Celebrating 5 years in Business + McGee & Co shared my work!

Earlier in January, Christie Adams Design celebrated 5 years in business!! The time has really flown by, especially this past year which was super busy as I worked with 110 clients. Right before the end of the year, I got a fun surprise when I got the notification on instagram that McGee &Co shared my work!! I quickly took a screenshot and sent a text to my clients to share my excitement!

Thank you all for coming along on this journey with me - I have enjoyed meeting so many clients whether it’s been an in-home consultation, a Face-time virtual consultation or doing a room (or whole house!) renovation/ transformation. And every comment on my blog, instagram and Facebook post is always appreciated!

Montclair NJ kitchen transformation

I am so excited to share the photos from this amazing kitchen transformation in Montclair NJ. My clients have such a charming home from the 1920’s and their kitchen was in need of a makeover because it was lacking storage and space. We were able to add an additional window and functional island, as well as more cabinets, by removing a little nook in between the kitchen and dining room.

For the cabinets, we selected a really pretty green/grey color that pairs so perfectly with the soapstone countertops and new wood floors stained Early American.

I love the open shelves in this corner - we had them stained a tiny bit darker than the floors (Provincial) which is such a great contrast to the hand-cut subway tiles and cabinet color.

The farmhouse sink not only looks beautiful but provides so much space - who wouldn’t want to wash dishes right here?!

We selected the soapstone after looking at many slabs at the stoneyard and I am so thrilled with the end result. There is nothing like a natural stone, especially in a 100 year old home.

Here is a BEFORE photo so that you can see where we started. Notice how removing that nook on the left really opened up the space.

Having an additional window in the kitchen also allows for so much more natural light.

Master Bedroom Makeover - Bergen County NJ interior designer

I know everyone loves before and after photos so today I am sharing a master bedroom project that is recently completed. The top photo is the one I took the first time that I went to my client’s new home. It’s a big space and has a lot of potential. The wallpaper was removed along with the wall to wall carpet and we started with a blank slate which is my favorite type of project.

Here is a closer view - the night tables are very large and really fill the space perfectly.

Here you see the little reading nook chair next to the window. I’m loving the rug too!

Here is the concept board that I presented my client so that you can see all of the elements in the space.

Here is the rendering of the room - you may notice that ultimately the bed was situated along the opposite wall than what is shown in the rendering which was a last minute change on move-in day.

Built -in Love - Wyckoff NJ interior decorator

Just sharing a little glimpse of this family room built-in with custom barn-doors to cover the TV and reclaimed wood mantle. I love designing built-ins to look like they were always meant to exist in a space.

With these family room built ins- I had the carpenter do the same style shaker inset cabinets as in the adjoining kitchen and had them painted the same color as the island cabinets:
