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.
Inspired by Interior Designer Rose Uniacke
I have been enamored by Rose Uniake's home. Every inch has been thought through, every mundane cord hidden. Every detail is handled, and handled in a beautiful way. It's a marvelous inspiration for how your home can serve your life.
Her home was built in 1861 for James Rannie Swinton, a society portraitist. Rose herself got into the industry by restoring antiques. Her mother is also an antiques dealer with a shop not far from Roses.
Designing a Custom Closet
Designing a custom closet is about more than just storage—it’s about creating a beautifully organized, highly functional space tailored to your lifestyle. At Jamie House Design, we believe luxury closet design should combine elegance and efficiency, transforming a simple storage area into a personalized retreat.
For this project, originally completed in Houston, we designed all the built-ins to fit the client’s specific clothing and shoe storage needs. Now based in Denver, Jamie House Design continues to specialize in high-end, custom closet design that blends form and function seamlessly.
Bringing a Mid-Century Modern Gem Back to Life
At Jamie House Design, we believe in honoring the architectural integrity of every home while making it functional for modern living. When we had the opportunity to collaborate with P&G Homes on the renovation of a neglected Mid-Century Modern house, we saw immense potential. Our goal was to restore and elevate this home, balancing its original charm with thoughtful updates. While Jamie House Design is now based in Denver, our love for mid-century modern design extends to homeowners in Littleton and beyond.

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.
