Macy Lane Designs

Six years ago, Macy Lane Designs was little more than a dream, a lot of determination, and a deep belief that great design has the power to change how people live in their homes.

Today, we're incredibly honored to be recognized by the Phoenix Business Journal as one of Phoenix's Top Design Firms.

As a small business owner, milestones like this mean so much because they're really a reflection of the amazing clients, talented trades, vendor partners, and community who have trusted us along the way. We never take that trust for granted.

While the Detroit area will always be our first home, we're equally grateful to continue growing our presence in Phoenix, helping homeowners in both markets create homes that are beautiful, functional, and uniquely their own.

To everyone who has welcomed us into your home, referred a friend, shared our work, or cheered us on over the past six years, thank you. This recognition belongs to all of you, too.

Here's to what's next. We can't wait to see what the next six years bring. 🤍

People often ask where the name Macy Lane Designs came from. Today, on the 18th anniversary of rescuing this sweet little girl from a backyard breeder, it feels like the perfect time to share the story.

Meet Macy Doolittle Wright. She was my very first dog, my soul dog, and the sweetest little schnauzer a girl could ever hope for.

No matter what kind of day we'd had, Macy greeted us with pure joy every time we walked through the door. She made our house feel like home.

That feeling has stayed with me all these years, and it's exactly what I hope to create for every client. Beautiful homes are important, but the real goal is creating spaces that make you exhale, feel at peace, and genuinely love walking through your front door.

Macy crossed the Rainbow Bridge about three months before I launched my business. When it came time to choose a name, I couldn't think of a more meaningful way to honor the little dog who brought so much love, comfort, and happiness into my life.

So every time you hear the name Macy Lane Designs, you're hearing a little piece of her story.

If you're a dog lover, you understand. ❤️🐾

Imagine spending 2.5 million dollars on a house, only to move in and realize the builder or the contractor could have done things so much better!

Take a look at these two kitchens...

One has cabinets that stop short of the ceiling, a.k.a. - a major dust ledge; outlets cutting through the beautiful slab backsplash; no pendant lighting; hardware that disappears; trim molding that does not match the cabinets; boring drywall on the vent hood, and drywall on the back of the island that's destined to be covered in scuff marks from kids' shoes.

The other was thoughtfully designed from the beginning.
This isn't about criticizing builders or contractors. They have a lot to manage! It's about showing how much better a home can function and feel when a designer is involved before construction begins.

The details matter. And they're often the difference between a house you like and a home you absolutely love.

For those of you who are new here, I thought I'd reintroduce myself!

I'm Jackie, founder and lead designer of Macy Lane Designs.

Before becoming an interior designer, I owned a PR agency, but design has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I've been obsessed with homes, furnishings, and renovations since I was a kid, and for the last 6 years I've been remodeling, decorating, and helping homeowners create spaces they truly love.

Today, I work with clients throughout Metro Detroit & Metro-Phoenix, helping them navigate renovations, furnishings, and all the details that turn a house into a home.

Thanks for following along. I'm so glad you're here!

The holidays may feel far away, but if you're hoping to remodel before guests start arriving, now is the time to start planning.

The best remodeling projects don't happen by accident. They happen with a solid plan, the right team, and enough time to make thoughtful decisions.

Want to enjoy an updated home this holiday season instead of living through construction? Let's start the conversation today.

✨ FIX IT FRIDAY ✨

Welcome to our new series, Fix It Friday, where we help homeowners transform underutilized spaces into rooms they actually love and use.

This forgotten room had plenty of potential but no real purpose. Our solution? A functional and beautiful home office designed for a busy husband and wife who occasionally work from home. The result is a space that feels polished, productive, and perfectly tailored to their lifestyle.

Do you have a room in your home that's become a catch-all space, sits empty, or just isn't working for your family's needs?

Send a few photos to [email protected] and tell us about the challenge. We may feature your space in an upcoming Fix It Friday transformation!

💭 Let's have some fun...

When you hear the words "interior designer," what do you think they charge for a remodeling project?

I'm genuinely curious because the answers are often all over the map. Some people think it's a few hundred dollars. Others assume it's tens of thousands.

So tell me...

👇 Without Googling it, what do you think the average design fee is for a kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home remodeling project?

There are no wrong answers. I promise I won't judge. 😄

I'm just curious to see what homeowners actually think before they start planning a project.

New Primary Bath coming in 🔥

Not all luxe spaces have to be large. We're in the process of a full-gut renovation on this townhouse in Tempe, AZ, and this is a little hint of what we are working on. Stay tuned and watch how this house transforms into a stunning retreat for two busy professionals.

Sundays are for lounging on a ridiculously comfy sofa, catching up on some reading, or maybe binging your favorite TV show.

What are you up to today?
