At one time, this room was a great space for girls to play dress up, do arts and crafts, build legos and play games. Now that they are transitioning out of traditional playtime, this large room can serve another purpose. Beautiful Matouk bedding with a custom headboard in Schumacher fabric. My client was interested in … Continue reading Birds of a feather play together
This project was so much fun and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. My client wanted to make a statement in her foyer that tied into the rest of the first floor. Wallpaper is the way to add interest to any room. As travelers, this garden landscape was a reminder of places … Continue reading You had me at wallpaper…
Clients often tell me they don’t know what they want but this mother of three knew exactly what she wanted in her new kitchen. A double oven, a large refrigerator, lots of storage, and a big island with seating. Once the floor plan and cabinet design with Glenbrook Cabinetry were ironed out, we set out … Continue reading Blue Bliss
This sitting room was so much fun to decorate because it already had elements like custom wainscoting, eleven foot ceilings, and an open floor plan that helped to add interest and light to the space. The starters for this design concept were the window panels, oriental carpet, and antique hutch. Incorporating existing pieces into a … Continue reading Sitting Pretty

His process included applying thick layers of paint on each canvas and pressing them together to “cure”. Once dried he pulled them apart to reveal layers of … Continue reading Vibrant vestibule
This young family needed more space in their traditional Cape style home and going up was not in the budget so they decided to go down into their dark, completely unfinished basement. This new space, although not without challenges; electrical boxes, an old oil tank, sump pumps, HVAC, sewer pipes, and low ceilings, gave them … Continue reading Wayne Basement Renovation
From the start of this project my client had a really good idea of what she wanted. A family room where she could entertain, as well as a space for her kids to play comfortably. The sofa was the one piece of furniture that was to remain and my client was not too excited about … Continue reading Family Room Blues
This room got a major refresh when my client said "YES" to painting the walls a deep blue. Farrow and Ball's, Drawing Room Blue, added the right amount of drama to make this young family's dining room ready for entertaining. Lucite sconces over the buffet and a sleeker chandelier modernized the traditional dining room table … Continue reading Dining Room Delight
One of the things I enjoy most about my profession as an Interior Architect is being hired to reconfigure a space. This particular project was a great challenge because I was able to redesign a garage and adjacent sitting room into an in-law suite. The new dwelling had to include all necessary living spaces as … Continue reading In-Law Suite
