“This past year, I hired Jonathan Wolfe to design a partial kitchen renovation in my 1929 Westchester County, NY home. About 19 years ago, I completely gutted and renovated the kitchen using high-end custom cabinets, keeping the existing footprint. At that time, I did not have the foresight (or budget) to expand the kitchen. Almost 20 years later, with both children in college, I wanted to finally create that open feel that I had been wanting; creating a more inviting place to eat, cook and entertain. The one caveat for this project, however, was that my husband really wanted to keep the custom light maple cabinets, even though I was worried that they reflected a dated 1990’s look. What Jonathan did was he designed a way to connect the old with the new, creating a stunning new open kitchen and dining room. He designed the new archway that opened from kitchen to dining room to mirror the archways throughout the house. Then he designed a peninsula that connected the two rooms, keeping the traditional 1929 feel of the house, but making it more clean-line and open. While this was considered a “smallish” project, it was not an easy one – working on an almost 100 year home and making everything seemed as it all worked together was Jonathan’s absolute special magic. After we changed all the hardware (from brass to polished chrome), put in new lighting, added some new appliances, changed fixtures, etc, the new space and the cabinets work beautifully. We would definitely hire Jonathan Wolfe again for our next project, he is a real pro.”

“Esther Sperber was the consummate professional. Agreeing to prioritize light, space, and storage space, with a modern design and staying within budget, Esther brought creative and smart ideas and design schemes to every phase of our 3 bdrm 2bath home combination and renovation. VIsitors to our home always comment on the seamless layout, abundant closets and clean, unique lines. Esther put her special touches on our kitchen, finding Italian lacquered cabinets; on our built in living room media wall and built in AC/heater cabinets; and on solid wood closet doors with a double line piping, consistent throughout our home. Esther ably managed the contractor and his team as well, checking in regularly and amazingly enough, keeping them on schedule and budget too. While much of the home buying/renovating process can be stressful, Esther was a constant beacon of calm. My husband and I looked forward to each of our meetings with Esther and every time felt that we had accomplished the next step toward building our dream home with the excitement of having "found" that perfect backsplash, flooring, etc. We have recommended Studio ST to many friends already and are happy to do so through houzz.”

“Eric Lifton was amazing. We gutted a loft space that hadn't been touched for three decades and he completely re-imagined the raw space into a home that perfectly suited our growing family. We have lived there now for four years and continue to be unbelievably satisfied with everything that he did. In addition to being a creative genius, Eric was timely and responsible and helped us execute our plan within budget and on time. Overall, the experience was wonderful and we could not be more satisfied.”

“We commissioned Pierre-Henri to design our dream home in New Jersey, a new 8,000 square foot family home where our direction was to think creatively about the design, communal spaces and allow for plenty of light. Pierre was an absolute pleasure to work with - he was timely, incorporated our feedback seamlessly, and drove the design process. We are confident because he cared deeply about delivering a beautiful product. We highly recommend him for your next project.”

“My husband and I have hired Andrea multiple times: at our former house in Montclair, our two bedroom UWS co-op last year, and currently, a full house renovation project for my in-laws. Andrea is passionate about design - she’s organized, professional, and a delight to work with. She is extremely client focused and has been able to help us figure out what our style is - at times, we haven’t been too sure! Rather than impose her own taste or vision, she works with us to help uncover the design elements that will make our home elegant, comfortable, and livable. Most importantly, our home just feels like “us”. We have a lot of old family heirlooms, and she has been able to combine them with more modern pieces to create an eclectic feel that we love. We really appreciate Andrea's versatility in that she can help us refresh one room or renovate an entire home to upgrade it with beautiful finishes, moldings, and custom cabinetry or built-ins. She does it all, and she makes it fun! She’s also been very flexible with our various budgets along the way, always willing to make it work and make the finished product one that we’re thrilled with. We would wholeheartedly recommend Andrea and von b interiors to any friend or family member in need of a dedicated designer.”

“I began working with Weil Friedman Architects (specifically, Barbara Friedman) in the Fall of 2012, when I purchased a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, approximately 1750 sq. foot apartment in my current building, anticipating my July marriage and the combination of two families of kids and animals. Time had stood still in the apartment since the 1960s, so this was a total renovation. New kitchen and baths, surfaces, all lighting throughout, built-ins, reconfiguration of the space. From the design and drawing stage, through construction and punch list, Weil Friedman Architects were the consummate professionals. Detail-oriented, never dropped the ball once, always available to answer questions, worked extremely well with the contractors. They are "soup to nuts" architects, participating in everything from choosing stone, fabrics, paint, flooring, cabinetry, and just the right appliances...you get an architect, project manager, designer, decorator, and "seeker and finder of the perfect polished nickel bullet hinge" all rolled into one. They are great to work with, offering ideas while listening to yours. The project finished right on schedule, and that was in no small part due to Weil Friedman's determination and midnight and weekend oil. Not only that, but we finished on budget. Amazing. I wish I had another apartment to renovate just so I can work with them again, and I tell anyone I know who is about to undertake a project, that they should talk to them.”
