About Reinventing Space and Julea JosephA bit about Julea . . .
Serving clients in the Chicago area now since 2000, Julea started her business in San Francisco, after years in the software industry as a trainer and consultant. Julea's design philosophy is - "Use existing furnishings, family treasures, and recent finds - pull them all together with a great interior arrangement, a magnificent color palette, a new piece or two and a bit of the unexpected." Initially an interior arrangement & home staging business, Reinventing Space has grown, and now offers more traditional design services, but always with a custom twist. These custom offerings create a perfect mix for her clients, making client's homes rich with personality and distinctive, without breaking the bank.
Julea has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Psychology from Bradley University, with a minor in Fine Arts. Mix together specialty training from the Interior Arrangement and Design Association, and her unique ability to create interiors by treasuring the past, infusing new pieces, and blending a touch of traditional design - she makes a perfect recipe for a beautiful home.
