Welcome to the story of a charming orchard farmhouse kitchen that has been given a new lease on life. This project was no small task, as it involved a complete gutting down to the studs. The house, with over a century of history within its walls, was in need of a change.
The space is the heart of a home for a family of six - two adults and four kids. They needed a kitchen that could handle the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. Every inch of the room had to be thoughtfully designed for cooking, cleaning, and storage.
Ready for the next phase in life after selling the home where she raised her children and moving into her new husband's home, this client had a nice budget to replace worn-out materials, install high-end appliances, and purchase the furniture of her dreams.
Honoring the 100-year-old Georgian style brick house, remodeled to have an open concept in 1999 with current materials, the new design concept was to revive the character of the home.
A neglected area directly off the entry and living room of a 100-year-old Georgian style brick house was given a new lease on life with color, pattern, and texture. With only 70 square feet to work with, the small-scale space was transformed into a cozy reading room using antiques from the client’s collection with the addition of wallpaper, leather chairs and lighting.
The Fern Room, fondly named by the client, has plenty of natural daylight streaming in through the windows which are southeast facing. It is the perfect spot to sit with a morning cup of coffee while reading the paper.
Built in 1964, this condo had all its original fittings and was used year-round. The space underwent a complete teardown to be able to implement more modern amenities for heating, plumbing, light fixtures, appliance, and furniture.
I approached the design in terms of envisioning it as a small trailer or recreational boat–ultimately, a cozy, comfortable space for skiers and hikers.
Small evaluation room for plastic surgery patients. Functionally needed to accommodate a very expensive skin evaluation machine and skin care products, large TV to view exam results with space for technician and patients. An unused sofa was reupholstered in a high-end, softly patterned Lee Jofa fabric, custom made pillows and silk drapes were added to pull shut for privacy. Custom made cabinet and antique Asian cabinet add warm wood tones.
