Trim includes (proportionally-sized) crown molding, window/door casings, & traditional mantel w/dental molding. Minimal wall décor, antique sewing machine & Orthodox icons complete this very-personal, yet welcoming, accessible space--a great blend of traditional architectural elements & contemporary design!

Vestibule - asian vestibule idea in San Francisco

This was a project completed circa 2005, but to date has been my most dramatic mural project. It was completed in partnership with my father, Robert F. Jackson. The layout/design was my work, as are the featured painted imagery in these photos. Mural was painted on a barrel ceiling four stories above ground, with temporary contruction flooring in place (at the third story level) and additional scaffolding.

Our client desired a functional, tasteful, and improved environment to compliment their home. The overall goal was to create a landscape that was subtle and not overdone. The client was highly focused on their deck environment that would span across the rear of the house with an area for a Jacuzzi as well. A portion of the deck has a screened in porch due to the naturally buggy environment since the home is situated in the woods and a low area. A mosquito repellent injection system was incorporated into the irrigation system to help with the bug issue. We improved circulation of the driveway, increased the overall curb appeal of the entrance of the home, and created a scaled and proportional outdoor living environment for the clients to enjoy. The client has religious guidelines that needed to be adhered to with the overall function and design of the landscape, which included an arbor over the deck to support a Sukkah and a Green Egg smoker to cook Kosher foods. Two columns were added at the driveway entrance with lights to help define their driveway entrance since it's the end of a long pipe-stem. New light fixtures were also added to the rear of the house. Our client desired multiple amenities with a limited budget, so everything had to be value engineered through the design and construction process. There is heavy deer pressure on the site, a mosquito issue, low site elevations, flat topography, poor soil, and overall poor drainage of the site. The original driveway was not sized appropriately and the front porch had structural issues, as well as leaked water onto the landing below. The septic tank was also situated close to the rear of the house and had to be contemplated during the design process. Photography: Morgan Howarth. Landscape Architect: Howard Cohen, Surrounds Inc.

The stone/putty colour of the repainted kitchen cabinets is much better for the feng shui elemental balance of the space. It also works better with the type of natural light in the room. There is more effective use of wall space in the new design too and the table area is much easier to use and has no religious connotations of the previous church pew. This bothered my client as it reminded her of her strict catholic upbringing.

I am so excited to finally share my Spring 2018 One Room Challenge! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Natasha Habermann. I am a full-time interior designer and blogger living in North Salem, NY. Last Fall, I participated as a guest in the Fall 2017 ORC and was selected by Sophie Dow, editor in chief of House Beautiful to participate as a featured designer in the Spring 2018 ORC. I've religiously followed the ORC for years, so being selected as a featured designer was a tremendous honor.
