Entry

 Our client fell in love with the entry runner option; it’s from the same collection as her dining rug.  We’re custom sizing the runner so it provides the appropriate scale for the space.  This is a Soumak custom gallery flat weave runner.

Office

Due to the open floor plan in our client’s home, the rug used in the office will depend upon which rug she selects for her living room.

Option 1 – 8×10 Wool Flat Weave Rug

Option 2 – High End Wool carpet serged to create rug.

Option 3 – Caspian 8×10 Flat Weave Rug

Guest Bedroom

This was “love at first site” for our client.  The rug was a perfect addition to the room…no other options were necessary! This is a Lotto 9×12 Wool & Silk Rug.

Ready for the final selections for the Living Room and Office?……….

 The rich colors in the final rug for the Living Room play off the warm tones in the kitchen cabinetry. The motif has a traditional element but the lines are cleaned up giving it a more transitional feel which blends beautifully with the other furnishings in the home.

A more playful feel was desired in the Office and after much deliberation, the flowing striped rug won the race. This rug incorporates the gold tones from the Living Room which will be accented beautifully by the niche’s that will be painted a Historic Yellow complimented by custom white lacquered built-in shelving.

Stay tuned to see the Office and Living Room take transformation with additional, fabulous additions ……….

 Sparkle and Shine…

A touch of Hollywood glamour and glitz creates the right amount of drama for this modern bathroom.

 The New Soft Line…

The feminine curves on the sofa and cocktail table exude a warm and welcoming feeling in this elegant living room.

 Chic in the City…

A monochromatic color scheme is the epitome of timeless sophistication.

 Far Out Traveler…

Pile on the color, pattern and texture and you have yourself a globetrotter-infused retreat.

 Forties Glamour…

A neutral color scheme and sleek finishes provide the ideal environment for sipping a dirty martini in style.

 Tartan Army…

A bedroom fit for English royalty!

 Fetish…

The black leather studded side table evokes an edgy sensuality vibe in this posh bedroom.

 Print and Pattern…

The contemporary black and white fabric on the Louis XVI arm chair unites the two-tone color scheme in this living room.

We removed a section of cabinets that separated the kitchen from the living room in order to achieve the open-flow design our client was intent on.  A beautiful granite slab replaced the original tile countertops.  Task lighting was an issue so additional ceiling cans and under cabinet lights were added to improve the light quality throughout the space.

The taupe glass tile brings movement and pattern to the backsplash and is highlighted by the under-cabinet lighting.

The upper cabinet doors were replaced with frosted glass panels to give a more open, light feel.

The finishing touches to the renovation: a rich Benjamin Moore paint color selected for the kitchen and hallway, and a fabulous Laura Weitzner wall covering applied to the floating wall…color and texture are easy ways to bring attention to an architectural element.

In the end, the room was transformed from an ordinary kitchen to a space the client absolutely loves!!!

Our first priority for this project was to improve the scale of the furnishings within her bedroom.  One of the solutions was to select appropriate table lamps for the two nightstands and antique occasional table.

Below, are the lamp options we presented to our client:

In the end, our client selected the lamp on the left for her two nightstands.  Their appropriate scale, graceful shape and warm metal tones mix beautifully with the accent hardware on her existing case goods.

She selected the tall floral lamp for the antique occasional table.  This fanciful lamp will be a statement piece in the room and provide a delicate feminine touch to the ornate table.

Stay tuned for the room’s transformation with the installation of the three new table lamps, the refinished bed and nightstands, new bedding as well as new window treatments…

This cast bronze horse hook has an understated elegance while maintaining a light hearted presence.  This would fit in nicely into the eclectic display of hooks in the entryway below…

Simple pegs, thoughtfully placed, create an interesting composition when life’s necessities are hung neatly.

Mix it up a little…these metal deer antler coat hooks bring life and adventure to this entryway!

A coat rack allows for easy access to everyday hats and jackets. 

Maximizing space is a challenge many of us face.  These multi-hook fixtures are fabulous for an entryway or a closet!

Integrating a rack for light-weight objects into the trim is an artistic answer for this narrow entryway.

Think outside the box…simple objects from a hardware store can even become an elegant way to welcome your guests with a place to hang their hat.

We played with wallpaper on both the walls and ceiling. The walls have a subtle organic pattern with pops of red flowers. We contrasted the ceiling with a wine colored heavy textured grass cloth.

This room needed a little jewelry and this small crystal chandelier accomplishes this beautifully.

We brought in a beautiful blue granite and accented it with a Marrakesh style painted sink. The rich oil rubbed bronze tones of the faucet are complimented by the rich mahogany vanity.

BEFORE

CONCEPT

Conceptual drawings were produced to show the functional and beautiful piece of furniture that was to be built for the Client’s bar area.

STONE SELECTION

ANTIQUE MIRROR

The granite that was selected conveys movement while the appropriate tone of color added character to this custom piece.  Incorporating an antiqued mirror behind the floating shelves gives the room a sense of spaciousness in a subtle manner.

A grommet was cut into the top of the granite to accommodate an electric wine bottle opener and lights were hardwired and recessed into the hutch in order to highlight the glassware and art.  Alder wood with a custom ash finish was selected for a timeless appearance to suit the home and our Client’s taste.

The center of attention must be captivating.  Many times awareness is generated by distinct color, contrast, shape or size.  The main emphasis in a room may be a piece that doesn’t seem as though it should be part of the surroundings however fits perfectly.
