Weekends at Walloon Lake are all about open windows and lake breezes! A screened porch designed to feel like part of the landscape: rugged, relaxed, and made for gathering after a day on the water.

25 years of talent, dedication, and timeless design.

This month, we are celebrating Senior Designer Rachel Hartung and an incredible milestone: 25 years with Jones-Keena & Co. What began as a college internship has grown into a remarkable career filled with beautiful projects, treasured client relationships, and lasting contributions to our firm.

Over the years, Rachel has contributed to projects throughout Michigan and beyond, including homes in New York and South Carolina. Her work has been featured in publications including Traditional Home, Detroit Design, Great Lakes By Design, and Michigan Blue.

Rachel’s design philosophy reflects what has always defined great interiors: livable elegance. While design trends have evolved over the past 25 years, she believes timeless elements never go out of style - white kitchens, crisp white trim, classic details, and thoughtfully layered spaces designed for real everyday living.

When asked what keeps her inspired after all these years, Rachel shared that seeing happy clients and building meaningful relationships continues to be the most rewarding part of her work. She also credits the flexibility and support of J-K for helping her navigate life’s many chapters, including marriage and raising three children while building an accomplished design career.

And while install days are rarely chaotic, there was the unforgettable moment when she nearly fell off a client’s yacht boarding on a particularly windy day.

Rachel’s advice to young designers just starting out: “Soak it up, take notes, stay organized. Design is hard work, it is not always glamorous.”

Rachel, thank you for your creativity, professionalism, loyalty, and the countless beautiful homes you have helped create over the last 25 years. We are so grateful to celebrate this milestone with you.

A built-in second-floor reading nook transforms an ordinary hallway into a charming destination of its own. Layered with warm textures and tailored details, it’s the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. Thoughtful touches like this are what make a home feel truly special.

Throwing it back to this Birmingham Tudor renovation—where classic architecture meets a fresh, livable point of view. From the layered living room to that perfect corner chair moment… and of course, the sweetest final touch: a very content pup making himself at home. 📸's:
