Hello there! Here is a little about me, my crazy life and how I design!
My name is Jessie Jilleen, a world traveling adrenaline junkie with a soul for art. I am thrilled to share my journey with you. For the past 15 years, I’ve immersed myself in the world of design, where I’ve combined my passion for creativity with my incredibly big love for transforming spaces while saving vintage timeless pieces.
Based in sunny North East Florida, where is was born and raised, my design studio is always creating new things. No really, I could spend all day in the shop creating art! I am a dual citizen to the US and Sweden, so my love for art has come from all over the world in my travels. With my Great Grandmother being Julia Hultgren, an amazing world-renowned clothing designer, my love of art runs in my bloodline, I get it honest. In my travels of many countries and meeting many many people, I have stopped to listen, take in the all the amazing stories form locals, and view the landscapes to help create and fuel my designs. I want every design to have a story, vibe, soulful feel, and be one of a kind! Every piece deserves a story.
I find constant inspiration from the vibrant colors and beautiful landscapes that surround me and in my travels. Throughout my career, I have been refurbishing furniture and creating custom painted pieces that not only breathe new life into tired items but also enhance the overall aesthetic of any home or space. I believe that furniture isn’t just functional; it tells a story and adds character to our living environments. My approach to home decor emphasizes the importance of personalization and feeling the vibe of the pieces, and I enjoy working closely with my clients to understand their visions and preferences.
My journey began with a simple desire to make my own living space more inviting and aesthetically pleasing, while pouring my love for art into the design. Before long, friends and family started asking for my help in revamping their spaces. This sparked a long time passion that has since flourished into a professional venture, allowing me to transform countless pieces of furniture and spaces for others.
Whether it’s a vintage dresser that needs a modern touch or piece you own that needs a new vibe, I relish the challenge of turning the old into something extraordinary. My creative process involves not just an eye for design, but also a commitment to quality craftsmanship. I meticulously select paints and finishes that not only match the feel of the design, but also stand the test of time. The joy I feel when I see a client’s reaction to their newly revamped space is truly indescribable. Each project is a one of a kind, and my goal is to ensure that the finished product reflects the unique personality of the design.
In addition to refurbishing and painting furniture, I also provide consultations on commission designs. I love helping clients curate a cohesive and harmonious look for their spaces that resonates with their tastes and lifestyles. From selecting the perfect color palette to choosing the right hardware, I thrive on bringing a vision to life.
I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve had in this field, and I continue to pursue my passion with enthusiasm and quality. With every brush stroke and design decision, I aim to make the world a more beautiful place one piece of furniture or design at a time!
I look forward to connecting with more individuals who are looking to transform a space into havens of creativity and comfort. I hope you find a piece that speaks to you and I can’t wait to embark on this exciting journey of home decor with you!
Love JJ!
