Ever passionate about art and design, Julie studied at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Los Angeles. She designed women’s clothing, then redesigned and flipped houses, and later, she designed sustainable baby blankets. Now, she gets a real charge out of designing beautiful spaces that express the personality and lifestyle of her clients while allowing them to remain in their home and neighborhood for as long as they choose.

Recently, she combined her talents with those of her husband, John, who builds beautiful custom hardwood furniture. John has always enjoyed building things. He worked in financial services and in tech for 40 years, relegating his love of woodworking to hobby status. Today, he’s a full time woodworker, continually perfecting his skills. And he loves every minute of it.

Together, John and Julie select the wood, using non-endangered and locally sourced hardwoods, including rescued fallen trees, whenever possible. Then John plans the construction with care and precision, incorporating fine woodworking techniques such as mortise and tenon joinery and dovetail drawers. John says that what he loves most about making custom furniture is that he can create something that will bring joy to others and continue to be used and cherished for years to come.

Custom fine furniture design options

We design

Tell us what you want in your custom piece. Julie will design and model it in a CAD program so that you can see a 360-degree model. She will work with you to ensure that all of the details are perfect and keep you updated with photos throughout the build processes if you wish.

You design

You provide the design, and we will import or input it into our CAD program so that we can collaborate with you to perfect all of the details. If you like, we can keep you updated with photos throughout the entire process.

Interior design + project management

Julie will not only design your space to fit your wants and needs, she will also manage your entire project from initial planning through every detail of bringing the design to life, so you don’t have to worry about anything. As your designer, she will collaborate with you to determine your design concept, scope of work, safety issues and suggestions, and timeline. Then she will present your final design, materials and furniture options for approval. As project manager, she will oversee the entire project from materials purchases and deliveries, to hiring and managing contractors to overseeing every detail of installation.

Call, text or email Julie today to discuss any project you may be considering.

We absolutely love the custom bed. It looks amazing next to the nightstand that was built to match. Our son brags to everyone that it’s made of Ash wood, he thinks it’s so funny (his name is Ash)!!

“We love our new bathroom. I’ve heard terrible stories about remodeling but had none of that experience. Julie did all the leg work for us. By the time we made our choices, we understood how all the colors and textures would work together. We trusted Julie’s expertise and we reap the compliments.”

“John’s beautifully crafted benches add to the spa like atmosphere.”
