What was once a window is now a doorway leading to the new back deck. To avoid losing natural light, we chose a time-appropriate glass-paneled door that feels true to the home’s era while brightening the space. Inside, we also widened the opening between the kitchen and dining room to create a stronger connection and improve circulation between the two spaces.

Our client came to us with the idea of renovating some of the rooms for their three growing children, twin boys and a girl, in this apartment on Riverside Drive with breath-taking views of the Hudson River. The original bedrooms were crowded with built-in pieces and the boys used to share one room. As their needs are changing as they grow, our clients wanted to renovate their childish bedrooms and give them new bedrooms for each one of them that would still feel ‘updated’ and ‘grown up’ for many more years to come. A previously room used as a Den, was transformed into a bedroom for one of the boys, while the other one kept the original bedroom. Both spaces have similar materials and fabrics, but each has a color scheme that was developed from the kids’ favorite colors, the built-in desk, shelving and platform bed in dark mahogany gives the rooms a more masculine and grown up feel. The girl’s room was a very small and odd space with angled walls; to make the room more square and symmetrical, a new desk with shelves, built-in closet, night-stand and platform bed were installed around the perimeter of the room. This layout allowed for additional space for a reading chair, floor lamp and side table. The color palette for this bedroom was also based on the girl’s favorite colors: purple and green, which were wisely used over a background of cream color used throughout the cabinetry and carpet to avoid feeling overwhelming in the small space. Most of the vertical surfaces in all three rooms were covered in a tackable material so they could display posters and school work, yet the textile wall covering gives the walls a very elegant feel when the posters come off.

COMBINING EDIBLES AND ORNAMENTALS IN CONTAINERS: In a semi-sunny part of the balcony, amaryllis, agapanthus and fern (all of which are overwintered inside) bask in the morning and afternoon sunshine, avoiding the noonday sun. Further south, in a sunnier part of the balcony (extreme L), various types of cherry tomatoes enjoy the all-day sunshine.

We chose a show stopper for the counter top on the main island since it was a focal point when you entered the space. A less expensive granite was used for the adjoining counter top. Recessed lighting was installed in the reclaimed beams to give a streamlined look and avoid track lighting.
