Commissioned by a leading corporate executive who maintains offices in most of the 50 states, our Signature Design Team was under intense pressure. The client's request: "fill this room with tropical goodness". Our Signature Artists explored every option imaginable. This aquatic experience begins with an extended, gentle decline beach entry. a romantic sitting area for two, a powerful swim-jet, concealed, underwater fiber-optic lighting, and a convenient in-floor cleaning system. And the finishing touch, a fourteen-foot sheer waterfall originating from a mountain of fractured, granite slabs. The conclusion: a private, indoor beach resort. Not convinced? Notice the panoramic sunset mural just to the right of the waterfall. That scene was custom requested and order by the client who wanted to replicate his favorite vacation destination.

The retaining wall stone used matches the veneer stone on the outside of this beautiful home. There is a strong bond created from the indoor to the outdoor, with a sense of cohesiveness by replicating colors and texture. The view is outstanding from the raised patio area.

We started with 4 vintage chairs. Our custom furniture maker replicated 2 add'l (about $750 each). Upholstered in Sambra gold. Yes, it's decadent, but understated really! Table is new (Henredon). Rug was an auction find (we can order new very similar to this) Hand knotted. Drapes are silk. Hardware is Kravet, of course...hand dipped gold, just fantastic. Walls are over-the-top guilded birch wallpaper by Anna French (found @ 's Wonderful :-)!) Light is vintage & NFS!!! Everyone wants it! And then one of our newest obsessions (well since 2010) PV France. Love the color and style. Collected originally by a close friend and neighbor.

This room was a blank canvas and we created an organized paradise. The customer loved how we were able to transform such an oddly shaped room into something so useful. We used birch wood to create a bright and airy atmosphere as well as lots of secondary lighting in brass to replicate the sun.

With tall ceilings, an impressive stone fireplace, and original wooden beams, this home in Glen Ellyn, a suburb of Chicago, had plenty of character and a style that felt coastal. Six months into the purchase of their home, this family of six contacted Alessia Loffredo and Sarah Coscarelli of ReDesign Home to complete their home’s renovation by tackling the kitchen. “Surprisingly, the kitchen was the one room in the home that lacked interest due to a challenging layout between kitchen, butler pantry, and pantry,” the designer shared, “the cabinetry was not proportionate to the space’s large footprint and height. None of the house’s architectural features were introduced into kitchen aside from the wooden beams crossing the room throughout the main floor including the family room.” She moved the pantry door closer to the prepping and cooking area while converting the former butler pantry a bar. Alessia designed an oversized hood around the stove to counterbalance the impressive stone fireplace located at the opposite side of the living space. She then wanted to include functionality, using Trim Tech‘s cabinets, featuring a pair with retractable doors, for easy access, flanking both sides of the range. The client had asked for an island that would be larger than the original in their space – Alessia made the smart decision that if it was to increase in size it shouldn’t increase in visual weight and designed it with legs, raised above the floor. Made out of steel, by Wayward Machine Co., along with a marble-replicating porcelain countertop, it was designed with durability in mind to withstand anything that her client’s four children would throw at it. Finally, she added finishing touches to the space in the form of brass hardware from Katonah Chicago, with similar toned wall lighting and faucet.

Bring depth and texture to any wall with this one of a kind contemporary wall art piece made from reclaimed teak. Created by hand with teak wood blocks, the configurations and looks are nearly endless. Can easily bring a warm natural contrast to a modern décor, or a geometric feel to an organic rustic room. Natural tones will compliment most wall colors. Because of the varying sizes of the blocks, no two panels are the same, giving this a unique and non-replicable feel. Depths of the texture vary from ¼ in-1 in. Decorate with style and remain eco-conscious with this great design! Contact us for more information.

There was a small softwood pergola with an equally small brick herringbone terrace beneath, both were over 20 years old. The client wanted to make the space more useable and so we doubled the size of the terrace and the pergola. We were able to keep the existing pergola. After carrying out some repairs to the upright posts, we removed the middle post and installed a length of metal angle iron to support the beams. We then installed more beams to replicate the existing half. Finally we painted the whole structure. H Hopefully it will last another 20 years now.

When the beautiful master bedroom draperies are open, an elegant surprise is revealed. Custom-designed delicate and graceful voile embroidered sheers cover the windows. Color coordinating with the drapery panels and fabricated with pinch pleats, these sheers operate on a separate hidden traverse rod. The forged iron bench in the center or the sheers replicates the elegant vines embroidered on the sheers. Margaret Volney, Designer and Photographer

We created a social entertaining space in the lower level of this new construction home that backs up to the Oklahoma Training Track and is walking distance to the Saratoga Race Course. It is complete with a wine room, wet bar and tv space. The bar, tv enclosure and millwork are constructed of rustic barn wood as a tribute to their love of horses. The tv enclosure doors are a replication of working barn stall doors. The design is appropriate for the racing scene location. The entertaining space functions as intended with the wet bar centrally located between the wine room just off the right behind it and the cozy tv space ahead.

Small, enclosed kitchen in 1920's building on the Upper West Side was opened up by removing all unnecessary walls. New arch replicates existing arch for design continuity. New custom cabinets to ceiling with much improved layout that includes additional counter space and addition of new custom banquette in previously separate dining room.
