Boy-Girl Twins’ Shared Bedroom
This project was started when the mother of boy-girl twins decided that a redesign of their shared bedroom would help them stop sleeping with her! She also wanted a dedicated homework station, and storage for books. Since she wanted to upgrade them to…
Girl’s Dark Green Bedroom
This little girl requested “animals and plants” when I interviewed her about what she wanted in her new room. I decided to do animal-heavy wallpaper in green, to make her feel like she was living in the plants. She chose this fabulous paper, and I pulled the teals, dark greens, gold, yellow, and…
Lttle Girl’s Wonder Woman Bedroom
Boy’s Subway/Lego Room
Kids’ Playroom
NYC Family bathrooms
This family needed more bathroom space, especially in the kids’ bath, where the parents couldn’t even be in the space with their boys at the same time. The master bathroom, located behind and sharing walls with the boys’ bathroom, needed an aesthetic and functional upgrade. A shared wall was moved 2′ back (taking space away from a large bedroom), giving the kids’ bath its much needed space. We were able to…
Ridgefield, CT White & Bright Kitchen
The debate over white kitchens will never die, but I love them and in some cases, they make the most sense! Such as here- if you look at the before photos, you’ll see that in addition to a truly wonky and non-functional layout, the space was dark and uninviting. After 7+ years working in there, the clients wanted white and bright and I was thrilled to…
Chappaqua, NY Colorful Living Spaces
This young family relocated from Brooklyn, NY, to her homebase of Westchester county, NY. They bought an older house full of character, but with a color scheme a little too gray for their tastes. They described wanting the home to feel a little urban and sophisticated to represent their Brooklynness, but to also honor the house’s age and charm as well…
Girl’s Pink & Black Bedroom
When I sat down to interview the then-5-year-old inhabitant of this room, she told me in no uncertain terms that she wanted pink, black, and red. She also loved unicorns, pandas, and rainbows. The biggest challenge in this room was a huge project…
South Salem Modern Kitchen
The client for this kitchen project had a huge wish list for a small space. Besides the usual desires for more and better storage and function, she really wanted an island with seating. Aesthetically, she wanted to update the outdated looks for something more modern, clean, and bright. We tried numerous ways to get the island, and looked at taking down a wall and all the options, but ultimately most things were too out of the budget. So we ended up keeping the narrow island, but extended it an additional…
Ridgefield Black, White, & Blue House
Over the course of a couple of years, these clients and I gradually took on each first floor room of their home (minus the kitchen and baths- so far!). She had laid the gorgeous marble black-and-white checkerboard foyer floor, and painted a room off of it a deep blue. So we kept the black, white, and blue color scheme for the 2 living spaces- a family room and a music room- and the mudroom. The music room (which they actually use for music!) got a champagne, cherry-blossom textured…
Ridgefield Bath-Laundry Combo Split
This house had one bathroom on the first floor that everyone used, and besides being outdated (and leaking!) it shared one wall with a laundry room, ensuring a tight fit for both spaces and not enough storage for either! We split the room into two, taking down a few walls and rebuilding others…
