While aesthetically we wanted to make this office a zen paradise, it was important for us not forget its actual purpose … to function as a therapist's office! This meant providing seating that was both comfortable as well as professional.

The "Room for Imagination" theme continues with the hard working desk behind the sofa, a great place for homework, or relaxing with coloring books. With almost 12' ceilings, the tall rustic pine cabinet fits the space well and showcases books, games and collectibles. Design: Carol Lombardo Weil, The Decorating Therapist; Photo: Alain Jaramillo

Y’all KNOW how much I love styling a shelf! (#shelfie) Well I couldn’t help myself with this one - we went ALL OUT, styling it with vintage books, coral, plants, baskets and more. The San Pellegrino bottles and turqouise glasses really add a “pop”.

Originally designed to withstand the demands of a busy household with three active boys, the family room had served the homeowners well for many years. As their children left for college and they embraced an empty-nest lifestyle, the space was thoughtfully reimagined as a sophisticated luxury retreat for entertaining, relaxation, and everyday living. The redesign introduced refined furnishings, bespoke details, and a curated color palette that elevated the room while preserving its welcoming character. The result is a timeless family room that reflects the homeowners' evolving lifestyle through elegant design, exceptional comfort, and understated luxury.

The striking see-through jetted soaking tub serves as the centerpiece of this luxury primary bathroom renovation, creating an unforgettable architectural focal point. Designed for two, the contemporary bathtub combines sculptural beauty with spa-inspired comfort, offering a relaxing retreat for couples. Its transparent design establishes the modern aesthetic that guides the entire space, influencing the selection of premium materials, clean-lined cabinetry, sophisticated lighting, and refined finishes. More than a bathtub, it is a statement piece that transforms the primary bath into a bespoke wellness sanctuary where innovative design meets everyday luxury.

This wood and brass bookshelf is another example of how we incorporated vintage finds into this office space. The baskets as shown ABOVE are from Re-Store Williamsburg, as well are the books. While the tall, patterned vase is from Target, the hand-painted bowl with the water-foul on it is from a local antique store. I had purchased it several months ago with the hope of placing it in a project. With the green rim and the vintage feel, I can’t think of a better space to have placed it in!
