This Before and After is Bananas.

I do the selections and design decisions for a couple builders around town. This house is by P&G Homes. I love working with them because they rehab existing houses instead of tearing down and building townhomes.  

This home is in the Meyerland area of Houston. It's near town, especially near the Houston Medical Center. It's a cute neighborhood known for the mid century homes. This home is a latter mid-century home. It is unassuming from the front, but the floorplan is spectacular. It's no surprise that this home has been snatched up before even going on the market.

Basically the house was gutted and rebuilt. The selections are neutral grays and lean towards transitional. The goal with builder homes is to appeal to a large audience. We can't appeal to everyone without appealing to no one though so I always have a person in mind when designing the homes. This home is for a young family, a bit with it and hip. They read magazines and stay current. They want the ease of having a home fixed up for them and the ability to add their personality to it later. 

So here we go...before and afters. Some images were pulled from P&G's facebook page.

Nearly complete.

I'll share more when I get better pictures. These were all taken with phones. I always forget in the midst of working to snap shots, plus there are usually people all over and they frown on being in pictures. ;)  

The hardest part for me in working with builders is leaving the space like this and not finishing it out. When I design I have a full vision complete to furniture and fabrics so not seeing it completed leaves a bit of a hole.

Currant Drive: Master Retreat

Today I want to share some sneak peeks of a gorgeous master bedroom I completed a few months ago. I've been working on this home in little bits for a couple of years now. It really does help to live in a home for a bit before you get down to serious decorating. Tastes evolve and time shows you how you really live in your house.

I LOVE designing master bedrooms. The master bedroom is the only room in a home that the homeowners only consider what they want and love. Other spaces reflect the homeowners but children, pets and guests help make a lot of the decisions. Everyone should have a beautiful bedroom that feels like a retreat to recharge from the rest of the world.

Jamie House Design Updates.

It's a really busy time of year over here at Jamie House Design! Fall slowly making itself known ushers in the desire for changes. It's also a quick few months till the holidays and time to schedule time with workrooms before they're full. Usually my workrooms stop taking "before Christmas" requests by the end of October. I know it's really crazy to think holidays now! It always sneaks up on me so I'm trying to get a head start this year.

I got out of my box and spoke at the Texas Home & Garden Show this weekend. Public speaking is a jump for me. It went pretty well and now I know what I need to work on! My talks were about finding your own style, current trends & applying them to your home plus some design tips using trays. I'll blog some of it this week. I met really great people both running the show and visitors to the show. I do love interacting with you guys and answering design questions. 

It's been about six months since I went full in with Jamie House Design. I feel really incredible about where JHD is right now and I know I owe it to you. Thank you so much for your support and trust in me to design your homes and businesses. I've never had so much fun or worked so much/hard. It's great.  

I've been refining procedures and design services based on what's working for me and providing you with the best designs as efficiently as possible. You may have noticed I dropped the E-Design and Design in a Box Services. I really thought a lot about this but for where Jamie House Design is right now it's the best decision. Hopefully I'll be in a place to offer these services again. In the meantime I'm available for in home/business appointments and really love working with you face to face. 

I just updated my How I Work section so be sure to check that out. I'm really excited about this season of my business and the service I'm able to offer you.  

Thank you guys again! I seriously have the best clients and vendors. The. Best.
