This weekend was jam packed with client work and I don’t think I’ve fully recovered from it yet. Major plus though is that a lot of progress got done. It’s one thing to see my plans in paper/digital form, but it’s a whole other thing to see everything in the space and see my vision come to life.
We headed into Brooklyn on Saturday to install a bunch of items in a brownstone I’m working on. My clients are really cool so along with work we get to chat and catch up. Plus they have a little guy who is super cute and fun to play around with.
Our original inspiration for the living room was the living room from It’s Complicated:
We loved the burnt orange with pops of navy and the overall neutral and cozy setting. We did want to make it a bit younger though so I made some additions and here is a sneak peek of what we are doing:
We are all really happy with how it is turning out. Of course installs never go as planned and we had our hand saw sort of go up in flames and smoke and had to head back to L.I. and purchase a new saw, make some cuts at home and head back into BK. Let’s just say it was a long day, but well worth it.
On Sunday we wrapped up a furniture project for a client and dropped it off. I was sad to see it go so I snapped a bunch of pictures before it left.
Armoire with mirrored doors:
Pop of pink inside:
Then a little of both worlds:
While Jon was doing that I used the sunlight to my advantage and snapped some pictures of Jon’s artwork. (I swear the etsy shop is coming soon.)
One of my favorite mini pieces:
All in all it was an eventful weekend. With not a lot of rest, but a lot of accomplishments.
P.S. We had a doctor’s appointment this morning and found out the sex of the baby! We will reveal all tomorrow. Need to find a clever way to spill the beans.
Those gender reveal parties are fun! All of our immediate family couldn’t wait so they were told right away via text. Not very exciting, but everyone is happy just to know. Trying to figure out a cute picture to do to reveal to all of my lovely blog readers. 🙂

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 […]
The armoire is just gorgeous. It looks like it cost hundreds of dollars!
I bet it’s a girl… or a boy!
Your husbands art is so beautiful – lucky you! And congrats on your new baby!!!!
Seriously can’t wait for the etsy shop!
LOVE the armoire, so unique!
You should have a “gender reveal” party – you cut the cake and reveal the sex of the baby by the color of the frosting inside! Check it out on this blog: http://www.ontobaby.com/2011/07/mel-andys-gender-reveal-party/

Is that coral/tangerine linen on that living room chair? Oh, it’s so pretty! And what a great special treat inside the armoire–lucky, lucky client!
