Design….it should ALWAYS be fun…..

Looking back on 2014 I have to say that I am most proud of how

my design business has evolved and grown, and by that, I really

mean how I have evolved and grown in my design business.

When I began this adventure in 2012, I really just dove in….

if you were one of those first clients, God bless you.

While I am proud of ALL my work, what I know for sure,

is that my work has only gotten better, along with the confidence

and perspective I bring to each design job.

While I am far from perfect and still have miles and miles to

go……I am having a BLAST on this journey.

I love working with people on creating their homes…

It is both an honor and a blessing.

For 2015 I plan on doing much the same, only MORE and bigger!

I have found a niche, working with families who may or may not

have considered hiring an interior designer, who want candid advice 

and counsel but perhaps want to do some of the 'leg-work' themselves

so they can spend more of their budget on furnishings versus a 

designer.  I will provide guidance, choices, alternatives, the best 

neutral paint color, workroom services, bookshelf styling, 

gallery wall creating, affirmation and hopefully loads of creativity.

I created the design board above after being inspired to do so after

seeing Ikea's newest sofa/chair offerings - an English roll arm, one 

of my favorites!  I designed this room to show a traditional sofa

doesn't always have to be styled traditionally!  I love the mix

of traditional and more trendy items - all at very affordable prices -

proving good design is accessible for everyone!

If you are a local Portland client, THANK YOU for your 

confidence, friendship and trust…..you are helping me live

my dream doing something I love.  

If you are local and thinking about 'zhushing' a room in your home

and would like to schedule a 2015 consult, please send me an

email jill.hinsondesigns@gmail.com.

And those of you who live here there and everywhere -

eDesign can work really well for you!  I think I have

worked with over 40 e-clients this year - and though we 

never meet in person, I always feel like when we reach our goal, I have

gained a new friend.  And I love when you follow up and send

me photos of the space we created together!
