Kitchen with a navy island - Bergen County kitchen designer

Yesterday I checked in on a kitchen project that I’ve been working on in Ramsey. The newly painted navy island looks amazing with the new pendants and stools! I love the combination of the brown stools (with such fun detailing) against the navy. The previous island was wood and when combined with the wood floors and the wood table and chairs it was a lot of brown wood. Painting it navy made such a HUGE difference. And allowed us to bring in the super cool brown stools now that there is a contrast.

I selected the pendants to replace the old ones because I love how open they are and the black coordinates with the legs on the stools.

We are just waiting on one more item to come in for the open shelving that I styled and a new rug for under the kitchen table……then I can post a full reveal!!

Here is the BEFORE photo - my client already had a beautiful new kitchen but needed help with the finishing touches. So I found new lighting (pendants as well as a light fixture over the table). island stools, shelf styling, a wall clock, new fabric for seat cushions and banquette, rug for under the table. and new island color.

Stay tuned!! I can’t wait to share the final kitchen photos!!

Little Boy Nursery Design - Bergen County NJ decorator

Today I want to share a little more about the process of working together on a space. I’m sharing an AFTER photo of a nursery that I designed for a client renovating their house. It’s always so fun to see the finished product and I want to share how we got to the finish line in this adorable space. I love this customized wall art and how it pairs with the dark navy dresser - these are pieces that will stay in the room for many years as they don’t scream “baby!!”. The rug is super soft and a perfect neutral tone. It was fun adding the star stickers to the wall to add a little whimsy to the space.

How did we get here? Let’s start with the concept board that I presented to my client.

The next step after presenting the concept board was showing my client a rendering of the room to better visualize what the end result would look like.

And now the room is done and ready to enjoy :) More photos to come soon!

Glen Rock NJ interior designer

Last weekend I had such a fun job site visit with clients in Glen Rock who are getting ready to move in to their brand new home. We met up to finalize paint colors and floor stain so I took some photos to share so that you can see a glimpse of the progress. Here is the mudroom with fun herringbone tile. Even covered in dust it looks great!!

Next up are photos of the master bathroom which is looking gorgeous with lots of white and marble tile!

Here is the double vanity:

And finally a peek at the floor stain - I love early American!! It’s not too dark and it shows off the beautiful grain of the wood:

Now that it’s finally spring outside, why not bring some of that inside your home? Getting fresh flowers is such a simple way of adding warmth to any space. Here is a simple arrangement that I picked up at Trader Joes and put in my classic white oversized vase from Pottery Barn. I move this vase around my house as needed because it is so versatile that looks good anywhere.

If you are short on time, I just clip a branch from a tree in my backyard in a pinch if I just want to quickly add some greenery to a vase.

What are your favorite flowers to display in your home?
