Before & After

Before and After: Country Contemporary

Before and After stories are my favorite!  I love creating true transformations for our clients.  It is so rewarding. We transformed this dark, dated, heavy, Tuscan style home in Wellington, Florida to a stunning, modern oasis.  The client did not want a blue, coastal look – she wanted something more contemporary with traditional elements.  Check…

A Quick and Easy Home Office Makeover

Home offices are so important these days!  People want to create beautiful spaces to work from home.  We took this home office from dark and dated to light, bright and fabulous!  How, you ask?  The main way we did it was with….drumroll, please…paint!  Lots of it. We painted the built-in bookshelves, desks, ceiling beams and…

How To Transform Your Kitchen Without Renovating

When I met this fun Boynton Beach family of restauranteurs they told me that they loved the layout of their home and they really loved the “bones” of the house, but that it needed a lot of updating.  Full scale renovations, especially for the kitchen and bathrooms, however, can be quite costly. They asked me…

Makeover Takeover: From Dated to Fresh Bohemian

Making over a home that feels outdated is one of my favorite challenges. Mostly because renovation love is required for a successful outcome – and I’m in love with the reveal! For this home it meant an infusion of what’s clearly stylish today: bright, white, open and cozy (with a touch of color and gypsy style). These…

Makeover: A Modern Kitchen Redo

This is a home that needed some modern love. The kitchen slash great room had a painfully dark vibe. I met with my cabinetry maker and we invented a new plan – fully custom dark cabinetry against an otherwise white backdrop. It meant a lot of long hours in his shop. This kitchen needed to…

A MOD-iterranean Makeover

Can you say faux painting everywhere ten times fast? This home had it on every surface. Faux painting artists were very well employed in South Florida in the 1990s. I remove a lot of it from my clients’ walls, light switches, ceilings, floors, base board, crown molding, tile, etc etc. It’s like a bad disease…

Before & After: Country Club Mod

I recently finished up this home in the country club community of Frenchman’s Creek in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. When I first saw the Mediterranean style home it was a cacophony of overblown and exaggerated attempts at old world Italian style. The walls were covered with faux paint treatments, large scaled formal furniture and massive…

Madison TN

At the Dinner Bell Restaurant everything was old, out dated, and ugly (sorry Tom). So here’s a peak at the transformation.

Reno Rehab: Pool Renewal

This is just a teaser. It’s a post about an unfinished pool that has major possibilities. The issue: I’m not a landscape artist, and we don’t have a Jamie Durie budget (did someone say hottie?)  The pool and backyard are brand new in two budget conscious ways: new pavers and pool refacing. Wasn’t cheap by…

Reno Rehab: Kitchen Shmitchen

You asked for it! I decided to start a renovation diary about the renovation dramas of my very own dream home! It’s been exciting, stressful, and I’ve realized I’m a bitch of a client. Truth is: stress is part of the game and it feeds my psychosis (which is why I’m totally obsessed and I…

West 17th Street Guest Bath

In a rental apartment, it’s hard to find the right balance between “home” and “in flux”. If your landlord will let you paint walls “as long as you paint them white before you leave” then DO IT! This bathroom just needed a few simple fixes to make it warm and cozy. The strange wood medicine…

Upper East Side Kitchen

A kithen in an average city apartment is almost always small. My friend had a piece of art from her mom, it’s there hanging on the wall. I used that as my inspiration for this light and airy renovation. She really needed a table to dine with her boyfriend so I found this narrow counter…

Upper East Side Closet

A simple drape can make all the difference. This closet had no doors, and my client’s budget ran dry! So I used some soft linen drapes she had stuffed in the closet with the rest of her life!

Upper East Side Bedroom

This bedroom is the tiniest room I have ever seen! But for good feng shui the bed should always be facing the door. I hid the off center window with a heavy velvet drape and made that a feature wall. New bedding and some lighting as well as a soothing lavendar wall color and this…

Upper East Side Living Room Two

Does this even look like the same apartment? Storage was key here, because there wasn’t any. So I added shelving on one side of the room and kept the look simple and clean. Painting the old trim around windows and doors really freshened up the place. And a new, very inexpensive ceiling fan completes the…
