In addition to working and playing at home, we’re sure most of you are doing a lot more cooking and baking at home. We’re adding to our ‘at home’ series with a look at classic and clean white kitchens.  Keep the food coming!

As much of the country transitions to working from home and all the daily changes that come with it, we can’t help but think how useful these home work spaces are at a time like this. Whether it’s in a secluded space meant for productivity or your kitchen table, we appreciate all of our colleague’s…

As many of our daily routines have adjusted towards staying indoors, we are taking a look at some spaces that are ideal for little ones. Play spaces everywhere are now doubling as school AND play space. We are remembering to be supportive of each other during these long days inside with the hopes of safer,…

With everyone spending a little extra time at the sink these days, we thought we would ‘spring forward’ with these fun kids’ vanities customized for an Upper West Side project. These bathrooms were designed with a very neutral tile palette to allow the bold colors of the vanity fronts and mirror frames to really stand…

Celebrate all things red and pink with us this week. Whether it’s millwork details, wallpaper, lighting, or furniture, these colors have become widely recognized agents for making bold statements while keeping the overall tone bright and playful.

This Brooklyn Heights townhouse was delicately renovated to update the HVAC and plumbing systems while preserving original mouldings and proportions of this grand, twenty five foot wide home. Subtle alterations allowed more light into the spaces, such as splaying the third floor skylight opening and adding a frosted glass corner to an interior shower. Photography:…
