixed.

So we worked with what we had and built around it. The addition expanded the living space in ways the original structure never could have supported, while every new element; the farmhouse kitchen in blue cabinetry, the gingham laundry floor, the globally-sourced home office was designed to feel like it belonged to a house that had always been this way. The windows that couldn't move became organizing principles. The constraints that looked like limitations became the design.

The result is a home that doesn't read as rescued. It reads as considered.

  • “Jamie House Design was invaluable to us after we purchased a second home. We started from scratch and needed advice on paint colors, window coverings, wallpaper, rugs, furnishings, and decorative items. JHD was a delight to work with. Jamie truly listened to our preferences, and was able to find beautiful options that my husband and I could agree on (not always easy!). She was always responsive and diplomatic. Now, as I look around our home, I am so thankful for Jamie House Design every day.”

    -Sparx Engineering

  • “I moved to Houston in a tight housing market and all I could really afford was a “fixer-upper”. I found Jamie through Houzz (just read the profiles and thought she would be a good fit). The design and remodeling process took about 6 mos and it was, end-to-end, a great experience. Can’t recommend Jamie highly enough. Wonderful resource.”

    -E. Terry

  • “I found Jamie House Design on Houzz and after seeing her blog and learning her design process, I knew she was the right fit! We were just wanting Jamie to help select paints and here we are a year later with a fabulous home! We moved into an older ranch style home in Glenwood and Jamie has completely transformed our space into a gem! The original owners came over and said they wanted it back, haha! Jamie designed a brand new kitchen, family room, laundry with my own wrap room and a kitchenette off the “man cave.” I love that she asked us how we moved in our home and then married function with beauty into her design! She has given both of us what we want even when we were at odds over the decision. We have not been easy clients and Jamie has had such patience with our situation and has always done her best to make sure we were happy. She has very high standards when it comes to the people who work on our home. Every single contractor, landscaper, window treatment co. plumber etc has been a five star experience! We can’t say enough about Jamie House! We are so thankful that we found her and that Houston residents have access to this level of talent!”
