This VIP Design Day project transformed two key spaces in a DC-area home — a dining room and powder room — into rooms that feel both curated and livable. The dining room balances warm walnut tones, mixed seating, and bold artwork against moody gray walls and classic wainscoting, creating a space that's elegant without being precious. The powder room makes a strong first impression with floor-to-ceiling botanical wallpaper, a navy reeded vanity, Calacatta marble countertop, and antique brass fixtures layered with vintage equestrian art.

In 2011, my clients purchased a beautiful home in coastal Delaware. They made the decision to complete many of the other spaces throughout this house before focusing on their own master bedroom, which was a hodgepodge of pieces thrown together. It was now time to complete their own personal space. Designed by Shelley Rodner, Decorating Den Interiors in Ocean View, DE.

The tops in this space are sporty tops that have been organized by type, material and color. Above that are several pairs of shoes organized in a way that maximizes space and shoes both the front and back of the shoe to encourage easy decision making while building an outfit.
There are also several hand bags, purses and one pair of boots, all with filler and straighteners to maintain their shape.
In the very front is a triangular scarf rack.

At the beginning of the project, the sunroom was drawn to be a screened in porch, however, throughout building the homeowners made the decision to change it into a part of the interior so that it could be enjoyed year long. The vaulted ceiling above the dining and sunroom were finished with pine tongue and groove boards. Birchwood flooring pulls the eye from the entryway towards the back of the house, right towards the main focal point of the home, the lake.

This newly built custom residence turned out to be spectacular. With Interiors by Popov’s magic touch, it has become a real family home that is comfortable for the grownups, safe for the kids and friendly to the little dogs that now occupy this space.The start of construction was a bumpy road for the homeowners. After the house was framed, our clients found themselves paralyzed with the million and one decisions that had to be made. Decisions about plumbing, electrical, millwork, hardware and exterior left them drained and overwhelmed. The couple needed help. It was at this point that they were referred to us by a friend.We immediately went about systematizing the selection and design process, which allowed us to streamline decision making and stay ahead of construction.
We designed every detail in this house. And when I say every detail, I mean it. We designed lighting, plumbing, millwork, hard surfaces, exterior, kitchen, bathrooms, fireplace and so much more. After the construction-related items were addressed, we moved to furniture, rugs, lamps, art, accessories, bedding and so on.
The result of our systematic approach and design vision was a client head over heels in love with their new home. The positive feedback we received from this homeowner was immensely gratifying. They said the only thing that they regret was not hiring Interiors by Popov sooner!

Rustic Red Cedar Steel Log House in Vernon, AZ. The Home Owners loved the idea of a rustic, log cabin but didn't want the maintenance of a real log home. They decided to go with TruLog's Steel Siding for the authentic log look while keeping it completely maintenance-free. They couldn't be happier with their decision!

This kitchen took a tired, 80’s builder kitchen and revamped it into a personalized gathering space for our wonderful client. The existing space was split up by the dated configuration of eat-in kitchen table area to one side and cramped workspace on the other. It didn’t just under-serve our client’s needs; it flat out discouraged them from using the space. Our client desired an open kitchen with a central gathering space where family and friends could connect. To open things up, we removed the half wall separating the kitchen from the dining room and the wall that blocked sight lines to the family room and created a narrow hallway to the kitchen. The old oak cabinets weren't maximizing storage and were dated and dark. We used Waypoint Living Spaces cabinets in linen white to brighten up the room. On the east wall, we created a hutch-like stack that features an appliance garage that keeps often used countertop appliance on hand but out of sight. The hutch also acts as a transition from the cooking zone to the coffee and wine area. We eliminated the north window that looked onto the entry walkway and activated this wall as storage with refrigerator enclosure and pantry. We opted to leave the east window as-is and incorporated it into the new kitchen layout by creating a window well for growing plants and herbs. The countertops are Pental Quartz in Carrara. The sleek cabinet hardware is from our friends at Amerock in a gorgeous satin champagne bronze. One of the most striking features in the space is the pattern encaustic tile from Tile Shop. The pop of blue in the backsplash adds personality and contrast to the champagne accents. The reclaimed wood cladding surrounding the large east-facing window introduces a quintessential Colorado vibe, and the natural texture balances the crisp white cabinetry and geometric patterned tile. Minimalist modern lighting fixtures from Mitzi by Hudson Valley Lighting provide task lighting over the sink and at the wine/ coffee station. The visual lightness of the sink pendants maintains the openness and visual connection between the kitchen and dining room. Together the elements make for a sophisticated yet casual vibe-- a comfortable chic kitchen. We love the way this space turned out and are so happy that our clients now have such a bright and welcoming gathering space as the heart of their home!

Distinctive sage green tones give a pop of color along with a delicate sparkle.

White kitchens are tres chic. Bright, clean, and do not require a lot of stressful color decisions when it comes to decorating. Classy and definitely not boring.

When this homeowner remodeled and added onto their existing home, they moved in with mom. It was a project that took several months. Lots of decision to make and so many options. With small children in the home, they specifically wanted virtually maintenance-free countertops. But what product and what design. Learning that Cambria was made in their home state of Minnesota, the product decision was easy. Not able to zero in on just one design for their whole home, they opted to use several designs beginning with Cambria Galloway quartz on the combination kitchen island that include wood and quartz; accented by Cambria Canongate on the perimeter cabinets. In the family room you'll find a large u-shaped wet bar with Cambria Sheffield countertops. If you wander the basement for some entertainment, you'll find a wine cellar with Cambria Blackwood and the master bathroom vanity showcases Cambria Darlington.

This couple's decision to prepare for future wheelchair accessibility was inspired by a design based in their love of years living in Africa. We started with beautiful stone, ceramic and wood in mind and developed a plan that not only gave them freedom and peace of mind, but allowed them to recall a place dear to them.

The decision was made to limit the upper cabinetry so the space would feel light and airy, with the windows and water as the focal points. All the appliances were paneled for a seamless line, with the microwave and dishwasher hidden in the island.

These clients came to us with a dramatic problem: They had stopped entertaining because they were not happy about their outdated kitchen. They were looking for guidance to make the decision to either do everything they dreamed of to make the space fit for entertaining, or simply perform a minor update with the intent to move in a few years. Helping these clients get excited about entertaining again was a fun challenge
