I'm honored to have received two 2026 Design Excellence Awards from the ASID NJ! My beautiful good luck charm - my granddaughter Sophia - joined me for this year's gala, which made it extra special.💖

NEW PROJECT! We're starting off with a dramatic transformation of a double-sided fireplace that creates a visual rather than physical definition between this home's living room and dining room.

We removed the bookcases, mantel, and ceiling molding, dressing the fireplace with textured porcelain tile that draws the eye upward for a sleek, contemporary look. The Frame TV can be seen from multiple areas of the home.

❓Can you use tiles of more than 2 or 3 different shapes in a bathroom? Absolutely! In this bathroom, we used 7 different shapes of the same variegated tile to create a harmonious yet interesting Southwestern palette. We even continued the tile in the vanity top, and we framed the beveled mirror with the same tile that runs horizontally around the room.

Basements are frequenty overlooked as living spaces - often used for storage or light recreational spaces, they can be so much more. We created a quiet retreat in this basement with soft colors, textures and fabrics; it's a place where the homeowners can escape from their hectic days and sink into total relaxation.

🎨A homeowner's passion can be reflected in any room of the house - even the bathroom. The artistic pattern on these white porcelain tiles is a reflection of the artist who owns this condo; at the same time, the style adds a unique flair to the overall space.

The light fixture you choose for any space is an opportunity to go beyond illumination; it can enhance, it can echo other elements, or it can make a statement all its own.
💡In the first photo, the warm glow of the soft gold sconces and fixtures add a refined touch to the primary bathroom.
💡The geometric soft gold pendant light in the second photo elegantly enhances the ceiling, while its metal coordinates with the soft gold faucet and drawer pulls.
💡Striking lighting isn't limited to rooms - the crystal chandelier in the hallway photo continues the overall elegance of the home and echoes crystal chandeliers in the bathroom and bedroom.

Artwork enhances rooms, and wall color enhances artwork. With the right placement, keeping proportion in mind, the wall color you choose can make artwork stand out or allow it to snuggle naturally into its chosen space. Support it with complementary colors and patterns in the room for the final touches.
