Study room - mid-sized cottage freestanding desk dark wood floor study room idea in New York with blue walls and no fireplace

This tiny home is located on a treelined street in the Kitsilano neighborhood of Vancouver. We helped our client create a living and dining space with a beach vibe in this small front room that comfortably accommodates their growing family of four. The starting point for the decor was the client's treasured antique chaise (positioned under the large window) and the scheme grew from there. We employed a few important space saving techniques in this room... One is building seating into a corner that doubles as storage, the other is tucking a footstool, which can double as an extra seat, under the custom wood coffee table. The TV is carefully concealed in the custom millwork above the fireplace. Finally, we personalized this space by designing a family gallery wall that combines family photos and shadow boxes of treasured keepsakes.

Ann Kenkel Interiors Russell Hirshon PhotographyCoastal Estate in St. Michael's Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. House was designed after the original 1770's house on the property. Home was designed to be a formal house but was now being used as a weekend retreat. Ann Kenkel had to decorate the house in a manner which was coastal enough so owner's felt like they were on vacation yet formal enough for the style of the house. AK found the house filled with wallpaper from the 1980's. Wallpaper from every room was removed and all trim had to be painted a neutral color. The formal dining room only had one entry. AK opened up a second entry into the dining room which provided a view of the Chesapeake Bay.

Dense tree canopy and hedges at the back of the property provide deep shade in the summer and can serve as a "catcher's mitt" to protect structures from fire. The Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis) to the right of the walkway fills with large, pink, trumpet-like flowers adored by hummingbirds in summer.

Standing 34" tall, the Nearly Natural Vining Puff Ivy plant is the perfect simple accent for a side table with books, on the fireplace mantel or as a floor plant next to a bold printed accent chair. Adjustable stems and leaves create a realistic look, without the mess and maintenance of real ivy pants.

This project is another example of how to maximize small spaces. This customer’s small Brentwood yard was centered around their new plunge pool. However, the existing pavers and layout left much to be desired. We reworked the pavers to create usable spaces and clean lines, and a vines and lighting work with the custom pergola to increase the privacy and add a soft vertical element to encourage the intimate feel of the space. Two other structures block the pool equipment and AC compressor from sight. This reduces the visual weight of these areas and allows the eye to focus on the crown jewel of the space… the pool.

Even the smallest details make a big difference in our Northwest Modern collection. Made in America of braided wool by a family-owned mill, our Cablelock Wool Baskets are fun, fashionable, and attractive storage solutions for any room in the house.
