The homeowners wanted a more open, cohesive main floor, starting with a redesigned entrance from the garage that improved flow with a new hallway leading into the main living space. Removing the towering 30-foot brick fireplace transformed the space, making way for a bright, inviting kitchen with a stunning three-paneled window that floods the room with natural light. White and gray-toned cabinetry, a spacious quartz-topped island seating six, and state-of-the-art GE Monogram appliances, including a striking six-burner gas range, create a perfect blend of elegance and efficiency. Gray plank flooring flows throughout, complemented by plush gray carpet that subtly defines adjacent spaces. Thoughtful details—iron pendant lights, a gray-blue tile backsplash, and ash-gray hardware—enhance the sophisticated design. The updated laundry area, featuring sleek cabinetry and a quartz waterfall countertop, seamlessly balances style and practicality while connecting effortlessly to the new hallway. Now, the home accommodates both intimate gatherings and large family events, with an airy, light-filled layout designed for comfort and connection.

This living room was a blank slate, waiting to be filled in with texture and color. With a family room on the other side of the house for tv watching and game playing, we wanted to create a grown up space for when the Mr. and Mrs. entertain their friends. With white walls, a wood mantle and a single Shabby Chic white couch, this room was open to endless possibilities to update and sophisticate! We choose a subtle grey for the walls which was soothing and neutral, but added a much needed warmth. Vintage chinoiserie pots we scored on one of our hunts are a work of art in themselves. Raised on wooden pedestals, these fig leaf trees make great house plants and will continue to grow filling out the space with fresh greenery. The existing couch in the room was white with huge arms and big floppy cushions. It was in need of some TLC and updating. By modernizing the existing frame, it became a comfy Chesterfield in fresh natural woven linen. The tufting of the couch elevates the look without sacrificing the comfort. Our clients loved it so much, we did a second couch to match giving them plenty of seating to chat and enjoy cocktails. A vintage rug loaded with beautiful colors is grounded by the neutrality of the furniture. The mantle was painted in a rich dark grey that matched the veins in the marble hearth and looks like it’s own framed work of art. When deciding on what to do with the blank walls, she showed us some of her daughter’s recent artwork. We were totally inspired with what we saw. What a treasure to have such talent! We suggested a gallery wall, framing each masterpiece, in different vintage frames. A mix of sizes and patterns look super chic when all done in a uniform color. With touches of brass throughout the room, gilded with gold was the way to go. One of our favorite finds – a brass swan, became the perfect unexpected vase for fresh tulips. A bone tray is a beautiful contrast to the vintage coffee table we lacquered in black and inlaid with beveled smokey mirror. The finishing touches were the pieces to finish off the fireplace. I always love a lion, a protector of the house. We snatched up this beautiful marble and brass fire tool set the minute we saw it and the rest is history. A beautiful space to relax and entertain, while showing off their very own art gallery. Foster the creativity within your children, and everyone will reap the benefits.

The image showcases a modern living room with a bright and minimalist design. A teal green sofa with a light throw blanket and white cushions sits near large windows with black blinds, allowing natural light to fill the space. In front of the sofa, a wooden coffee table with a black metal frame holds a white vase with dried branches and a small decorative item. A round table with a dark top and black metal legs is paired with two black chairs, adorned with a vase of dried flowers and a textured black sphere. A modern staircase with wooden steps and black railings is visible on the left, leading to an upper level. A flat-screen television is mounted on the wall, flanked by two vertical radiators. A floor lamp with a large, round gold shade stands near the windows, while a large potted plant adds greenery to the room. A wicker basket with a blanket sits near the sofa, contributing to the clean and contemporary aesthetic of the space, which features light wooden flooring and neutral walls.

The dining table blended with our client's desire for a more contemporary flair served as inspiration for the Kitchen and Dining Area. Two focal points exist in this area - the 7' tall custom designed built-in storage unit in the dining area, and a magnificent 11' long honed marble, waterfall wrapped kitchen island. The primitive style built in cabinetry was finished to relate to the traditional elements of the dining table and the clean lines of the cabinetry in the Kitchen Area simultaneously. The result is an eclectic contemporary vibe filled with rich, layered textures. The Kitchen Area was designed as an elegant backdrop for the 3 focal points on the main level open floor plan. Clean lined off-white perimeter cabinetry and a textured, North African motif patterned backsplash frame the rich colored Island, where the client often entertains and dines with guests.
