Montclair NJ kitchen transformation

I am so excited to share the photos from this amazing kitchen transformation in Montclair NJ. My clients have such a charming home from the 1920’s and their kitchen was in need of a makeover because it was lacking storage and space. We were able to add an additional window and functional island, as well as more cabinets, by removing a little nook in between the kitchen and dining room.

For the cabinets, we selected a really pretty green/grey color that pairs so perfectly with the soapstone countertops and new wood floors stained Early American.

I love the open shelves in this corner - we had them stained a tiny bit darker than the floors (Provincial) which is such a great contrast to the hand-cut subway tiles and cabinet color.

The farmhouse sink not only looks beautiful but provides so much space - who wouldn’t want to wash dishes right here?!

We selected the soapstone after looking at many slabs at the stoneyard and I am so thrilled with the end result. There is nothing like a natural stone, especially in a 100 year old home.

Here is a BEFORE photo so that you can see where we started. Notice how removing that nook on the left really opened up the space.

Having an additional window in the kitchen also allows for so much more natural light.

Project Reveal! Bergen County bathroom designer

I am so excited about this recently completed bathroom transformation in Bergen County NJ. This is a bathroom for my client’s teenage son and the goal was something modern and fresh. We did a twist on the black and white theme and incorporated a beautiful dark green/grey custom vanity.

Check out the leather handles on the vanity!!! And in the mirror you can see the reflection of the shower!

Project Reveal! Sitting Room- Bergen County interior designer

I stopped by my client’s house this week to get started on a new project but could not leave before taking a couple of photos of the space that we worked on 3 years ago. This is a sitting room off of the bedroom. A lot of homes have this and it can be tricky to decorate. We made it a comfortable and casual space to unwind at the end of the day and I am so happy to hear that my clients have been enjoying this spot in their home. The mirror makes quite the statement and I love how it reflects the guitar and art on the other wall.

Here is a BEFORE photo from the same angle!!

I love how the sitting room space flows so nicely with the adjoining bedroom. The bedroom is still a work in process as it’s missing the rug and night table lamps.

One more BEFORE photo because it’s just so fun to see how far we have come!!
