Ridgewood Breakfast room transformation - NJ decorator

I am so excited to share photos of this transformation of the breakfast room in this Ridgewood home. It is such a bright and happy space for my clients to share many meals together.

We went dark with a sleek black metal table and the classic woven-strap chairs to contrast with the soft white walls and linen fixture.

Here is what it looked like before we painted, installed a new light fixture and selected all new furniture.

I love the sight lines into the living room from the table - what a view!! Here you can also get a closer look at the beautiful linen drum shade fixture.

We’ve come a long way!

Ridgewood Living Room Transformation - Bergen County designer

I am so excited to share this Ridgewood living room transformation. Many people have a formal living room in their home that rarely gets use. But my clients wanted to create a room where they could unwind after a long day and listen to music and have more of a kid-free space separate from their kid friendly family room.

Here is a before photo- you will notice that in addition to new paint color and furnishings, we also had a beautiful light fixture installed where previously there was only recessed lighting.

Here is a closer photo of the record player displaying some of their favorite albums. And the mirror is a big statement piece at 7’ tall.

I love the classic fireplace on this side of the room.

Here is a before/after photo - see how we removed that display cabinet when we had the room repainted? It was in an odd place in the room and it looks much cleaner without it.

Here is the Concept Board that I presented to my clients:

I am soo excited to see it finally come to life!

Ridgewood Family Room Transformation - NJ interior designer

I am so excited to share this Ridgewood family room transformation! This beautiful home is from the 1930’s and the family room features lots of natural light. This is such a comfortable family friendly space with lots of seating and a mix of lovely textures and patterns.

The custom media console is a combination of industrial steel and leather.

Here is a side by side before and after shot:

The other side of the room features a beautiful built-in cabinet.

Here is what it looked like before!

I love selecting pillows for sofas and pairing different colors and patterns.

Kitchen Styling Made Simple! My Favorite Things!

I love open shelving in kitchens to display pretty things but it can be overwhelming for some people to figure out what looks good for all to see. It’s also lovely to have some decor on countertops - just a simple vase makes a big impact.

Below I compiled a shopping grid of some of my favorite decor items for the kitchen. If you look closely, you will see that many of the items appear in my own kitchen as well as in client projects seen below,

I love real stems and greenery in the kitchen but there are some great faux options out there now as well.

Happy Shopping!
