Seven feet tall and 50 inches in diameter, the chandelier of all chandeliers found a home in my client's family room yesterday. Although quite an undertaking to install, the size of the chandy was perfect for the 21' ceiling space. We needed something that wouldn't get lost, yet also be functional as a light fixture. [...]

I have three projects right now with one thing in common – all three clients want me to specify a color for their laundry room that's fun and energizing. Could it be that doing laundry is not "fun" enough?           It seems like laundry is that one task that we can [...]

It's been a little crazy in our household for the past week. We're fostering 5 kittens and their mother. It feels like I have a newborn or should I say several newborns all over again. With feedings every 3 hours and lasting about an hour each time, it does bring back memories! I'll have to [...]

Happy Friday everyone!  I wanted to let you in on a sneak peek of some furniture Andie Smarrelli of BoJams Studio recently refinished for one of my projects.  As usual, Andie outdid herself!  You would not recognize these pieces as their former selves.  We took my client’s nightstand and dresser from when she was a [...]

I just finished up this design board for a client's dining room this week. We needed to combine mid-century, contemporary and vintage elements…hmmm. Striking a balance between these three styles definitely has created a challenge. In the true sense of eclectic style, the goal is to make the room feel "collected" yet every piece needs [...]

We recently finished up with our clients' gorgeous master bedroom and guest bedrooms and putting the finishing touches on their upper landing area. It's now time to move on to their daughter's room. Her daughter is now a sophomore in college and is yearning for a room that speaks more to her style (more vintage [...]

I love making something old "new" again. That's probably why I'm so attracted to repainting and repurposing furniture. So much of the furniture today is not made with the same quality or detail that you'd find in older pieces. It just seems like the furniture of our grandparents day had more personality plus there usually [...]

I posted last week about my client's fireplace and replacing their mantel. It made such a HUGE difference in this space and really allowed their fireplace to feel a part of this space again. To see that post, click here.  We're continuing to add finishing touches to their family room. As they say, the difference [...]

Sometimes it's the smallest touches that make the biggest impact. That is so true for this one space I'm working on. My clients have a very contemporary style but their home architecturally has very traditional influences so the trick or should I say challenge is to seamlessly bring both styles together so it flows without [...]

Selecting artwork for clients is often a challenge because it is so personal and I strongly feel is something the client really needs to feel connected to. It entails finding something that decoratively works in the space while at the same time somehow speaks to the client. I spent yesterday looking for artwork for my [...]
