Of utmost importance to this client was a home boasting an elegant vibe – highlighting sophisticated furnishings without pretension – but with little-to-no-maintenance. Throughout the house, the designers incorporated performance fabrics that are sustainable for pets and children, offering an elegant ease that transitions from outdoor to indoor. They also focused heavily on the convenience factor, bringing the home deep into technology with media seating for a true media room; custom motorized shades in every room; TVs that reveal with a simple push of a button; and even desks that transition from a standing to seated position. Of course, you can’t have convenience without some glamour, and a former sitting room that was converted into a dressing room will make any woman’s eyes pop with envy. The to-die-for closet features power rods that float down for easy reach, a dressing mirror with wings that fold in and LED lights that change colors, a bench covered in couture fabric for distinctive perching, decadent carpeting and tons of shoe storage.

Long time clients who are "empty nesters" downsized from a larger house to this new condominium, designed to showcase their small yet impressive collection of modern art. The space plan, high ceilings, and careful consideration of materials lends their residence an quiet air of sophistication without pretension. Existing furnishings nearly 30 years old were slightly modified and reupholstered to work in the new residence, which proved both economical and comforting.

Our clients weren’t ready to part with their dining set or sideboard, and jumped at our recommendation to freshly paint the pieces and upgrade the hardware for a whole new look. Custom draperies in a linen blend are polished without pretense. Knotty, wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring throughout the main level help the spaces flow organically.

So inviting and soft, it’s scrumptious. The Stanton sofa offers no pretenses at formality, but if it’s cool, casual comfort you are looking for, your search has ended. Perfect for flopping and lounging, the seat and back cushions are stuffed full with lovely down feathers, but they are loose so they can be plumped as needed. And the flat French welt treatment frames the piece while also lending a sophisticated accent. The Jude swivel chair is padded entirely with premium high-density, high-resiliency foam Loose seat and tight back Stainless steel memory swivel base Lifetime warranty on frame and suspension; 5 years against defects in materials and workmanship for all other elements.

We reconfigured this kitchen - removing a wall - to allow for a large island for entertaining. With two young children, durability was key. We chose Brownstone stools customized with performance fabric on the back to introduce a bit of pattern and wipeable faux leather seats. The backsplash over range is a single slab of Eureka Danby from Vermont's Dorsett Mountain, which wipes down easily. The Lostine pendants and sconces introduce a smidge of midcentury vibes. The tongue and groove backsplash and soapstone counters provide a quaint farmhouse feel; and we chose the fabric for the roman shade from a Parisian fabric house, Antoinette Poisson, which specializes in 18th century pattern designs, to add a bit of history.
