For James Interior design isn’t all about trends, it’s about creating a space that his clients love living in without needing an extravagant budget. Motivated by being hands on, James prides himself on his ability to seek solutions and never be afraid to pick up a tool.

Recently James completed a personal project, where he renovated the farmhouse on his family farm - known as “Belmont Park”. From washing walls, to sanding floors James completed the project within 3 months. With the end goal being to sell the farm, he approached the project from not just an Interior Designer’s perspective, but that of a Real Estate Salesperson.

Completing this project solo, and on a shoestring budget he was overwhelmed by the response by potential buyers during the sales campaign. After just 2 inspections and being on the market for 5 days the property sold for $90,000 above the appraisal prior to the renovation.
