Living Room Bar Transformation - Bergen County interior designer

I’m so excited to share photos from a recently completed living room transformation. We updated the existing bar to create a more modern look and now it’s a stylish and functional feature of the room. I can’t decide if my favorite part is the rich green color or the marble backsplash (I’ll have to call it a tie)! As always, I love mixing metals so we added brass in the sconces and stools and kept the existing faucet.

Here is what the bar looked like before. Removing the existing wall sconce and replacing it with the two new ones made such a big difference.

Here is a look at the other side of the living room. I love this end table that we added to the space (along with the drapes, pillows and art).

Next, let’s focus on the bar details. We kept some of the original wood but painted the majority of it this gorgeous green. The marble is gorgeous so the styling decor is kept minimal.

We also added the marble to the fireplace surround which features the same wood as the bar.

The marble shelf is shallow but allows for some pretty decor to be displayed.

Bergen County Basement Transformation - NJ interior designer

I recently photographed this basement transformation and even though the basement was already a finished space, it feels brand new! My clients have teenage daughters and they wanted to be able to have a fun entertaining space that would grow with them for years to come. We created this space on one end to store snacks and drinks and display some pretty entertaining decor. I love the acrylic stools which let the indigo color of the cabinets be visible from all angles.

Here is where we started with this part of the basement:

The opposite side of the room is perfect for games and watching movies.

We kept the flooring but everything else is brand new:

There is a lot of space for hosting and we incorporated artwork done by my clients’ daughters to hang on the wall.

Here are some details of the shelf and countertop decor.

I work with a great cabinet vendor and this is the initial rendering that created to finalize the layout for the space since it can be hard to visualize something out of nothing.

Basement Renovation - Basement Bar and Office- Bergen County NJ designer

Today I am excited to share this basement renovation in Bergen County NJ. I first started working with my clients on this space about a year ago and am so happy to see it finally finished. The basement serves several functions for their family and I will start with the main area which includes the TV/hangout area along with the bar. What a fantastic place for entertaining!

Here is a photo that I took during the construction phase:

I love these leather stools at the bar and the dark Quartz countertops.

The tile is so pretty too!!

To keep the space light and airy, we went with lighter tones on the wall and floor but brought in pops of blue with the sofa, the rug and in the bar area. The media unit provides lots of storage on the bottom for toys and games and it was fun to decorate the shelves on the upper half.

Next up is the bathroom. The classic wood vanity with marble countertop really lets the blue tile shine as the star of the show!

The champagne bronze finish is the perfect pairing with the tile.

Finally, the basement also includes an office which has a sleeper sofa to double as a guest bedroom as needed.

Ramsey Bathroom transformation with green tiles

I just love this green tile so much!! I’m so happy that my client said yes to doing a bold tile around the shower/bath tub and it came out even better than I imagined. It pairs so nicely with the brushed nickel finish of the fixtures.

Here is where we started with the space- as you can see, there was white tile on the floor and wall along with a white vanity. Adding some color was definitely our goal in this transformation!

The floor tile is now a really pretty porcelain tile that looks like marble- it is timeless and really allows the green tile to be the star.

We incorporated a wood vanity which brings in some warmth to the space. It was also fun to mix metals with the black hardware on the vanity and the nickel faucet and sconce.
