You don't have to own a home to have an interior designer. This small little apartment was long and skinny with no definition of space. How do you create a dining room, living room and kitchen when it is one long hall? You create "zones" with rugs, art, lighting and furniture arrangement! Check out this Brooklyn apartment. The building would not allow the addition of a chandelier in the space so we created one from a crate and candle globes!

Nestled in its own private and gated 10 acre hidden canyon this spectacular home offers serenity and tranquility with million dollar views of the valley beyond. Walls of glass bring the beautiful desert surroundings into every room of this 7500 SF luxurious retreat. Thompson photographic

The first floor offers an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, augmented by a bedroom and a full bath. Upstairs, in addition to the two guest bedrooms and full bath, is a large master suite with high ceilings, a truly voluminous walk-in closet and a marble-trimmed bath with double sinks and ample storage.
