The tall windows, neutral hues, ornate mirrors, and the gorgeous fireplace brings harmony and balance with the perfect touch of antique elements and brass accents. I love the simplicity and warmth of this space, evoking the feeling of a timeless design.

A modern design with a touch of vintage and traditional furnishings makes this alluring dining room classic and timeless. The striking blue artwork by Sohan Quadri was created by infusing dye on heavy paper. The fusion of this modern art with the marble dining table and chairs with a curved silhouette is visually satisfying.

The Donald Sultan artwork, “Mimosa” features charcoal and conte on paper, creating a beautiful contrast against the vintage sideboard in the dining room. This also pairs beautifully with the fabulous Lobmeyr chandelier made with Swarovski crystals with a nickel finish and black accents. This dining room leaves a beautiful impression of my client’s personality with a unique aesthetic and it was so much fun seeing how this came together!

What an honor to present a Tropical-Chic Table at The League Club’s leading fundraiser, Naples Table 2023! My goal was to present a table that a Naples hostess could easily recreate on her own, effortlessly and with elegance. A highlight of the event was meeting some incredible designers and learning about all the wonderful programs that will benefit from this annual fundraiser, specifically, at-risk adults and children.

This snapshot of the tablescape depicts a whimsical statement with beautiful patterns and striking hues, which speaks to the beautiful spring season that is soon approaching us. Who else is looking forward to warmer weather!

Excited to share a kitchen “facelift” today!

Working with the client’s existing wallpaper and window treatment in the adjacent room, I set out to freshen up her kitchen by selecting real marble as the focal point. This beautiful marble was used on both the countertops and backsplash to fully appreciate its elegance and functionality.

The old pendant lights over the island were replaced with linear pendant lights with a hammered satin nickel finish, bringing in a clean, crisp appeal. To tie it all in, the transitional cup pulls on the drawers and the updated gooseneck faucet also in satin nickel presents uniformity and a classic aesthetic to this updated kitchen design.

Excited to share another before and after with you all! This wet bar was transformed tremendously with carefully planned design elements. A lighter paint on the cabinets and walls with a white quartz countertop was intuitive in establishing a modern aesthetic with clean lines.

The built in cabinets are equipped with ample storage for entertaining with beautiful glass doors to display stemware while the wine cooler features a stainless steel construction with the client’s favorite drinks.

The sleek timeless pulls and faucet in a brass finish add visual interest and style while the chevron glass tile creates texture and depth to this beautiful wet bar. Last but not least, the semi flush lighting completes this remodel with a symmetrical and modern glam!

The little details that make a big difference! I want to spotlight this beautiful French country chair by Ebanista, hand carved with a white gold finish. It’s placed in the foyer where it not only adds a layer of interest and style, but also serves a purpose. It is paired with the perfect sized cushion by Louie Custom Drapery for a cozy, comfortable feel.

I particularly admire the versatility of this chair, as it can be used for additional seating as well. Its placement in this particular picture is seamless with the beautiful drapes and fabric on pillow by F. Schumacher & Co. Dallas. The colors also tie in harmoniously with the gorgeous area rug by JD Staron, LLC.

A before and after of a traditional study, transformed into a stunning multifunctional space. With cozy seating for entertainment to a dedicated workspace, I imagine the client working and unwinding in style!

The layout, high gloss paint by benjaminmoore.com (revere pewter) and furniture pieces were carefully designed to ensure the best of both worlds. The integration of a marble surround fireplace with a custom mantle, natural hide square-pattern area rug and the boucle sofa by Interlude Home with a curved silhouette commands a dramatic transformation. The snakeskin desk is simple yet graceful while the client’s artwork sets the tone with depth and texture. Lastly, the long-awaited woven wood blinds emit the perfect glow; making this study bright, warm, and inviting!

With the holidays approaching, we love seeing all the greenery around Christmas decor. Green happens to also be on trend in the design world as it is a nature-inspired hue that evokes feelings of harmony and tranquility.

Pictured below is one of my latest living room designs with a luxurious wood veneer wall covering by Phillip Jeffries Ltd. Instead of the traditional wallpaper, we used this beautiful geometric pattern to feature the ceiling in this room. Not only does this add warmth and natural beauty but also a modern flair!

Excited to share more pictures from the previous kitchen design! Love the function and purpose of this thoughtfully planned layout where comfort meets stunning aesthetics. Not only is it filled with ample storage all throughout, my personal favorite is the cabinetry with display to showcase your favorite glass or place setting.

The beautifully crafted lattice dining table offers the perfect central gathering space for meals and conversation and the island provides additional seating and plenty of room to prep and serve meals.

This kitchen boasts of large windows which radiates natural lighting and an additional counter space to hold your favorite recipe book, sip your morning coffee or simply enjoy some dessert. To tie it all in, the rattan counter stools, patterned wallpaper and natural rattan pendant bring in the perfect texture and warmth.

Would love to hear what you appreciate the most in your kitchen! Comment below 🙂
