Blue Streak Interior Design

Cookie cutter is boring.

Your home should reflect your personality and respect how you want to feel there.  Your place of ​business should align with the products or services you present.  Your spaces should be ​comfortable and the materials should balance quality and budget, with interesting details that ​reward close attention.

We might nudge you to the edge of your comfort zone.

Blue Streak brings enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and a discerning eye to your project.   You bring an ​appreciation for quality design.

About the designer:
Josepha Rood

I should have known when I chose bicentennial toile curtains from the JC Penney catalog for my bedroom at 8 years old that I wanted to be ​an interior designer… and later, when I should have been doing masters’ homework but instead I was shopping for cabinet pulls until 3am?  ​That should have been a clue.  But I studied History and Information Management, and I worked in IT for a long time.

Then a few years ago, we did an extensive interior and exterior remodel of our home; after nearly a year, I wasn’t ready for it to end, and ​that’s when I began to suspect full-time interior design was my calling.  I quit my job to try it out with an expert designer… and then I knew ​for sure.  So I started Blue Streak Interior Design and went back to school.

While that may sound like a zigzag of a career path, there is a through-line of helping people figure out what they want and need, bringing ​teams together, being conscientious about communication and delivering on promises.

And now I’m thrilled to help people imagine what can be - to feel truly connected and happy in their homes and businesses every day.

  • Residential and light commercial projects, especially vacation homes and short-term rentals - any project where I can develop a unique mix of materials, fixtures, patterns, textures and colors to express a client’s style.

  • I love so many things!  The blessing & curse of being a designer is feeling like you can make (almost) anything work.  But my own style tends toward clean lines with global influences:  Delft tiles from my Dutch heritage, Balinese wood carvings from an anniversary trip, moody colors of the Pacific Northwest and anything Italian.

  • Yes! I do have experience with remote work, and will consider it on a case-by-case basis.

  • Bali, Cambodia, Italy, Iceland, tropical islands, fabulous hotels, the sparkly sandals department, the High Line in NYC, anything Chihuly

  • Mom, wife, friend, dog person, cat person, Texas Longhorn, real estate voyeur. My love languages are cooking, baking and finding just the right gift. I love exploring a new city on foot, and I don’t mind seeing a movie or dining out alone. I love a quiet house early in the morning, when I can read and wake up slowly.
