Farmhouse exterior home idea in New York

Limestone Mantle is centerpiece of this wall, lights are not yet installed which will be downcase library lights. The library was made more English while the exterior was definitely French Norman (even before renovation)

This home remodel is a celebration of curves and light. Starting from humble beginnings as a basic builder ranch style house, the design challenge was maximizing natural light throughout and providing the unique contemporary style the client’s craved. The Entry offers a spectacular first impression and sets the tone with a large skylight and an illuminated curved wall covered in a wavy pattern Porcelanosa tile. The chic entertaining kitchen was designed to celebrate a public lifestyle and plenty of entertaining. Celebrating height with a robust amount of interior architectural details, this dynamic kitchen still gives one that cozy feeling of home sweet home. The large “L” shaped island accommodates 7 for seating. Large pendants over the kitchen table and sink provide additional task lighting and whimsy. The Dekton “puzzle” countertop connection was designed to aid the transition between the two color countertops and is one of the homeowner’s favorite details. The built-in bistro table provides additional seating and flows easily into the Living Room. A curved wall in the Living Room showcases a contemporary linear fireplace and tv which is tucked away in a niche. Placing the fireplace and furniture arrangement at an angle allowed for more natural walkway areas that communicated with the exterior doors and the kitchen working areas. The dining room’s open plan is perfect for small groups and expands easily for larger events. Raising the ceiling created visual interest and bringing the pop of teal from the Kitchen cabinets ties the space together. A built-in buffet provides ample storage and display. The Sitting Room (also called the Piano room for its previous life as such) is adjacent to the Kitchen and allows for easy conversation between chef and guests. It captures the homeowner’s chic sense of style and joie de vivre.

Eclectic pool photo in New York

This traditional design is transformed from comfortable to exceptional with Valeri Larko’s one-of-a-kind oil painting, Industrial Robot. The perfect offset for this neutral fireplace, the colorful painting accentuates the custom windows of this double-height living room, offering a fresh take on classic mantlepiece art.

A brand new kitchen design fit for this young Texan fashionista! We reconfigured the floor plan, closing off the original kitchen entryway and opening up the adjacent dining room. This greatly increased the amount of space and light, creating the perfect setting for soft blue-gray cabinets. Detail is everything in this home, so for the kitchen & dining area we incorporated glamorous hardware, lustrous mirror decor, and a brass lighting fixture above the dining table.
