We’ve transformed spaces in several situations. Check out the before and after pics below!

Brooklyn Studio

This 520 sq ft luxury studio apartment located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn had a lot to offer except space! New appliances and fixtures, large windows with views of Manhattan and high ceilings, the space had lots of potential. The challenge was to maximize the small space for living, sleeping and working. The 10 foot ceilings helped to create the illusion of space—using height for tall, vertical furniture and storage. The apartment also offered deep kitchen cabinets that reached the ceiling, and a large walk-in closet that stored most belongings. The wall between the two windows, allowed for separation of the space—creating a sleeping area on one side and the living area on the other. We also took advantage of the nook opposite the kitchen—large enough to fit a 5 x 8 foot table that serves as a desk and a dining table. Mid-century style furnishings, luxurious fur throws, and a pop of pink and copper added warmth and to the space.

 Delray Pied-à-Terre

Located in Delray Beach, this 600 sq ft studio serves as a part-time home for its single resident. The challenge of the small space was to create “zones” for different day-to-evening needs and for different purposes. The main requirements were to have a privacy for sleeping; have a place to work and to dine; space to entertain guests and offer the ability for overnight guests. To meet these requirements, a tall bookcase was used as a room divider between the bedroom and lounge areas; a small sleeper sofa was added for lounging and sleeping; and a glass top table serves as a desk and a dining table – the glass opens up the space and gives a lighter look and feel. In addition, to provide more storage for this small space, a vertical bookcase takes advantage of ceiling height, there are under-bed storage containers, and an ottoman in the lounge area serves as a seat and storage. A soft, blush, white and gray palette is used with bold accents of magenta, copper and dark green.

Work-from-Home Apartment

A 750 sq ft, one bedroom apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn needed warmth and better use of space, especially for a professional couple who both worked from home. The apartment also had to accommodate two cats. The ceilings were low and like many New York apartments, there was limited closet space, and there were six large windows taking up a lot of wall space—great for light though! The main living/kitchen area was able to accommodate extra storage—a credenza and a bookcase that also served as a room divider. Mirrors on the wall helped give an illusion of space. Extra room on top of the kitchen cabinets also provided more storage and created a display area. And, free-standing cabinets helped to store more kitchen items. The bedroom was unusually large and easy to divide the room for a sleeping area and a home office. Hanging panels were used to divide the bed from the work area, providing privacy and also blocking street lights at night. The cats had a fun climbing structure on the wall and room to roam. Warm colors and textures were used, mid-century style furniture mixed with items already owned and accent walls of paint and wallpaper were added.

Umbrian Townhouse

Located in the Umbria region of Italy, the challenge of this 900 sq ft, three-story Medieval townhouse, was to maintain the historical elements while incorporating a modern, rustic look and feel that was affordable. This three-story townhouse had many hidden features to be brought to the surface: stone walls, wood beams, a large stable door, and elements of the original structure. We exposed many of the original features of the house and used a mix of modern appliances and rustic furniture to create comfort, character and a livable space. We also created multi-uses for each room to take advantage of the space—the kitchen is a working kitchen and a gathering area for guests; the top floor bedroom is adjacent to a lounge/study/guest room; the primary bedroom is adjacent to the modern bathroom that has a beautiful walk-in shower, hidden laundry area, and a whimsical green vanity with lots of storage. The green accent color is carried throughout the house among the natural textures and materials.

Urban Loft

Having just moved into their new, 1,200 sq ft loft in DUMBO, Brooklyn, this young family was seeking comfort, warmth and multi-functional use of space. A mix of high quality, contemporary and traditional style furnishings that are durable and aesthetically pleasing were mixed with less expensive pieces and the owners’ personal pieces. Soft, warm colors and tones were used to create an overall calmness in the space. Grids, lines and geometric shapes were brought in to compliment the window style. The kid’s space was zoned to their bedroom and family room to give them a separate area for play and school work. A “featured” wall was created using climbing boxes for storage and display in the living area. Lighting and colors were important to lighten the space as natural light was limited.

Mid-Century Modern Miami

A young, professional couple recently moved into this 1,800 sq ft, three bedroom apartment in downtown Miami. They brought with them a few essential, mid-century modern pieces, including the Noguchi coffee table and the Metropolitan chair. To continue the mid-century style, neutral textures and patterns were used, minimal, linear furnishings, and accents of mustard yellow and green are used throughout the space. Pops of the couple’s whimsical artwork and a Nelson wall clock add further uniqueness to make it a personal space.

Italian Trattoria

The owners of a popular, local restaurant in Connecticut were seeking a renovation and interior design of its 2,000 sq ft space. Its outdated interiors no longer stood the test of time or gave justice to its reputable menu. The owners were seeking a fresh, contemporary and warm look to give the feeling of a comfortable, yet spacious, trattoria to attract new customers while retaining current clientele.

Warmer colors, wood flooring and new furnishings were used with the striking contrast of a dark ceiling. The wall between the enclosed patio and dining room was opened up to create a continuous flow of the space; also making the space look larger. To create a wine bar/trattoria feeling, wooden wine crates were used for the front façade of the bar. Original photographs and objects from the owners’ native Italian town were organized to be displayed throughout the space to show their history. The restaurant has an incredible following and doubled its business in one year.
