We created a welcoming and functional home in Tribeca for our client and their 4 children. Our goal for this home was to design and style the apartment to 1/ Maintaining the original elements, 2/ Integrate the style of a downtown loft and 3/ Ensure it functioned like a suburban home. All of their existing and new furniture, fixtures and furnishings were thoughtfully thought out. We worked closely with the family to create a cohesive mixture of high end and custom furnishings coupled with retail finds. Many art pieces were curated to create an interesting and cheerful gallery. It was essential to find the balance of casual elements and elegant features to design a space where our clients could enjoy everyday life and frequent entertaining of extended family and friends.

Sleek, contemporary master bath in old Irving park neighborhood in Chicago. We tore out an enormous alcove tub to upgrade to a walk in shower with an open doorless entry incorporating a natural teak wood base. We tiled all walls with a 4 x 16 stacked white ceramic which is balanced by the warmer wood tones. Designer: Amy Wettersten Photographer: Vadim Gurevich

This inviting family room was designed to feel comfortable, colorful and family friendly. A custom green sectional offers plenty of seating around the stone fireplace. The bookcases display meaningful decor and hidden storage underneath. To elevate the room, we incorporated brass accents through the table lamps and large scale mirrors . This room is comfortable enough for family time and refined enough for entertaining.

This project was a ton of fun. I have been working with these clients, now dear friends, for several years on their various properties and we work really well together. For their desert home, my goal was to create a new experience with each space while maintaining flow. This required striking a balance between organic light/airy spaces and glam dark/moody spaces. The finishes specified ranged from blackened steel, walnut, polished brass, rubbed plaster, digital wallcovering and back lit quartz to name a few. When a space draws you in closer to investigate there is a moment of discovery that elicits an emotional response. These spaces do just that. From sublime light fixtures to cozy seating vignettes, this home is a beautiful sanctuary - a place to entertain friends and family both indoors and out. It is a poised exercise in effortless, relaxed, edgy luxe design.

This project started out as a brand new Great Room addition. The design started with the sectional couch and quickly moved to the rug; the focal points of the space. Both are kid friendly yet bring a laid back California sophistication to the room; perfect for both everyday living and entertaining guests. With lots of privacy outside, we decided to forgo any drapery, and as such, the space exudes freshness and openness. Experimenting with different textures, poofs and lamps add a level of warmth to balance out and add depth to the Southern California coolness. With a focus on a welcoming aesthetic, this mini oasis reflects the family's unique style while prioritizing comfort and practicality.

This guest bathroom blends classic elegance with a fresh, coastal-inspired palette. A frameless glass shower door keeps the space feeling open and airy, allowing the intricate blue and white floor tile to take center stage. Brass plumbing fixtures add warmth and a timeless touch, complementing the crisp white walls and subtle textures throughout. Designed for both beauty and function, this inviting retreat offers a perfect balance of sophistication and serenity—where every detail feels effortlessly refined.

Layered plantings, river rock borders, and a split-rail fence frame the lush lawn, creating a balanced blend of structure, softness, and open views.

Embarking on a garage remodeling project is a transformative endeavor that can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of the space. By investing in tailored storage solutions such as cabinets, wall-mounted organizers, and overhead racks, one can efficiently declutter the area and create a more organized storage system. Flooring upgrades, such as epoxy coatings or durable tiles, not only improve the garage's appearance but also provide a resilient surface. Adding custom workbenches or tool storage solutions contributes to a more efficient and user-friendly workspace. Additionally, incorporating proper lighting and ventilation ensures a well-lit and comfortable environment. A remodeled garage not only increases property value but also opens up possibilities for alternative uses, such as a home gym, workshop, or hobby space, making it a worthwhile investment for both practicality and lifestyle improvement.

Kitchen Remodel highlights a spectacular mix of finishes bringing this transitional kitchen to life. A balance of wood and painted cabinetry for this Millennial Couple offers their family a kitchen that they can share with friends and family. The clients were certain what they wanted in their new kitchen, they choose Dacor appliances and specially wanted a refrigerator with furniture paneled doors. The only company that would create these refrigerator doors are a full eclipse style without a center bar was a custom cabinet company Ovation Cabinetry. The client had a clear vision about the finishes including the rich taupe painted cabinets which blend perfect with the glam backsplash.
