Julie Kenney

Owner and Designer

As an Inspired Closets owner/designer, Julie is always looking to create solutions for making the most out of any space. She has been awarded the honorary title of “spatial engineer” because she can fit more into any space (car, closet, etc.) than anyone else in the family. Using this same ability to see how things fit together in both custom homebuilding and closet/storage design, she makes sure that her projects are beautiful and functional. Julie serves on the board of directors for the HBA of Metro Mobile and is on the Showcase home designer team each year. She enjoys planning vacations with her family, spending time with Steve and their 3 sons, decorating, reading, and singing. She also keeps the Hershey kisses jars full.

She and her husband have 3 girls and she enjoys gardening, reading, sewing, and spending time with her family.

“Truly professional group of people from start to finish! The only vendor we have done business with in Mobile that HASN’T over promised and under delivered. NO pressure gallery, free in home consultation, AND installation on promised date…which is apparently rare in the remodel business!! They even referred us a contractor to fix the bubbles in our master bedroom carpet. The pictures don’t give justices to the finished product- and when we are ready to sell our home we know YOUR custom closet design will be an amazing selling tool!! “
