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.

  • “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.”

    —E. Phelps

  • “Jamie is truly gifted in her career of design. She is not only gifted at seeing potential, a complete picture and is able to put things together in an imaginative way, she does all of that while analyzing her client’s personality and making it come to life. Walking into a room designed by Jamie gains you instant insight into what the owner is all about. I see that ability as a special gift.”

    —J. Headley

  • “We had a wonderful experience working with Jamie House Design on our bathroom renovation. Jamie’s attention to detail and eye for design were evident in every aspect of the project.

Highly recommend Jamie House Design for any interior design needs!”

She was the perfect go between with the contractors and us. I plan to use Jamie for all my future renovation and design needs. You will not regret going with Jamie.

Jamie’s architectural design recommendations with regards to ceiling details, wall finishes, cabinetry detailing, kitchen & bath layouts have led to improved, innovative designs that translates to great response from my home buyers. In addition, her plumbing trim, decorative electrical fixtures, stone, & tile selections have been on point with what buyers are wanting in the market today. I highly recommend her services & will continue to use Jamie in the future.”

    -C. Michael Batts, CM Batts Developers

I have had lots of compliments on her work. She listens and is particular to details. She can think “out of the box” and come up with great design ideas. She always consults with you before making any purchases and decisions. We also have spent time looking at different pieces at the stores. She makes time and is there when you need her. You will be pleased with her work!”

  • “We used Jamie House Design as part of a six-figure office remodel for our engineering company. Everything Jamie did from CAD plans to remodeling to furnishings and design worked seamlessly to make our new office great. Jamie listened to us and knew what we needed better than we knew ourselves. Clients and visitors to our offices are always complimenting the look and feel of our work environment, and this impression is a huge asset to our business.”

    -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!”

    -A. West

  • “I highly recommend Jamie House. She knows what she’s doing, she accurately nails down the personalities and tastes of whoever she is decorating for and she does it all with a sense of calm and ease that you will find absolutely delightful.”

    -S. Joines

  • “As a builder, Jamie has become a primary source for all of our design needs. She chooses all finishes inside and out; including cabinetry/trim, tile, counters, paint colors, electric/plumbing fixtures, landscaping, etc, etc.. Jamie and her team are a pleasure to work with and have played a big role in our reputation of providing high quality homes. Because I build spec homes, I give Jamie quite a bit of freedom in her choices; she consistently creates fresh and beautiful interiors that appeal to my buyers. Everyone loves her final product!”

    -P&G Homes

  • “Working with Jamie was wonderful because she listened to what I wanted and had the same vision I did. My baby girl’s nursery was complete with the draperies that Jamie designed. Her attitude and impeccable taste made this experience very easy and quick. So happy with the results!”

    -V. Bazan
