Basement Renovation - Basement Bar and Office- Bergen County NJ designer

Today I am excited to share this basement renovation in Bergen County NJ. I first started working with my clients on this space about a year ago and am so happy to see it finally finished. The basement serves several functions for their family and I will start with the main area which includes the TV/hangout area along with the bar. What a fantastic place for entertaining!

Here is a photo that I took during the construction phase:

I love these leather stools at the bar and the dark Quartz countertops.

The tile is so pretty too!!

To keep the space light and airy, we went with lighter tones on the wall and floor but brought in pops of blue with the sofa, the rug and in the bar area. The media unit provides lots of storage on the bottom for toys and games and it was fun to decorate the shelves on the upper half.

Next up is the bathroom. The classic wood vanity with marble countertop really lets the blue tile shine as the star of the show!

The champagne bronze finish is the perfect pairing with the tile.

Finally, the basement also includes an office which has a sleeper sofa to double as a guest bedroom as needed.

Living Room Transformation with gallery wall - Bergen County decorator

I am so happy to share this recent Bergen County living room transformation. We kept the floors and paint color (and the piano) but replaced all of the furniture and added wall decor to make the room feel brand new. I especially love how the gallery wall came out!

Here is where we started with the space:

There is a cozy new leather chair in the corner and there is more seating now in the space.

We kept the piano but added some pretty art above it and the new storage piece is perfect for hiding some toys.

I love the black nesting tables for the coffee table rather than another wooden piece of furniture.

From NYC to Bergen County- Project Reveal - Ridgewood interior designer

My clients first contacted me last October when they were in the process of buying their first home in Bergen County after living in NYC with their young kids. The home they were purchasing did not need any construction / renovation right away but they needed help with furnishing and decorating. Because they were coming from a NYC apartment that was smaller than this new house, we were starting from scratch for the whole first floor. I am so happy that everything is finally installed and we had our photo shoot last week. Come take a tour!

Let’s start with the entryway - I love this console table paired with the round mirror and if you look closely there is a fun woven strap detail on the mirror.

As you can see in th e mirror, the opposite wall is a bench with hooks as a drop zone for the family and guests.

Next you walk into an open space which is the main family room of the home. We added built-ins on the one side of the TV to hide some of the electronics related to the TV and it gave us an opportunity to add some decor.

Here is where we started with this space:

The round coffee table is very kid friendly but also so pretty!

There is a console table behind the sofa which was a perfect spot to display family photos.

You can see from some of the earlier photos that the dining room is part of this big open space.

Here is the before photo of the dining room area.

The art has such a beautiful texture and pairs so well with the new light fixture.

The office is another space that we worked on and I love that my client’s husband wanted to go bold with the walls in here!

I wish I had a better “before” photo but it was basically an empty room :)

NYC apartment bedroom transformation Upper West Side

I am excited to share my first NYC project - an Upper West Side bedroom transformation! My client wanted to refresh her space and they needed to add storage to the room. We also added a beautiful grasscloth wallpaper behind the bed which really made a lovely accent wall.

I love the combination textures between the wood in the dresser to the rug and bed. The color palette is very serene.

Here is the before photo from when I first met my client several months ago.

Instead of a dresser on the wall opposite the bed like you see in the before photo, we did a wall of built-ins.

On the other side of the bed, we have this cabinet piece for even more storage.

Here is a before photo of the same wall.

We fit so many pretty details into this space and I am so happy with how it all came together!
