Jamie Crose/Jamie Designs

I have worked with Jamie on numerous projects within our home and she has always exceeded my expectations! This is one of the many reasons I have continued to hire her on my room renovations. Jamie has helped me with our kitchen refresh, family room, basement and most recently my son's bedroom. Each and every time, Jamie has unique ideas, encourages me to take design risks and the result is a home that my family and I love spending time in!

My husband and I hired Jamie for our brand new home to help us with selection of various items like kitchen cabinetry, backsplash, granite, light fixtures, wall colors etc.. She was very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and we both enjoyed working with her. She knew exactly what we were looking for and was able to guide us through the entire selection process. The output came out phenomenal and we are completely satisfied with our new home. We would certainly hire her again.

We just completed a kitchen "refresh" working closely with Jamie. We were looking to update the look and feel of our kitchen without having to do a complete remodel. Jamie had great ideas on how we could repurpose some of our space to be more functional. For example we had a planning desk in our kitchen that we found ourselves rarely ever using. She helped design a custom piece for this space that now serves as a dry bar with additional storage. One of the most challenging things in taking on this project was pulling together the colors, textures and accessories in a way that tied into the rest of our home. To accomplish this, Jamie helped us in the selection of our tile backsplash, granite counters, lighting, cabinet hardware and paint color. In the end they all worked together beautifully and more importantly tied into the rest of our home. Jamie got us to think outside of our comfort zone and we couldn't be happier. We always felt like Jamie was thinking about us and our project. We would get photos and other suggestions (websites, samples etc...) from Jamie to help with our decision making. I am sure it won't be long before we are working with her again on another project.

Jamie is the first designer we have worked with. We asked for specific help in picking paint colors for our new home and hired her hourly for help with rug sizes and furniture consultation. She was very easy to work with and never pressured us to make decisions. She identified great resources (websites, catalogs, ideas) that we would not have found ourselves. We are very happy with the services she provided and will continue to use her as we settle into our new home. Can't wait to see what she can do with accessories when we get to that point!

We originally contacted Jamie after she had done some work for a friend of mine. We needed some help remodeling our first floor after a kitchen/family room remodel. Jamie was easy to talk to right from the beginning. We were able to text and email to schedule appointments or to discuss design ideas. From our first meeting, Jamie assessed the space and suggested simple changes. She was very responsive to our style and the items we wanted to reuse as well as suggesting new ways to design the space. We talked about our budget and how much time and money we were willing to spend. Jamie was professional and able to meet our needs accordingly. Jamie was always hands on. She started by helping us pick out paint colors. She moved furniture on her own to try different layouts. She would send me links to artwork, mirrors, draperies, etc for each room. She picked out lamps at the store that she thought would go perfect with our color scheme. She helped to decide on fabrics for our roman shades in the kitchen and had her drapery consultant make them for us at a reasonable price. I was always impressed with Jamie's design ideas and I have gotten so many compliments on our first floor remodel now that it is complete. I will use Jamie again and recommend her to family and friends. Becky Hull Naperville, IL 60565

Jamie was great. We recently moved into an older home that was quite formal and outdated. She listened to us and helped us choose everything from paint, to flooring, to furniture to art. Within just a few months our house was absolutely beautiful and feels like home. She was able to work with the things that we couldn't change and still bring in the industrial, contemporary feel that we like.

I hired Jamie to redecorate our dining room and living room. This was the 2nd time I worked with Jamie and it was a great experience. As with my previous project, I met with Jamie to let her know the scope of my project, the budget and then my rather tight timeline. My husband and I had already ordered a new dining table and chairs, but we asked Jamie to help with the walls, flooring and window treatments in the dining room and connected living room. Her suggestions are both traditional AND outside of the box and I'm always delighted with the outcome. I have received so many compliments on the 3 rooms we've now had her help with (LR/DR/FR) that I will now contact Jamie for a consultation on any project we undertake. One of the changes we made to our dining room was the installation of pre-finished hardwood flooring. When the flooring was installed, it was the incorrect color. Jamie worked with the merchant quickly to get the flooring corrected at no additional cost to us - she really impressed us with how she handled the situation! I highly recommend Jamie!

We have used Jamie for large, total room renovations and for small room updates/refreshes using many items we already had. She takes the time to listen to your needs & budget, and to get to personally know you and your style. She is dedicated to seeing the project through to the end and making sure you are happy with the results. She is energetic, professional, and always current with the latest style trends. A pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her! -Gay Lynn Wons, client

I hired Jamie for several reasons. We wanted someone to give a color consultation for painting several rooms in our house, and some design ideas for updating cabinets and decor. After looking at different profiles on Houzz, I found Jamie's taste was what I wanted in my house. The pictures of her other projects sold me that she was the right person for the job! Our first meeting Jamie got a feel to what I wanted, and included some of her ideas as well that I never would have thought of! She was respectful when I told her of our budget, and provided a plan of working over several months to accomplish everything. Since then Jamie will pick up items that she thinks will look right in the space, or send me ideas of things I should consider ordering. It is so nice to have someone that has a great sense of style ( since I don't have any !) and someone to bounce ideas off of. Everything is coming together so nicely and I couldn't be happier! If you choose Jamie you won't be disappointed!!

I was looking for a designer to help me with the process of building a new home in Naperville because it was just too overwhelming for me. I started to choose the plumbing fixtures and appliances for the house and realized I needed help. I found her here on Houzz and I couldn't be any happier. She helped me choose the light fixtures, the cabinets, flooring, bathroom tiles, and paint. Everything was going so well with her that I also went ahead and had her pick out furniture for my dining room, living room, kitchen, and master bedroom as I needed all new furniture for the new home. Building our 4500 sq foot home was a long and tedious process and I knew I couldn't do it without her. She knew exactly my style and she had made my home looking absolutely beautiful. She is easily accesible via text. She will answer your questions and handle your concerns quickly. She is very easy to work with and very professional. I am really happy I found her. She just recently helped me with my first floor curtains/blinds and also helped me with some Christmas decorations. The very best part was finally moving into our home and enjoying living in the house that Jamie designed. I highly recommend her!

We hired Jamie to help update our kitchen, and she did a wonderful job! She spent time listening to what we wanted to change and worked with us to get the most for our budget. She had a lot of ideas that we had not thought of that really brought the kitchen together! Jamie had every detail covered to the overall layout of the kitchen to the outlet covers! Also, with two young children, we needed a kitchen that would be welcoming and modern but functional too! Now we have a kitchen that we enjoy spending time in and entertaining. I can't wait to start our next project with her!

My husband and I hired Jamie to help design our family room. We had searched through the designer listings on Houzz and found her style to be the most compatible with ours. After a few emails and sharing of pics on Houzz, she met us at our home for an initial consultation and measurement. While here, she also repurposed a few items in a way I had never thought of. She quickly honed in on my tastes and found a few items for us to review at a few local furniture stores. As it turns out, her first choice was also ours. Jamie finished our family room by repurposing a few of our decorations and picture frames on our walls, and finding the finishing touches for our room that really make our house feel, well, like home. We look forward to having Jamie work within the rest of our home. I would highly recommend Jamie to anyone.
