50/50s House is a love letter to the 1950’s. Our clients, Gina and David have a love for books and found objects and wanted to display their collections with pride. The brief also called for a home that would afford them and their teenagers the ability to occupy different spaces without feeling disconnected. Bold lines and playful geometry work in tandem with the charm of the existing house to create a beautiful healthy home that is as endearing as it is enduring.

I WISH I had before pictures of this project. The home was built in 2001. And after living 20+ years with a builder's grade kitchen, the lovely couple was eager to revamp. This time around, we brought the wall cabinets to the ceiling (which always give the illusion of taller ceilings, not to mention the additional storage); And topped the wall cabinets with a beautiful molding detail. An added island, in a dark gray stain added visual interest and weight to this white shaker kitchen. ?Designer Tip- Want an island with seating? A dark, stain is a great finish choice. For ☝️, a stain is more durable than a paint. And ✌️, the darker finish will hide scuff marks and wear and tear the island may endure from company and littles.

This distinguished residence presents a refined stucco exterior, creating a clean and enduring facade that beautifully anchors the property to its landscape. The crisp, smooth texture of the stucco is perfectly complemented by the addition of striking blue shutters, which introduce a vibrant touch of coastal personality and elegantly frame the home's classic fenestration.

This Parisian paradise was designed for a very special young girl. Her Mother contacted Greene Designs looking for someone to create the room her daughter had been dreaming about for years. Due to an accident when she was an infant she has had to endure hundreds of surgeries over her life. When I heard her story I knew she was deserving of something wonderful. Her Mother and I set out to create a room that has a touch of Parisian sophistication (a place they hope to visit soon), and the fun and whimsy of a pre-teen’s room. This bedroom includes a daybed with a trundle perfect for sleepovers, a charming nightstand with a bit of “bling”, a vanity where she can do her makeup, a dresser with a mirror, and a chandelier. The paint and accessories pulled the room together completing the Parisian design. I was so happy to be chosen to design a room for such a fun, sweet, and courageous young lady.

A sculptural soaking tub positioned beneath the handcrafted window invites moments of pause, while the adjoining shower seamlessly blends functionality with refined detailing. Matte black fixtures add contrast and definition, offering a contemporary layer to an otherwise classic palette. The result is a bathroom that feels collected, enduring, and deeply personal—a retreat where old-world inspiration and modern comfort coexist in perfect harmony.
