  • "Jamie was great through the whole process! I had just purchased a home and wanted to renovate it to have a coastal theme. I hired Jamie to help me select paint colors, furniture, and some accessories for the house. She listened to my vision and then made it happen. We were in contact throughout the process and she provided me with examples of ideas or furniture pieces so she could get the complete package right. She is so easy to work with and did everything (and more) that I had hoped for. She turned my buyer's remorse into a home I love!"

  • "We hired Bella Traverse Design to stage our home that had been on the market for almost 2 years. We had an offer within 2 months of Jamie completing the staging. She presented her ideas in a quick and professional manner and made implementing her ideas very simple with well organized and detailed suggestions. She was timely and reliable and was very approachable with questions and concerns. Her communication was superb and there were no hidden costs or surprises. I plan on having her assist me in some future design projects."

    - Amy X.

  • Jamie was personable, and easy to communicate with. She listened to my problem areas where I feel clueless on how to decorate. She asked questions on what I do and don't like. I'm excited to see what ideas she has for my project!

  • Working with Jamie at Bella Traverse Design was an easy and wonderful experience, from the initial consult to the final finished walk-through. From the very beginning, Jamie was professional, yet easy-going. What we liked best about her is that she gracefully and knowledgeably led us through the design and remodel process since we knew nothing it and were just getting into the short-term rental arena. She really took the lead to create a theme and plan that spoke to our style, personality and budget. The fact that she was a local "Michigander" helped so much because she knew the area, the culture and, ultimately, what would speak to the rental audience. We were so pleased with how easy it was to communicate with Jamie; to ask questions; to express concerns; to work together to achieve our goals. We are so happy we found her!

  • I am completely clueless when it comes to picking out furnishings, finishes, or paint colors. I know what I like/don’t like but not how to choose items that are stylistically cohesive. I am so glad we hired Jamie at Bella Traverse Design to help us with our remodel. We practically gutted our new house and she helped us every step of the way. She made the process so much easier because she knew our style and could focus on finding items that worked together and functioned best for our needs. We love how things are coming together! Well worth the investment.
