Most design showhouses are properties for sale, and each designer creates a space for viewing. It’s a great way to market the property and the designer. However, the Kingston Design Showhouse in the Fall of 2019 was at Historic Wiltyck House in Kingston, New York, that's partially used as an Airbnb and home for the owners. The room I designed is the homeowner's private dining room; therefore, we took their taste and needs into account, especially on architectural decisions. The overall style is a mixture of modern and traditional, feminine and masculine, and moody and bright, lots of depth but not overwhelming. The architecture serves as a canvas for the furniture showcased during the exhibit and then the homeowner's furniture that will occupy the space afterward. Small details such as replacing or refinishing the doorknobs, replacing the switches and outlets were not forgotten. Then more significant details such as the wallpapered ceiling, new ceiling medallion, and light fixture make a tremendous impact on the space. The wall paint is neutral enough but adds depth with its medium tone gray. Then we added a white border and mauve painted trim as an interpretation of the crown molding that's missing. During the exhibit, we had local makers from the Hudson Valley well represented through furniture, accessories, art, and floral arrangements. All are makers that I love and want to share with you; without them, the room wouldn’t be as lovely as it is.

A white kitchen with a contemporary design that features a tremendous amount of glass and natural light. The quartersawn cherry cabinetry with a dark cabinet stain makes a bold statement. The darker kitchen cabinets contrast beautifully with pale countertops and backsplash for a space that is both calming and striking.

This gorgeous home was featured in Northern Virginia Magazine. Even though it was horribly dated when we started, we saw tremendous potential! We started with Craftsman-like molding, and envisioned warm white walls and rich dark wood floors. Lots of texture through wallcoverings, window treatments and rich wool rugs transformed this grand home into a stunning project.

Filled with tremendous entertaining opportunities, the rear of the home details a fabulous indoor-outdoor bar window, a covered porch, and optional rear garage seating.

Getting rid of the tub made a tremendous difference in this master bathroom, allowing for more storage and counter space. This large vanity also includes room for towel storage, which makes up for the fact that this condo does not have apartment a linen closet.

If you are looking for a model ship with tremendous appeal, look no further. Consider this: this ship model is gorgeous nautical accessory and it is an antique toy. It’s built plank-on-frame. Ironsides ship model looks like it could be from the 1930s, granted, it held up well… Not too small and not too big this ship model represents a tremendous value. This ship built of all wood in antique walnut finish, has antique brass hardware, tea stained sails; ship complete with stand and cast-iron original issue keel weight.

The House Beautiful 2010 Kitchen of the Year is a contemporary space featuring a tremendous amount of glass and natural light, which complement KraftMaid’s Quartersawn Cherry cabinetry in Peppercorn.

This kitchen features beige cabinets from DuraSupreme cabinetry. We made sure to incorporate a tremendous amount of cabinet space for extra storage in this room. The hanging light fixture adds elegant dash of style to this room and complements the hanging wall lights.

This addition to the tall cabinet at the "hers" vanity is the client's favorite part of the renovation. The inserts swing out and hold a tremendous amount of bath paraphanalia! Behind them is ample storage space as well.

With minimal available space but tremendous potential this deck needed compact concrete. A two tone concrete fire pit and lightweight concrete countertops provide comfort and usability in a small package.

This drainage ditch turned dry creek bed channels a tremendous amount of neighborhood water runoff during wet periods. The grasses and shrubs not only soften the design but hold the bank against erosion. Photo by Jay Sifford.
