Cocktail Bar Room Transformation - Bergen County NJ designer

When I met my client last year she showed me this sitting room between her dining room and kitchen and said that she wanted to turn it into “a place to have coffee in the morning and have a cocktail with friends at night.” Mission accomplished!!

Here is where we started with this space:

We removed the odd corner unit and added a built-in to go across the entire back wall with a wine fridge on one side and an opening for a sofa in the middle.

We also added a beautiful new light fixture and incorporated some fun textures with the pillows, rug and leather sofa.

Bedroom Transformation - Bergen County NJ interior designer

I am so excited to share a recently updated bedroom project. This was a blank slate project where none of the existing furniture remained (and we painted too!). The result is a soothing and serene bedroom with one of my favorite color palettes.

Here is where we started when I first saw the room a few months ago:

I love the art over the bed and how it ties the room together.

The blue color palette is continued on the wall opposite the bed as you can see with this gorgeous dressser.

Here is the before photo of this wall - the TV is the only thing that had to stay :)

I love texture of the finish and the hardware is just stunning!

There is no bad view in this room as you can see in this floor mirror.

The last section of the room is this sweet little nook.

It used to be a desk space but thankfully we were able to reclaim this area as cozy bedroom space.

Bergen County designer - Home Office Transformation

I am so happy to share this home office transformation! My client needed more storage space and a pretty background for zoom calls and we created this built-in to go behind her desk.

Here is where we started with the space:

We used the same desk but you can see that there is so much more storage now and everything is neatly hidden in the drawers and cabinets. We went with a both color for the unit and brass picture lights and a light grey countertop. The leather chair is such a lovely compliment to the color palette of the built-in.

Bergen County Kitchen Designer - Renovation Details

I am so happy to share photos of this recently renovated kitchen. We started this process about a year ago with the planning stage and then in the summer the work began and finally last week we were able to photograph the finished space. It’s stunning!!

Here is where we started with the kitchen:

You can see we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room and added more windows as well.

I really love the custom table which features an easy to clean Quartz top.

I am a big fan of open shelves in a kitchen (I have them in my own kitchen and after 8 years, no regrets!). We took the tile up to the ceiling around the shelves and the windows as well.

I absolutely love to decorate shelves - whether they are in a kitchen or in an office or built-ins by a fireplace- it makes me so happy to style a shelf. These were no exception and I really love how the wood stain came out as a nice contrast to the dark wood floors in the kitchen.

We went with a dark color for the island and the rich color goes so perfectly with the brass hardware.

Here is a closer look at the clock and pendants. Mixing metals and finishes in a kitchen really elevates the space.

The cabinets are all inset which I think is such a timeless and classic style. From this view you can also see all of the natural light that the kitchen enjoys from the additional windows and larger slider to the deck.

The pendant over the kitchen table is such a fun focal point from this side of the kitchen.

Leather stools are so practical, especially with kids for easy clean up. The legs of the stools are a similar wood tone to the open shelves.

I love the extra thick Quartz top used on the island.

Stay tuned for more from this home- we are working on the the living room now which will hopefully be wrapped up in the spring.
