Every year the first thing to bloom at our house is our incredible Japanese Magnolia. I'm in awe of the beauty every year. Once the tree drops its petals soft green leaves come in and the rest of the city becomes awash in Spring.

I am so excited to tell you all that I've been nominated in the Most Dramatic Transformation category for HGTV's Fresh Faces of Design contest! I am thrilled to be nominated.
The room that's up for vote is the main living space in the Mid-Century Modern home I designed for P&G Homes. We did a lot to change this space while maintaining the original character and intent.
The original space had an HVAC chase running through the middle of the room. It had some cabinets along the brick wall, two separate doors to the entry, the portion of the space near the back windows and doors was a step lower than the rest of the house. That was a real hazard! Someone actually fell there while the house was originally up for sale. We added the ceiling fans. The door to the backdoor was moved to the middle of the windows and enlarged. One major change that's not very noticeable is how we changed the windows on the back wall to symmetrically line up with each other.
I'd LOVE and be forever grateful for you to vote for me. You can vote on each image everyday till December 11th. Here's the link: http://www.hgtv.com/content/hgtv-photos/en/photo.html/spacious-modern-living-space-with-vaulted-ceiling-and-brick-wall

JHD Mid-Century Event Tonight.
I design a lot of homes with P&G Homes. Over a year ago they had me walk the house to get my opinion. It was bad. So bad. I got flea bites bad. But it was also so good. The potential was overwhelming. We got to work updating the floorplan to be more livable for today's lifestyle. P&G worked out removing a MAJOR beam in the large open/family room because we knew the house would be PERFECT without it. Engineers worked and stressed to get the back studio garage structurally sound again. The selections were all made considering the era of the home, budget and also the era we live in today. This house is very special.
I couldn't bear the thought of it being filled with typical staging furniture (and I don't know any stager with Mid-Century furniture options). I approached Lynn Goode Vintage to see if they'd be willing to stage the home with some of their amazing Mid-Century furniture pieces. I was delighted when they said yes (they even hung amazing art you guys)! This evening Jamie House Design along with P&G Homes and Lynn Goode Vintage are opening this Mid-Century gem to you. Please join us and share the invite with like minded folks.
I will be absolutely delighted to see you there! (I'll share pics eventually for you all that can't make it.)
