A glimpse into The Castle, restored perfectly and in honor to its historical details and charm. Those brass push button lights though…. 😍

My favorite detail was the dentil moulding on the library shelves that allows you to make them easily adjustable, no pegs and holes required. 📚

Favorite room? The conservatory and its black and white floor with marble that they’d found and shipped from Europe. Maybe in my next home…. 🤔

Seven years ago, I was dreaming of quitting my job in healthcare IT while I bingewatched @fixeruppershowhgtv on TV. I’d study the rooms that @joannagaines had created, and was awed by her ability to create these beautiful spaces. But I doubted myself. Could someone with no formal design training do that?!
Yes.
And I have to say that watching Joanna and day dreaming about doing something creative was an important part in the beginning of my journey to design.

Two years ago, I whispered to my business coach @mebydesigntv that I visioned a retail shop filled with beautiful home decor and accessories.

One year ago, I signed the lease in Sewickley for Jennifer Janeway Home, rolled up my sleeves, and promptly got to work. It was a culmination of all of my life skills to date - creative, project management, even a new IT system to implement.

Seeing #magnoliahome and the #magnoliasilos today was inspirational, to say the least, and made me feel like I am where I need to be in this world.

Bring joy and beauty into people’s homes is a gift, and today put me back to such an inspired mindset. Being surrounded with gardens, shopping, good food, and even a little cornhole on the lawn was a great beginning to Spring Break 2025. ☀️

Tomorrow, the Castle!

A fun afternoon at the Pittsburgh Golf Club seeing all of the new, lovely spring patterns (and of course, friends!) Thanks to all of the reps who make this happen for #pittsburghinteriordesigners ! 💚

All before noon! 🕛 Stopped at two of our projects that are in the construction phase right now. 🚧 Yes, things always look worse before they look better, but I can promise that these are going to be amazing!

The kitchen refresh was a project where we replaced the countertops (hello quartz backsplash 😍), tile floor, lighting and hardware,and adding soft green cabinetry to the island and butlers pantry that will set off the @cambriasurfaces Crowndale perfectly.

The primary suite is a project where we’re moving ALL of it - walls, plumbing, electrical, and building it all back up into a serene bedroom, bathroom, and luxe closet.

Keep watching for more progress updates!

Just a little flower arranging with my oldest son. 💚

Thanks to everyone that attended our Wine Tasting event last evening! We had a great time with @grapestoglass, tasting 4 different varietals from Joseph Jewell winery, and learned more about how these wines are produced!

Plus, a fun night out with friends is always a good thing to kickoff the spring season!

Sometimes people think interior designers fluff pillows all day. Not around here - we LOVE Demo Day! Ripping out the old, and bringing in the new… but all done with a PLAN!

I love the synergy of bring the team together to make our clients dreams a reality!

This primary suite is all about indulgence - where everyday living meets five-star retreat. The bedroom exudes a luxury hotel ambiance, with a statement wallcovering, upscale furnishings, and serene color palette that invites pure relaxation. The bathroom was designed as a spa sanctuary. Organic materials, luxurious steam shower, and a soothing neutral palette create the perfect setting for unwinding after a long day. It’s a place to pause, breathe, and recharge.

Every detail of this design was designed to capture the place where luxury meets comfort, and where home feels like the ultimate getaway. 🌿🕯️

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and creativity of women around the world—and I can’t help but feel incredibly proud of the powerhouse team of women behind Jennifer Janeway Home. Starting with a dream of a better expression of my own creativity and passions, this business was built from the ground up by women with a vision to help people live better by making their homes, and correspondingly their lives, more beautiful.

From concept to execution, every space we touch is a reflection of our dedication, creativity, and the belief that women can do anything. We support each other, uplift each other, and prove every single day that women belong in every industry, in every leadership role, and in every space they dream of.

To my team, my clients, and all the incredible women out there chasing their dreams—this day is for us. Let’s continue to create, inspire, and break barriers together.

My favorite thing to do on cold days like these is to come home, change into soft PJ pants, and cuddle up on the sofa with my boys and a good book.

(Although tonight we’re watching the finale episode of Beast Games, but you get the point…. 😂)

Seeing all the new fabrics from @schumacher1889 in our studio yesterday is a reminder that spring IS coming. I mean, it’s almost the end of January, we have had snow in 5 days, and these 35 degree temps feel like a heatwave! 🔥

But seriously, the new prints that @schumacher_oh_pa_in_michele brought to the shop yesterday were so cheerful and inspiring! Do you see something that catches your eye? 🙋‍♀️

We had a great time last night at our Winter Home Styling Class last night!

We demonstrated how to style a bookcase, a coffee table, and a sideboard - we always get questions about how style these spaces, so that’s how this class was born!

We also gave out a ✏️ tip sheet on how to style these spaces - if you weren’t able to make it but want the download, DM me your email address and I’ll send you a copy! 📧

A huge “thank you” to everyone who came out in the chilly weather last night! 💚 See you at the next one - releasing tomorrow!

Such a fun day on the set of @pittsburghtodaylive! On this coldest day of the year, I talked about how to create a cozy home retreat - much needed on a day like today!
A HUGE thank you to the talented hosts, @daisyjadetv and @davidhighfield, for making this look easy! 💚

When it comes to bedroom design, layering is the secret ingredient that transforms a simple space into a cozy sanctuary. 🌿✨ Tthe interplay of colors and textures is what brings depth, warmth, and personality to your space. Here’s why layering is non-negotiable when designing your dream bedroom:

🎨 Colors That Speak to You
Layering colors doesn’t just mean picking a palette—it’s about creating harmony and contrast. Start with a base tone that sets the mood, like soft neutrals for a calming vibe or deep jewel tones for a luxurious feel. Then, add pops of color with throws, pillows, and artwork to infuse life into the room. Don’t be afraid to mix cool and warm tones—they can balance each other beautifully.

🪵 Textures That Add Depth
Texture is where the magic happens. Think of a soft area rug underfoot, a chunky knit throw draped over the bed, smooth silk pillowcases, and rustic wooden accents. These layers don’t just feel amazing—they make your room visually engaging. The secret? Contrast. Pair sleek surfaces with organic, tactile materials like rattan, linen, or faux fur to create a dynamic, lived-in look.

🛏️ Functional Layers
Layering isn’t just for aesthetics—it’s functional, too. For example, layering your bedding with a mix of sheets, quilts, and throws gives you options for changing temperatures and seasons. Plus, layered lighting (overhead, bedside, and accent lights) creates an ambiance that adapts to your mood.

So, don’t be afraid to mix and match—it’s the layers that turn a bedroom from “just nice” to completely yours. Are you ready to create a space that feels as good as it looks? ✨🛋️ find out more about the process here:
