BEFORE & AFTER RENOVATIONS

Renovating, remodeling, and/or redesigning any space in your home should make the most effective use of the space, fulfill your design dreams, and increase the value of your home. These are a few examples of the difference good design can make.
Country: United States
The transformation of this kitchen began by removing the peninsula and upper cabinets to open the space and allow for a multi-functional island. The blue stained glass backsplash is accentuated by a beautiful repeating ivory pattern. Glazed maple cabinets provide warm contrast and my client's...
Atlantic Highlands Kitchen - After
Before
Outdated, dark and heavy looking, this kitchen was ready for a colorful renovation.
Atlantic Highlands Kitchen-Before
A triple pantry replaces the old countertop dining area, adding valuable storage space and a lighted display area for my client's green glass collection. Her favorite metal chairs, which add a new element to the room, are reupholstered in Sunbrella fabric.
Atlantic Highlands Kitchen - After
Before
The built-in dining countertop, used in place of a table, wastes valuable wall space next to the sliding glass door. Window treatments darken and block natural light.
Atlantic Highlands Kitchen - Before
We expanded a formerly dark, small, outdated kitchen and made it open, bright and airy. The glass doors and open plate rack of the kitchen cabinets add depth, color and geometry to the room. The door knobs and cabinet hardware are round simple forms, a detail that echoes the round table and art...
Spring Lake Kitchen - After
Before
Dark, dull and outdated, this midcentury kitchen needed a complete renovation to not only update and brighten it, but to make better use of the limited space.
Spring Lake- Kitchen- Before
The soft green opalescent tile in the shower and on the floor creates a subtle tactile geometry, in harmony with the matte white paint used on the wall and ceiling; semi gloss is used on the trim for additional subtle contrast. The sink has clean simple lines while providing much-needed accessible...
Spring Lake Bathroom - After
Before
A small bathroom in a mid-century beach house was dark, dull, and outdated, in need of a complete transformation including optimizing every inch of the small space.
Spring Lake Bathroom - Before
Pocket doors allow the multi-functional family room to become a private main floor fifth bedroom for weekend guests. Ottomans are used in lieu of a coffee table, offering extra seating as well as surface space and allowing better traffic flow.
Spring Lake - Family Room - After
Before
The narrow family room in this midcentury beach house was poorly lit, outdated and lacked good functionality.
Spring Lake- Family Room- Before
New window seats add seating and storage to the space. We added thick new moldings for architectural interest; dark hardwood floors provide additional warmth. The vintage chandelier draws color from the nearby ocean and adds a spark of color and interest.
Spring Lake - Dining Room - After
Before
This midcentury beach house dining room was outdated and dreary, lacking both style and comfort.
Spring Lake - Dining Room Before
A crisp and consistent color scheme and composition creates an airy, unified mood throughout the diminutive 13' x 13' living room. Dark hardwood floors add warmth and contrast. We added thick moldings to architecturally enhance the house.

Before
A midcentury beach house living room needed a complete renovation to update it and maximize use of its limited space.

EAST BRUNSWICK- LIVING ROOM- AFTER
Before
dated 1970's living room before
EATS BRUNSWICK LIVING ROOM- BEFORE
The alcove and walls without stone are faux finished with four successively lighter layers of plaster, allowing each of the shades to bleed through to create weathered walls and a texture in harmony with the stone. The tiles on the alcove wall are enhanced with embossed leaves, adding a subtle,...
LOCUST BASEMENT-AFTER
Before
Poor lighting added to the dreary look and feel of this basement retreat.
LOCUST BASEMENT-BEFORE
A support column doesn't have to be an eyesore! We made it useful and beautiful by adding crown molding and a shelf with LED lighting to display collectibles, then mounted a desk and phone station to one side and a TV to the other. Textured black granite in a leather-like matte finish completes the...
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO- KITCHEN- AFTER
Before
The 1980s condo kitchen area was outdated, closed in and dark, with minimal views of the ocean.
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO KITCHEN-BEFORE
A colorblocked wall in Purple Passion provides the perfect backdrop as an enhancement of the artist's own original artwork. We added coffered ceilings with recessed lighting; the interesting definition is created in the new coffered ceiling by adding additional depth with gray paint. This balances...
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO LIVING ROOM-AFTER
Before
The 1980s cookie-cutter condo was bland and outdated. The homeowners wanted it transformed into a contemporary, open floor plan.
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO LIVING ROOM-BEFORE
A once dark and enclosed narrow hallway was opened up. Soffits were added to the cement ceiling to accommodate the recessed lighting which creates a lighted path for way finding. The kitchen island in the foreground, complete with wine refrigerator and drawer microwave, was previously closed in by...
MONMOUTH BEACH- CONDO HALLWAY-AFTER
Before
Narrow and claustrophobic, this condo hallway lacked personality and proper lighting in addition to being outdated.
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO HALLWAY-BEFORE
Artistic and unique with a touch of whimsy, the pattern on these white porcelain tiles looks like pen and ink drawings. We circled the perimeter of the room with striped tiles for added dimension. Red glass pencil tile around mirror is a striking contrast, as is the dark wood vanity. The room is...
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO GUEST BATH-AFTER
Before
The standard guest bathroom in this 1980s condo was bland and didn't suit the artist homeowner, who loved color and unique details.
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO GUEST BATH- BEFORE
This elegant and edgy master bath has a high gloss Macassar Ebony finish on the cabinets, creating a strikingly dark contrast to the luxurious white and gray statuary marble walls throughout the bathroom. The patterned mosaic marble tile floor matches the tile insert of the dressing area floor just...
MONMOUTH BEACH- CONDO MASTER BATH- AFTER
Before
Plain and blase, this condo master bathroom needed better lighting and updating as well as better storage and functionality.
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO MASER BATH- BEFORE
A custom hand-knotted area rug with a pattern of squares echoes the newly-added coffered ceiling above. Recessed lighting provides additional lighting and the gray ceiling coordinates with the fabrics . The chandelier creates another focal point, with square glass beads and brass elements in...
MONMOUTH BEACH- CONDO DINING ROOM- AFETR
Before
A 1980s cookie-cutter condo dining room was in desperate need of updating. The new homeowners also wanted an open floor plan and contemporary design.
MONMOUTH BEACH CONDO DINING ROOM- BEFORE
A complete reappointment of this bathroom/bedroom suite was necessary in order to make the bathroom functional, formal, and up to date while incorporating the client's favorite colors of pink and green. The custom-designed 12 ft. wood vanity with individual sinks and mirrors along the main wall...
BASKING RIDGE MASTER BATH- AFTER
Before
Very outdated and lacking the best use of its space, this master bathroom needed a complete reappointment as well as updating.
BASKING RIDGE MASTER BATH- BEFORE
The gentleman's dressing room in this 1920s Rumson estate is designed so the man of the house can easily access his wardrobe and accessories between engagements. Its rich masculine colors and patterns combine the home's gracious Gatsby style with modern flair.
RUMSON DRESSING ROOM-AFTER
Before
This 1920s era gentleman's dressing room was in need of a complete renovation.
RUMSON DRESSING ROOM- BEFORE
The screened-in porch on this mid-century beach house was updated while remaining in sync with the rest of the neighborhood. Raising the ceiling gave the space a more open feeling and made room for ceiling fans with light boxes to illuminate balmy summer evenings. Beadboard panels on the outside...
SPRING LAKE PORCH- AFTER
Before
Outdated and unattractive, this midcentury beach house porch needed to transition guests from the midcentury neighborhood to the contemporary interior.
SPRING LAKE PORCH- BEFORE
Transitional living shines in this bright kitchen featuring a triple-duty island that functions as an eating space, prep area, and storage. Its beautifully detailed corbels are repeated in the commercial grade stove hood corners. The pattern of the 24"x24" insert over the stove is die cut into the...
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL KITCHEN- AFTER
Before
This kitchen lacked personality, proper lighting, and the appliances needed by the resident gourmet cok.
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL KITCHEN- BEFORE
The focal point of the far wall is made more important with a 24"x24" die cut patterned marble insert surrounded by pencil tile, as well as the detailed hood with fluted columns and corbels. The decorative relief is repeated over the refrigerator. Feet were added under the cooktop's drawers to...
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL KITCHEN- AFTER
Before
Cluttered and lacking personality, this area of the kitchen looked choppy and didn't make the best use of the space.
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL KITCHEN-BEFORE
The wall-mount television was positioned over the fireplace so it can also be seen from the open kitchen. We remodeled the bookcases and added recessed panel doors for a more elegant look. The leather ottoman matches the leather swivel glider, which has a wood frame and fabric cushions, matching...
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL FAMILY ROOM-AFTER
Before
Poor lighting added to the drab look of this family room which is open to the kitchen.
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL FAMILY ROOM- BEFORE
In the mud room, we built a coat rack with cubbies for backpacks, shoes and boots with a wainscoting back, painted in gray for contrast but coordinated with the powder room vanity and floor. The bench offers a perfect place to sit while taking off or putting on shoes.
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL POWDER ROOM MUD HALL-AFTER
Before
The powder room lacked originality and interest; the colors and overall appearance made the room feel claustrophobic.
LINCROFT TRANSITIONAL POWDER ROOM- BEFORE
We removed a wall that closed in the kitchen and blocked outdoor views. The rich marble backsplash over the sink has natural marble variations in a herringbone pattern, adding texture and movement. The refrigerator and dishwasher are integrated into the cabinetry with matching panels.
RED BANK CONDO KITCHEN- AFTER
Before
RED BANK CONDO KITCHEN- BEFORE
Bright white, textured wall tiles and a glass shower enclosure create a crisp, fresh new look for this once-dark and dated 5' x 7' guest bathroom. The introduction of cement floor tiles added interest and contrast.

RED BANK CONDO GUEST BATH- BEFORE
The dining section of the kitchen peninsula shields the prep area from view. New custom built-in pantries in the adjoining hallway add important storage space, and LED-lit display areas offer places to display collections, adding interest and color.
