Center city row home redesign of first floor living spaces for a young family. The client had some traditional heirlooms that they wanted to incorporate into a more transitional design. We also added a custom built in to maximize storage and display.

This fun project was a collaboration with two young sisters who had outgrown their rooms and we wanted to give them a fun, fresh design that they could grow into through their teens. They loved the same wallpaper, so we used it in two different color ways in different ways in each room. In the pink room, we added wall panels and in the green room we took a space between two closets to add a built in reading nook complete with a small crystal chandelier and shaped valance.

I worked with Meadowbank Designs on this gut renovation of an Okie style farmhouse. The family wanted a comfortable space with a "Ralph Lauren" feel and elements of historical details throughout. We added reclaimed ceiling beams in the family room and kitchen and incorporated some antique lighting fixtures and furniture with new pieces to give the home a lived in feel.

Meadowbank Designs helped a young family wanted a clean, transitional style that was family friendly. We added seagrass wallpaper in the family room with a large, comfortable sectional. he dining room took on a more formal, traditional feel, but the monochromatic gray palette updated the classic space.

This family beach house was a new construction project with Meadowbank Designs. We payed close attention to every detail to make all of the upholstery, pillows, window treatments, and bedding completely custom.

This historic farmhouse renovation was updated with a custom fireplace with built ins, adding an island to increase kitchen functionality, and adding a mix of classic neutral upholstery with more contemporary pieces.

An outdated kitchen was transformed with a new, open layout with a large center island. White cabinets, edison bulb pendants and beautiful granite counters instantly update the space.

While at Studio 882, I worked with Dallas Shaw (fashion illustrator and social media star) on a redesign of her living room. We wanted a "California Cool" vibe so we mixed various neutral textures and materials with hints of brass and a luxurious mix of fabrics.
