Saturday morning we loaded up the car with a furniture drop off, items for an install and bags of fabric samples to go over with a client.
First stop was dropping off this lovely x-bench at one of my favorite clients home:
Not only did a get to see the custom piece in it’s new home, but I got to play around with my clients new baby! Such fun. Jon got to hang a couple of mirrors while a got to snuggle with a little 3 month old.
Next stop was at another clients apt who is also a favorite (full disclousure all of my clients are favorites of mine. Decorating is such a personal thing that it’s only natural to get along with and enjoy your clients company. 🙂 ) to finalize some design choices.
I think we are going with this fabric in the living room!:
After that meeting we stopped at Artichoke Pizza a very well know pizza place in Manhattan that many say has the best pizza in all of the city.
Yummy artichoke and spinach slice:
It really was delicious. It is on the small side so there is always a line and there is no seating, but totally worth it.
Last client project was more a sister project than official client project. After pizza we then headed down to Wall St and found a parking spot right outside my sister’s apt. A total victory!
Her living room originally looked like this:
Then we added some white window panels, rug and seating area and dining nook:
Then we got to work on Saturday and now we have this:
Dining Nook: (Don’t ya love all the wires. Sorry about that, but we simply ran out of steam to make them nice and neat. )
A touch of orange and animal print!
Plus you know I had to give them a little bit of luck and add some elephants:
The space is teeny tiny so it’s a bit difficult to get a perfect shot of the gallery wall and sorry for no natural light in these shots, but the time we finished it was late at night. We still need to add a couple little things, but it’s practically there.
Afterwards we decided to take a little us time and walked over to the Seaport and enjoyed the view:

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]

Your sister is one lucky lady – LOVE the pinstripes on the walls AND the sofa. Perfect for the tiny space!
Fun weekend! That's coming from an interior obsessed girl like you!! I love the wall of stripes and the dining area!

Where is the X-bench from? Love the details on the frame! (And the pizza looks delicious – adding it to my to-do list!)
You worked wonders in that tiny space.

The bench is beautiful! I just saw this one at Target and it's really nice in person. I think it would be easy to recover too…
