You don't have to own a big celebrity mansion to have a beautifully appointed house finished with unique and special materials. When my clients bought an average condo kitted out with all the average builder-grade things that average builders stuff into spaces like that, they longed to make it theirs. Being collectors of colorful Fiesta tableware and lovers of extravagant stone, we set about infusing the space with a dose of their fun personality. There wasn’t a corner of the house that went untouched in this extensive renovation. The ground floor got a complete make-over with a new Calacatta Gold tile floor, and I designed a very special border of Lunada Bay glass mosaic tiles that outlines the edge of every room. We ripped out a solid walled staircase and replaced it with a visually lighter cable rail system, and a custom hanging chandelier now shines over the living room. The kitchen was redesigned to take advantage of a wall that was previously just shallow pantry storage. By opening it up and installing cabinetry, we doubled the counter space and made the kitchen much more spacious and usable. We also removed a low hanging set of upper cabinets that cut off the kitchen from the rest of the ground floor spaces. Acquarella Fantasy quartzite graces the counter surfaces and continues down in a waterfall feature in order to enjoy as much of this stone’s natural beauty as possible. One of my favorite spaces turned out to be the primary bathroom. The scheme for this room took shape when we were at a slab warehouse shopping for material. We stumbled across a packet of a stunning quartzite called Fusion Wow Dark and immediately fell in love. We snatched up a pair of slabs for the counter as well as the back wall of the shower. My clients were eager to be rid of a tub-shower alcove and create a spacious curbless shower, which meant a full piece of stone on the entire long wall would be stunning. To compliment it, I found a neutral, sandstone-like tile for the return walls of the shower and brought it around the remaining walls of the space, capped with a coordinating chair rail. But my client's love of gold and all things sparkly led us to a wonderful mosaic. Composed of shifting hues of honey and gold, I envisioned the mosaic on the vanity wall and as a backing for the niche in the shower. We chose a dark slate tile to ground the room, and designed a luxurious, glass French door shower enclosure. Little touches like a motion-detected toe kick night light at the vanity, oversized LED mirrors, and ultra-modern plumbing fixtures elevate this previously simple bathroom. And I designed a watery-themed guest bathroom with a deep blue vanity, a large LED mirror, toe kick lights, and customized handmade porcelain tiles illustrating marshland scenes and herons.

An intense, atmospheric zodiac portrait bringing dark celestial mythology into bold focus. This Scorpio-inspired hybrid warrior — part man, part scorpion, emerging from moonlit water beneath his constellation — makes a dramatic statement piece for media rooms, studies, or gallery walls leaning into moodier, more intense decor themes. The deep navy-and-black palette with metallic accents suits modern, eclectic, and masculine spaces especially well, pairing naturally with dark furniture and dramatic lighting. A powerful, unmistakable gift for anyone with a birthday falling under Scorpio.

A fun dining room large enough to entertain or play family game night. Continuing a magical theme in this pass through space. New furniture, lighting, and a few fun accessories. Featuring long rectangle, extension pedestal dining table, 8 French Country Style Dining Chairs (4 on either side of the table), a credenza with a card catalog front and two extra Contemporary Wingback dining chairs, a gorgeous urn style table lamp, and a metal swirling chandelier. The element of timelessness is captured in this space in the repetition of scrolling vines, the magical whimsy.

Interior Designer Ghislaine Viñas Built by Manhattan Renovations Sponsored by HBF Textiles "The design of the booth is based on our hope that one day there will be ZERO cases of HIV AIDS. The center of the table has a display which we designed and fabricated in the GVID studio with lots of love and care. The theme is Memphis - a design movement that was started in the early 80's around same time as the first reported AIDS case in NYC. We hope that DIFFA is able to raise lots and lots of money this year for the cause. DIFFA DBD has a beautiful spacious new home this year on Pier 92."
