A Stress Free Kitchen Remodel is Possible...before the Holidays!

9/26/2025

 
Picture
​I love helping my clients create spaces they absolutely love—and nothing excites me more than a kitchen transformation.

📸 Picture this: it’s a chilly Minnesota evening and the aroma of a wonderful meal fills the air. Your counters are clear and gleaming, perfectly lit. Every pot, pan, and spice jar has its place—no more clutter, no more broken drawer pulls, no more outdated cabinetry.

This is your kitchen—fresh, updated, and designed to reflect your unique style. It’s a space where family and friends naturally gather, where conversations flow as easily as that first glass of wine, and where you can start every day inspired and end every evening relaxed.

Now, here’s the best part—you barely lifted a finger to make it happen. From the moment we start, I guide you through every decision so it never feels overwhelming. I’ll help you choose finishes, cabinetry, and appliances that fit your taste, budget, and your lifestyle. Together we’ll design a layout that makes cooking and entertaining effortless.

🦺 Behind the scenes, I coordinate all the details with my trusted team of craftsmen and contractors—people I know will deliver top-quality work. We’ll keep the project on schedule and on budget, so when the holidays arrive you’re ready to welcome guests into a kitchen that looks like it leapt off the pages of a design magazine.

When you work with me, you get more than a beautiful, functional kitchen—you get peace of mind. I handle the headaches so you can focus on the excitement of seeing your dream take shape.

The holidays will be here before we know it. If you’re dreaming of hosting 🍗Thanksgiving dinner or ringing in the New Year 🥳 in a brand-new gourmet kitchen, now is the perfect time to begin. Starting your remodel today means we can create a space that’s ready for all the celebrations to come.

Let’s design a kitchen that works beautifully for you—where every drawer opens smoothly, every detail delights, and every meal smells as amazing as it tastes.

Las Vegas Market Design Trends of 2025

8/13/2025

 
Picture
(Aug 2025)
I’m back from the Las Vegas Market — the interior design world’s version of Disneyland (only with better lighting and none of the endless lines). It’s where the latest trends, the best new pieces, and the most inspiring ideas come together — and where I spend my days touching fabrics, testing furniture, and talking design with my favorite vendors.

Because here’s the thing: I believe the home is an extension of the self — who we are, what we value, and how we want to feel in our everyday lives. That’s why I seek out design touches that are beautiful, timeless, and never overdone.

And let me tell you — this year’s Market did not disappoint. Here’s what’s hot right now:
  • Warm Tones — think caramel, rich browns, oatmeal, and warm grays that make a space feel instantly inviting.
  • Curves Everywhere — from sofas to headboards, even coffee tables — the soft, rounded edges add comfort and style.
  • Champagne Bronze Metals — showing up in light fixtures, cabinet hardware, and accessories for a sophisticated glow.

These trends aren’t just “what’s in” — they’re design details that create spaces you can live in and love. Warm colors soothe, curves invite you in, and champagne bronze adds just the right sparkle.

If your home feels a little cold, tired, or stuck in another decade, now is the perfect time to bring in these warm, welcoming looks. I can help you tailor these trends to your space so they feel fresh, personal, and oh-so-you.

📞 Call me today and let’s start creating a home that inspires you — every single day.

Until next time,

Cheers!

Rethinking the Formal Dining Room

6/16/2025

 
Let’s talk about the formal dining room—that rarely used space that once played host to holiday dinners and the “good china.” Times have changed, and so have our lifestyles. Today’s families crave spaces that are functional, beautiful, and most of all, used.

As someone who’s been designing homes for nearly 40 years, I’ve seen just how much value—and joy—can come from reimagining these traditional rooms. One of my recent favorite transformations? A formal dining room turned into an elegant piano room. Click the link to watch the video above...(will open in a new window)


🎶 Picture this:
  • A stunning baby grand piano as the centerpiece

  • A dramatic black and white rug to anchor the space

  • Sophisticated wallpaper that adds texture and flair

  • And a breathtaking light fixture that enhances the room’s energy without overshadowing the instrument

The result? A room that’s no longer closed off and forgotten, but alive with music, style, and personality.

Whether it’s a piano room, an expansion of your kitchen, a home library, a cocktail lounge, or a cozy reading nook—your unused dining room has so much potential. Let’s design a space that reflects how you live now, not how your grandmother entertained guests in 1975.

If your home has a room that’s gathering dust instead of memories, you know what to do: Don’t let your house drive you insane—call Jayne!

It Won't be Cheaper Later!

5/13/2025

Let me ask you something:
When you walk through your front door, do you feel energized, inspired, and at home—or do you feel like your walls are silently judging you for that 2009 paint color?

If it’s the latter, it’s officially time to remodel. And not just because I say so, but because right now is the best time you’ll have to invest in your home before prices rise even more.

The truth is, materials costs are creeping up, labor is in high demand, and suppliers are already hinting at another round of price increases. Waiting “just one more year” could mean blowing your budget on the same tile you can snag today for a song (okay, maybe not a cheap song—).

So, what should you update?
Glad you asked. Let’s talk trends with staying power:

🛁 Spa-Like Bathrooms – Think walk-in showers with matte black fixtures, floating vanities, backlit mirrors, and a soothing, natural palette. Your morning routine just became a wellness ritual.

🍽 Statement Kitchens – Say goodbye to boring white and hello to deep navy or forest green cabinetry, fluted wood details, mixed metal hardware, and bold backsplashes. Quartz counters are still king, but we’re layering them with personality.

🛋 Multi-Use Living Rooms – Whether you’re WFH, doing yoga, or corralling kids, open-concept spaces now need zones. Built-in shelving, cozy reading nooks, and textured wall treatments are making a huge comeback.

🎨 Color Comebacks – Warm neutrals, earthy terracottas, and moody hues are dominating walls and furniture. White and gray? Still classics—but they need a little drama to keep up.

🌿 Biophilic Design – Translation: more plants, natural light, organic textures, and indoor/outdoor flow. It’s not just pretty—it’s proven to reduce stress and increase focus.

But Here’s the Big One:
Updating your home = increasing your home value.

Whether you plan to sell in five years or never, a well-designed remodel can bump your resale price by tens of thousands. Kitchens and bathrooms still reign supreme for ROI, and even cosmetic updates (hello, new lighting and paint!) can pack a punch.

But beyond the dollars, let’s talk sanity.
You spend so much of your life at home—it should support your lifestyle, reflect your personality, and bring you joy. If there is a space that is annoying you instead of lifting you up, something’s got to change.

And guess what? That “something” is not you.
It’s your layout. Your fixtures. Your decade-old tile.
That’s where I come in.

✨ Ready to love where you live again?
Let’s turn your home into a haven that works for you—not against you.

Call me, text me, send a telegram—I’m here for your remodel rescue.
Because life’s too short for ugly countertops and beige regrets.

Don’t let your house drive you insane. Call Jayne!

My Prices are Better than Home Depot

Let’s talk countertops! Cambria is the Gold Standard of quartz surfaces—gorgeous, durable, and American-made--right here in Minnesota! A stunning Cambria countertop can instantly transform your kitchen, elevating the entire space with elegance, functionality, and timeless appeal. Whether you love sleek modern designs or classic veined patterns, Cambria offers a wide range of styles to suit any aesthetic.

You could buy it from Home Depot, but here’s the catch: they require you to purchase the entire slab, even if you don’t need that much! That’s a lot of wasted material and money.

When you work with me, you only pay for the square footage you need—no extra slabs sitting in your garage--cha-ching! Plus, if you go directly through Cambria, you’ll actually pay more per square foot than when you purchase through me. It’s a win-win!

And let’s talk installation—Home Depot outsources fabrication and installation to third-party companies, while I work exclusively with Cambria-certified installers to ensure flawless results. No cutting corners, just perfect countertops.

A new Cambria countertop doesn’t just add beauty—it enhances your kitchen’s functionality, durability, and value. Imagine cooking and entertaining in a space that feels effortlessly luxurious, easy to maintain, and built to last. Whether you’re doing a full kitchen remodel or just upgrading your counters, Cambria is a game-changer.

If you’re dreaming of a stunning new countertop, let’s chat! I’ll help you get the best price and the best craftsmanship—because your home deserves it.

Let's team up and create the perfect spaces in your home!

Fresh From the 2025 Las Vegas Market: What's In and What's Out!

2/10/2025

 
Picture

I just returned from the Las Vegas Interior Design Market, and WOW—I can’t wait to share the hottest new trends that are redefining our living spaces! If you're ready to refresh your home, take note of what’s in and what’s officially out in the world of interior design.

✨ What’s In:

🌿 Sustainable & Natural Materials – Eco-friendly design is here to stay! Think reclaimed wood, organic fabrics, and sustainable furnishings that not only look stunning but also support the planet.

🎨 Rich, Earthy Tones – Say hello to deep browns, warm terracottas, and rich greens. These colors bring warmth and sophistication, creating cozy, inviting spaces.

🛋 Curvy, Cozy Furniture – Goodbye sharp edges! Rounded sofas, plush seating, and soft silhouettes are making waves, giving homes a comfortable, welcoming feel.

🖼 Statement Stone & Bold Marbles – Dramatic stone countertops, backsplashes, and accent walls in striking veined marble or interesting wallpaper are a must-have for 2025.

🔲 Mixing Metals – Brass, black, and antique gold finishes are being mixed effortlessly to add depth and interest to lighting, hardware, and decor.

✨ What’s Out:

🚫 All-White Everything – Sterile, all-white interiors are taking a backseat to richer, moodier palettes with more personality and depth.

🚫 Fast Furniture – Mass-produced, low-quality furniture is losing its appeal as people invest in well-made, timeless pieces built to last.

🚫 Matching Everything – Gone are the days of perfectly coordinated furniture sets. Layered, eclectic, and personality-driven designs are taking over.

🚫 Overly Minimalist Spaces – While clean lines will always have a place, ultra-minimalist interiors are evolving into more curated, collected, and lived-in aesthetics.

🚫 Cool Gray Overload – Gray had its moment, but now warm, nature-inspired tones are taking the spotlight for a more inviting and dynamic look.

If your home is stuck in yesterday’s (or last decade's) trends, don’t let it drive you insane—call Jayne! I’d love to help you bring your space up to date with timeless yet trendy designs that reflect your personal style.

The holidays are just around the corner, and there's no better way to prepare than by giving your kitchen a well-deserved makeover! Whether you're hosting the family feast, baking up a storm, or simply want to wow your guests, remodeling your kitchen now will set you up for holiday magic like never before.

Create More Room for Festivities!
Remodeling doesn’t just make your kitchen prettier—it can make it more practical, too!
