James Patrick Walters

I have been working with Jim Walters for years. I first went to Jim to design my living room. We went from a completely blank canvas to a simply spectacular room that is a reflection of my personal taste with the finest materials and custom furniture and accessories. Jim listens to your vision, presents you with options and literally takes care of everything. If something doesn't go right with a subcontractor (which is very very rare) Jim handles everything for you. He works with the finest craftsmen in the business. I loved what Jim did for my living room so much, I then went back to him for my family room, and finally master bath. The master is like something from a 5 star luxury hotel. Jim has helped me create my dream home. He can do the same for you. If I could give him a 10 star rating, I would. My only problem is that my home is so beautiful, I never want to leave!!

Jim Walters is an incredibly talented, creative and professional interior designer. For over 15 years, he’s helped make our home more and more beautiful both inside and out. From the very first meeting, Jim has been a pleasure to work with. He listens attentively, communicates with passion and enthusiasm and consistently brings innovative ideas to the table. Most importantly, Jim has helped turn our home into a sanctuary that we enjoy each and every day.

Jim Walters gets our highest recommendation! He listens actively to our goals for a design project, thoroughly explores options, and presents a clear budget and path for moving forward. Most important, he brings to the table his years of experience and impeccable eye for quality. We've turned to Jim time and time again, from an extensive kitchen remodel to the thorough makeover of a high-rise condo, including two full baths, and we're energized every time we enter these exciting spaces -- all thanks to Jim!

I cannot say enough about Jim and his team. He truly understood my vision and was able to bring our 1966 house into the 21st century. We totally gutted it---moved walls, reconfigured rooms, and even discovered a covered skylight, which is now the focal point of my kitchen. He designed something new for every room---from a modern stone fireplace to a waterfall inspired bathroom. A last minute decision to turn an extra bedroom into a laundry/craft room was brilliant! We also worked on the exterior with new paint, custom fence, gate and lighting. It was a big project and took time to complete, but we are now moved in and loving everything about it. It's not just a house but our home. I can only give Jim the highest of recommendations. Along with his impressive resume, he brought his great sense of humor and warm personality. He not only left his mark on our home but on our hearts as well.

I started with a new condo that had no decoration and was very very bland (all white cheap carpet, white walls, white trim, no window coverings, bad lighting, etc...). Over the course of a few months, Jim met with me and developed a detailed plan for three full rooms (master bedroom, living room, guest bedroom/office) plus additional modifications to two bathrooms to greatly enhance them. If you visit Jim's website you can get a good idea of his great eye for very tasteful color and fabrics/furntiure and just a whole sweeping look of things very well put together. Jim is patient and where we sometimes differed on choices (i preferred curtains/drapery over sun shades), Jim was able to find ways to bridge my requests with what would look great in the room and work well. I cannot give enough praise to the beautiful colors and fabrics he put together for the furniture as well as the paint colors and wallpaper choices + hardwood flooring. He is very easy to work with and very willing to look at multiple options and "go back to the drawing board" if your taste and his do not initially agree while still making sure that you don't pick crazy colors or ideas that you would later regret. He designs custom furniture which is very elegant and refined. finally, he and Bill run a well-organized small business that makes the entire experience very easy to handle so you can focus on your own work/life. They make all of the details of working with a homeowner's association and delivery rules invisible to you so you don't have to manage the details. I also appreciate that Jim uses many local small businesses/contractors in the community rather than large, impersonal companies. You can see the results in the craftsmanship and installation (flooring, painting, wallpaper, hand crafted furniture, etc...) I recommend you visit his website to see pictures of the beautiful work he has done.

I'm not sure what I expected when hiring Jim as a designer. I thought I would give him all my ideas and he would just work around them, because in my mind, there was no other way to do it. I was so wrong on so many levels. Jim always had multiple ideas on how to work an area, and they were all so creative, it was hard to pick one. He was so professional and always respectful with how I wanted the project to become. I really cannot imagine the space if it weren't designed by him and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. It was one of the most pleasant working experiences I've had.
