Thoughtful Design
Brenda Thompson, Owner and Principal Designer at HouseLift Design, is known for creating thoughtful, story-driven interiors that reflect her clients' lifestyles. Specializing in full-scale renovations and styling, she blends timeless charm with modern functionality. Her design approach is client-focused and intentional, as seen in a recent North Druid Hills project where her team preserved vintage character while crafting a warm, functional kitchen tailored to a busy, kosher-keeping family.

Perfect Partnership
Brenda and her team have partnered with Jeff Dauby at AjMadison on several projects, appreciating his deep product knowledge, thoughtful guidance, and commitment to getting every detail right. Jeff’s collaborative approach and understanding of both design and function made him an invaluable resource on this project.
Together, they selected Café appliances for their flexible design, strong performance, and purposeful features. Customizable finishes allowed the appliances to blend seamlessly into the overall aesthetic, while options like Sabbath Mode and a dual-zone layout met the family’s everyday needs and supported their lifestyle.

"From smart technology integration to precision cooking and user-friendly interfaces—all wrapped in a modern, style-forward package—Café appliances deliver on all fronts," Thompson shares.
“At HouseLift Design, we believe in creating homes that feel as good as they look,” Thompson says. “Because collaboration is a key aspect of that mission, our partnerships are extremely important to us. Working alongside AjMadison has been a great experience because it allows us to bring more value and confidence to our clients. And being part of the AjMadison Kitchen Design Collective is a true honor because it helps to connect us with a community of like-minded designers and gives us access to industry innovations and insights."
