Bespoke Design, Turnkey Installation
In the exclusive Bachelor Gulch neighborhood of Beaver Creek Resort, Jamaica Jones partnered with Reed Design Group to bring a 9,598 sq. ft., three-story luxury residence to life. Her work extended beyond furniture design, overseeing a complete turnkey installation to ensure the home was fully furnished, stocked, and move-in ready.
Pre-Construction Phase
A guest bedroom during the early stages of construction at the Bachelor Gulch residence. Captured before finishes, paint, and carpeting were added, the image shows electrical rough-in and the pony wall awaiting its walnut façade and structural supports for the custom floating nightstands and bed frame designed and fabricated under Jamaica’s direction.
Nightstand in Progress
A custom walnut floating nightstand in fabrication, featuring a precision-gliding drawer and inset glass top. The piece was designed to incorporate future leather upholstery details, blending material richness with functional craftsmanship.
Finished Floating Nightstand
The completed walnut nightstand features a green shagreen leather–upholstered drawer face, a leather panel beneath the glass top, and a bespoke drawer pull. The combination of fine walnut grain, textured faux stingray leather, and tailored detailing reflects Jamaica’s dedication to material harmony and refined craftsmanship.
Room Finishing Stage

The visualization established final dimensions, proportions, and material specifications, including inset leather panels framed in walnut, ensuring alignment between the designer’s concept and fabrication execution.
Bed Approval and Quality Check
The custom walnut and leather bed assembled in the fabricator’s shop for review prior to installation. This quality check allowed Jamaica to confirm craftsmanship, finish consistency, and precise alignment with the design specifications before delivery to the residence for final installation.
Guest Bedroom Rendering
A SketchUp rendering illustrating the design intent for a custom platform bed with wall-mounted fabric cushions, suspended from a rod by leather tabs. Created to coordinate with wall-mounted nightstands, the visualization ensured precise alignment of dimensions, materials, and mounting details prior to production.
Entry Alcove Preparation
On-site evaluation of the entryway alcove prior to fabrication of a custom upholstered bench. The design called for a hair-on-hide leather seat, recessed lighting below, sconces above, and wood paneling behind. Jamaica conducted field measurements and site coordination to ensure the bench would integrate seamlessly with the architectural details and lighting layout.
Entry Bench Installation
Entryway bench installed in its alcove with finished sconces mounted above, awaiting the addition of recessed LED lighting beneath. The custom-built bench will be upholstered in hair-on-hide leather, completing the layered design of wood paneling, lighting, and texture that defines the residence’s welcoming entry composition.
Ski Room Construction
Early construction phase of the ski-in/ski-out mudroom at the Bachelor Gulch residence, captured during framing with insulation in place. This space was designed to include a custom floating leather bench as its centerpiece. Jamaica oversaw measurements, coordination, and design integration to ensure the bench would align perfectly within the finished layout once drywall and finishes were complete.
Sofa Framework Construction
The initial framework of the custom L-shaped sofa designed for the golf simulator lounge at the Bachelor Gulch residence. Built from kiln-dried alder hardwood with double-doweled joinery, the frame was fabricated to precise dimensions to fit within the sunken living area beneath a future built-in bar.
Design Coordination Rendering
A SketchUp rendering created by Jamaica to confirm design intent, dimensions, and construction details for the golf simulator sofa. The visualization guided both the upholstery and millwork teams, ensuring seamless integration between the lower lounge seating and the overhead bar structure.
Upholstery Detailing in Progress
