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.

Dining Room / Living Room Updates in Glen Rock Home - NJ interior designer

My clients purchased this beautiful and charming nearly 100 year old home last year and we got to work before they even moved in. First we had all of the hardwood floors stained (Weathered Oak) and everything painted to give us a real blank slate for the furnishings. Installing this gorgeous chandelier made such a huge difference and stays true to the era of this historic home.

I took this photo the day that I met my clients last year

I love how this dining room is so sophisticated and timeless. The rich wood tones are classic and the upholstery is all performance fabric. We also hung airy and traditional ivory drapes with brass rods.

Here is the concept board that I created for my client:

The formal living room and dining room are open to each other with this beautiful arch between them. This living space also feels brand new!

Here is where we started with the living room:

We carried the warm wood from the dining room into this space with these nesting end tables. And the rug and pillows add some lovely color and pattern.

I loved decorating the shelves and kept everything very simple and classic. We incorporated brass in both spaces between the decor, curtain rods and the dining room chandelier.

Kitchen / Family Room Renovation - Wyckoff NJ interior designer

I am excited to share this recently renovated Wyckoff home that we started working on last year. It was well worth the wait because everything came out perfectly! The project included the main living space of the home which previously was three separate rooms. Here is a view of the new open space.

Here is where we started- you will notice that in addition to removing the wall, we also simplified the built-ins by closing up the open cubbies on the bottom half.

Taking the wall down really made such a difference and is perfect for everyday living as well as entertaining.

Previously when the kitchen was closed off it had a different floor and felt very disjointed with the rest of the main floor. We had wood floors installed and then the entire area stained with Minwax Special Walnut and I love how they came out.

I loved incorporating some color in the family room to balance out the white kitchen. The rug has so many lovely tones and we were able to have fun with the bold accent chairs. The leather ottoman is very kid-friendly and adds another layer of texture.

The drapes are a soft oatmeal and are a great contrast behind the deep blue chairs. We used a black rod because I always love to mix metals in a space.

Family Room Transformation - Bergen County interior designer

New Project Reveal! Today I am sharing a family room that I recently photographed after a furnishing project earlier this year. This room was a blank slate as my clients were moving from an apartment into a house and needed to fill this room. A big comfortable sectional was a must and we incorporated a beautiful rug and leather ottoman for a variety of textures along with some fun accent pillows.

Here is the same wall before we got started on the room.

There is great ceiling height in the space to accommodate a tall (real!) fiddle leaf fig in a pretty planter. We also did a gallery wall of prints over the sofa in modern black frames that tie into the black side table.

This wall was the perfect spot for a console table with a pretty basket for extra storage underneath.

Here is the same view “before” where you can see that we kept the same fireplace and light fixture but still made the room feel brand new.
