I know how it feels to want a classic, beautiful home — but not know how to get there.
There are so many decisions to make, the stakes (and price tags) are high, and the pressure to “get it right” can be paralyzing.
I found myself in this predicament a few years ago and as you can likely tell from this photo, my strategy was to make no decisions at all:
At the time, I was convinced that if I just found the right wall color, somehow my living room would miraculously look like the ones I saw on Pinterest. (spoiler alert: it didn’t)
Out of sheer stubbornness, I spent years piecing together decorating advice, reading, experimenting, and slowly figuring out how to pull a room together. Eventually, I redecorated my living room. Here’s how it looks today:
Along the way, I learned a LOT about decorating, renovating, and what makes a home feel timeless and classic.
But the main thing I learned is that you don’t need a design degree to make your home beautiful.
You just need the right tools.
And that’s exactly why I wanted to create House of Julep- to give people like you (and me) a shortcut to a classic, polished home, without spending years trying to figure it out.
I hope you’ll stay a while and check things out – I’ll be sharing my best decorating advice on the blog and will soon be launching a series of Classic & Timeless Room Blueprints. These will break down exactly what you need to know (and nothing you don’t) to “move the needle” as they say towards a beautiful home.
Beyond our blueprints, I also offer personalized Design Consultations to help you navigate any design challenges. If you're feeling overwhelmed but committed to achieving that perfect classic look, I'd love to connect so we can work through it together.
