JAX Decor & Design

I founded JAX Decor & Design in 2009. With a long-time love and passion for decorating, I decided it was time to pursue my dream of becoming a full-time decorator. My decorating accomplishments include:

• 2008:   Appearance on an episode of Rate My Space on HGTV US.
• 2010:   Won the Home Office category in Design Trade's  Give Us Your Best Shot II competition.
• 2010:   Staged a home for an episode of All For Nothing on the W Network.

Why JAX?
Good question! JAX is an acronym with a few meanings. It's the nickname for my Catahoula Leopard Dog, Jackson. It's also a play on the names of the dogs I've had - Jackson, Carbo, Kylie, and Squirt (JCKS). And JA are the first two letters of my last name. Plus it's just a cool word!

These are the decorating services I offer. Don't see what you're looking for?? Drop me a line or leave me a comment below and let me know what you need.

Decorating consultation
During this two hour on-site meeting, we'll look at and discuss the rooms that you want to redecorate or renovate. I'll take all your requirements as well as your likes and dislikes, and put together a complete decorating plan for you.

Colour consultation
The easiest and most economical way to update a room is by changing the wall colour. Based on lighting, adjoining spaces, and function, I'll select wall, ceiling, and trim colours for any room in your house.
