This was a truly unique project to work on and the clients are beyond happy.

This bathroom used to be extremely dated, with dark wallpaper and a mirrored wall, it was in desperate need of an update! Now, this space has a clean, modern feel that fits with the rest of the home. The toilet is in a small, separate room connected to this portion of the bathroom to help mornings flow smoothly without sacrificing privacy when nature calls. Our clients also opted for 2 separate vanities to allow plenty of space when preparing for the day.

Background/description: The house was built in 1908, my clients are only the 3rd owners of the house. The prior owner lived there from 1940s until she died at age of 98! The old home had loads of character and charm but was in pretty bad condition and desperately needed updates. The clients purchased the home a few years ago and did some work before they moved in (roof, HVAC, electrical) but decided to live in the house for a 6 months or so before embarking on the next renovation phase. I had worked with the clients previously on the wife's office space and a few projects in a previous home including the nursery design for their first child so they reached out when they were ready to start thinking about the interior renovations. The goal was to respect and enhance the historic architecture of the home but make the spaces more functional for this couple with two small kids. Clients were open to color and some more bold/unexpected design choices. The design style is updated traditional with some eclectic elements. An early design decision was to incorporate a dark colored french range which would be the focal point of the kitchen and to do dark high gloss lacquered cabinets in the adjacent coffee bar, and we ultimately went with dark green.

This is the second home on this street that we have had the pleasure of modernizing. This home still had the original kitchen, bath and floor-plan and was in desperate need of an update. The homeowners worked with Susan Yeley Interiors to come up with a design that was fresh, while maintaining the integrity of the original design of the home. This remodel included opening up the kitchen into the adjacent spaces, reconfiguring all of the bathrooms and laundry room, and replacing all of the flooring in the home. We are so pleased with how it all came together!

This 1950s ranch was in desperate need of an overhaul! We worked with this family to brighten the entire space, create a 2nd full bathroom, and make the whole house more functional for 21st century living.

Behind this gorgeous walnut face, every inch of this vanity is packed with customer-specific storage. This small bath was in desperate need of organizational storage and we were able to check every box on our customer’s wish list. Hidden toe kick drawers and double-duty drawer fronts hide extra storage yet maintain elegant simplicity.

This compact, urban backyard was in desperate need of privacy. We created a series of outdoor rooms, privacy screens, and lush plantings all with an Asian-inspired design sense. Elements include a covered outdoor lounge room, sun decks, rock gardens, shade garden, evergreen plant screens, and raised boardwalk to connect the various outdoor spaces. The finished space feels like a true backyard oasis.

This family's home was 26 years old and the master bathroom was in desperate need of a makeover. A leak in the skylight motivated our client to give us a call to get the ball rolling. In addition to repairing the leak, their goals were to create a large shower stall, add radiant floor heating, improve storage around the his and her vanity, and improve the overall aesthetics of the room.

At Boston St. our customer contacted us after settling on a Canton waterfront home with great views, but in desperate need of a renovation. We were hired to design and renovate her 6 story split level, with the addition of a 7th level loft. The original builder designed the layout with a mechanical space in the middle of the floor-plan. This made it challenging, but not impossible, to achieve the main level open concept our customer dreamed of. Our customer had a clear vision of how she wanted the home to look, feel, and function. Through careful planning we developed a space consistent with this vision from top to bottom.

One of our more unique remodels, this original space was desperately in need of a update. Dark colors and outdated finishes made the kitchen feel closed in and unworkable. After moving some appliances around and creating a classy black and white kitchen modeled after MacKenzie-Childs dishware line, the result was a functional layout with enough character to brighten any day!

The master bedroom had only one small closet. With two adults sharing the space, more storage was desperately needed. We introduced bump out closets on either side of the windows, adding shelving within (eliminating the need for bureaus) and placing inset mirrors in the doors. We painted the room in Benjamin Moore’s Santa Fe Pottery shade. Our partner on this project was Woodworth Architects in Newton, MA. Photo by Roberto Farren Photography.

It is sometimes a surprise what beauty can lurk under the surface of a room. A client with a 1970s kitchen and eat-in area cut up by an unwieldy peninsula was desperate for it to reflect her love of all things English-and-French-Manor-Home.
Working closely with my client, we removed the peninsula in favor of a lovely free-standing island that we painted a shade of French Blue. This is topped with Old World sink hardware (note the ceramic HOT and COLD medallions on the faucets!) and a gorgeous marble counter with a very special edge profile that evokes an antique French Boulangerie counter from the 1910s. Pendants with patinaed metal shades over the island further the charming Old World feel. Handmade white and blue tiles laid in a quilted diamond pattern cover the backsplash, and the remainder of the cabinetry at the perimeter is in a warm cream tone.
The eat-in near the fireplace got a cozy treatment with custom seat cushions and window seat bench cushions in a classic blue-and-white Toile de Jouy matching the island stools.
The nearby living room got a similar treatment. We removed dark wood paneling and dark carpeting in favor of a light sky blue wall and lighter wood flooring. A new rug with the appearance of an heirloom, a new grand-scaled sofa, and some of my client’s precious antiques helped take the room from 70s rec room to English Sitting Room.

Pre-renovation, this kitchen desperately needed updating -- it was woefully dark, lacked counter space and storage. The redesign involved opening the space to the dining room allowing more light and giving the appearance of spaciousness. By virtue of thoughtful re-design, we were able to provide the clients with more counterspace than they thought possible as well as more storage -- all without changing the existing footprint!
