Design Notes from the Studio
After 20 years designing homes across the US, Europe, and Asia, I returned to Colorado to focus exclusively on South Denver neighborhoods. This journal shares what I'm learning as I navigate Centennial kitchens, Littleton historic homes, and the unique challenges of designing close to home.
You'll find project stories, design philosophy, practical advice, and honest reflections on what it takes to create homes that work for real families.
Before & After: A Stunning Home Transformation | Follow Up
At Jamie House Design, we believe a home remodel should not only enhance the beauty of a space but also improve its functionality. One of our most rewarding projects was a collaboration with P&G Homes on a full-scale home remodel in Houston. Designed with an affluent family in mind, this home now boasts a layout perfect for modern living, with luxurious details that balance elegance and practicality.
A Home Designed for Family Living
From the start, this home had strong bones and a fantastic floor plan. It featured a butler’s pantry with a desk, wine storage in the dining room, a spacious kitchen with two seating areas, four bedrooms, a generous utility room with ample storage, a private office off the primary suite, and a custom-built vanity for added convenience. The primary suite also included a walk-in closet and an expansive spa-like bathroom—everything a family could ask for.

Our at Home Wedding One Year Later
I never shared the photos from our gorgeous, intimate backyard wedding, and what better time than now, as we celebrate our one-year anniversary! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of—personal, meaningful, and filled with love. My cousin officiated as we exchanged vows in our own backyard, followed by a beautiful family-style vegan feast from Radical Eats, served right down our driveway. The flowers came fresh from the farmers market, and our incredible friends strung up lights and crafted delicate paper flowers, making the whole setting feel absolutely magical.
Culture Travel : Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
I got a long weekend in Fort Worth this past weekend due to my husband speaking at an Android conference. I got to meet with a client, eat great food and visit my favorite museum. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The building gives me goose bumps, it feels alive. I love the art of course, but the building. The building is a modern piece of art itself. The concrete walls. The amazing windows and the shadows the mullions create is beyond. Goose bumps. I always get emotional in this space. I didn't get a shot of the famous windows, I was running out of time and my phone died midway through the museum.

A Luxurious Primary Retreat by Jamie House Design
Creating a primary bedroom that serves as a true retreat is one of my greatest joys as an interior designer. Your bedroom should be more than just a place to sleep—it should be a sanctuary, a reflection of your style, and a luxurious escape from daily life. Today, I’m sharing a stunning transformation that embodies these principles.
This primary retreat, originally designed in Houston, showcases the timeless elegance and personalized design that Jamie House Design is known for. Now based in Denver, our approach remains rooted in sophisticated, high-end interiors that cater to the unique needs of each homeowner.
Exciting Updates at Jamie House Design
As the season shifts and fall slowly makes its presence known, Jamie House Design is busier than ever! With the holidays fast approaching, now is the perfect time to schedule design projects before workrooms reach capacity. Typically, our workrooms stop accepting "before Christmas" requests by the end of October, so planning ahead is key. The holiday season always seems to arrive faster than expected, and this year, we are staying ahead of the curve.
The Timeless Luxury of Hutton Wilkinson & Tony Duquette
For those who appreciate the fusion of art, design, and theatrical splendor, few names resonate as profoundly as Tony Duquette. A legendary Hollywood set designer and jewelry artist, Duquette’s legacy lives on through the brilliant work of his former business partner, Hutton Wilkinson.
Hutton Wilkinson’s home, once belonging to Duquette himself, is an extraordinary testament to maximalist luxury, layered storytelling, and boundless creativity. Every room is a stage set—a masterful interplay of color, texture, and opulence that speaks to a refined collector’s eye. The home is not just a residence; it is a living, breathing piece of art.
Celebrating Original Art: The Timeless Work of Holly Farrell
At Jamie House Design, we believe that original art is an essential element in creating truly unique and inspiring interiors. Incorporating artwork into a space brings depth, emotion, and a sense of personal connection that simply can’t be replicated with mass-produced pieces. That’s why we are passionate about promoting talented artists and integrating their work into our designs.
One artist whose work we deeply admire is Holly Farrell. Farrell's paintings capture the quiet beauty of everyday objects with a sense of nostalgia and warmth. Her ability to elevate the ordinary into something extraordinary makes her pieces a perfect fit for thoughtfully designed interiors.
