Charming Craftsman

I believe every home has 9 lives. I’m just happy I got to be apart of one of them with this lil’ kitschy, charming baby. This house got a compete renovation inside and out thanks to Archway Properties. We removed the wall in between the kitchen and dining room. Restored all the hardwoods and added a fun statement tile in kitchen and bath. I went with all gold lighting and plumbing fixtures. I decided to repaint the walls SW Ibis White (pink tint) because I loved the original pink. The blue mantle and steps? Yep again with the kitsch. That’s SW Delft. It’s the most perfect soft blue.

Fortunately and unfortunately, this charmer already has a new owners. Can’t wait to hand over the keys to this lil baby. Now, it’s time to renovate the next home and give it the love and attention it deserves.

TOP 18 in 2018

Well, I think it’s safe to say 2018 was successful! I just counted and recounted (because I didn’t believe my math) the number of stages last year and I came up with 125?! How is this even possible? Last year was 52 and the year before that was 35! Holy moly, that is a 140% increase from last year! I even had 30 staging consultations, 15 flips and 10 interior design clients mixed in. I can’t thank my clients enough- agents, investors, homeowners. corporations and agencies. Thank you for trusting me with your homes, projects and designs. I brought on a full-time assistant, leased a 2,000 sqft warehouse and Sprinter van to make job run as smooth as possible. So far so good :)

Here’s my top 18 stages of 2018. I wish I could share my commercial work with Pella Corportation but it won’t be out til early 2019. Thanks for everything! Can’t wait to see what 2019 brings!

Best,

Jess

Home Sweet Home

Well the last seven months around the Miller/Lemmo home has been eventful to say the very least. Last Fall, when we found out I was pregnant we dove head first into home renovations.  Luckily for me, Tony (my partner) is hybrid between Martha Stewart and Bob Villa.  And luckily for him, I am really talented general contractor i.e. - picking out interior finishes, furniture and decor.  Here's an overall view of everything that has been completed thus far in our 66 year old Waveland Woods home. Stay tuned for room by room details with progress photos and details of what was used and where we found it.
