Gallery Categories & Representative Project Descriptions

Living Rooms — Comfort & Flow

Project: Brownstone Living Room — Scale & Light

- Challenge: Tall windows, street noise, and period moldings that required sympathetic treatment.

- Solution: Custom interlined draperies emphasizing height, reupholstered settee, coordinated cushions, and a restored console for media. The result: improved acoustics, better light control, and preserved architectural detail.

Bedrooms — Restful, Functional Retreats

Project: Master Suite Headboard & Draperies

- Challenge: Lack of a defined focal point and poor window light control.

- Solution: Custom upholstered headboard with channel tufting, blackout draperies for better sleep quality, and bedside storage solutions. The room now balances serene textures with practical storage.

Kitchens & Dining — Durable, Timeless Finishes

Project: Brownstone Living Room — Scale & Light

- Challenge: Tall windows, street noise, and period moldings that required sympathetic treatment.

Window Treatments — Functional Aesthetics

Project: High-Rise Apartment Motorized Shades

- Challenge: Large, hard-to-reach windows with daytime glare.

- Solution: Motorized roller shades integrated into a smart home system. The client benefits from convenient controls and clean sightlines when shades are retracted.

Upholstery & Restoration — Craftsmanship in Detail

Project: Antique Wingback Repair

- Challenge: Worn frame and compressed cushions on a cherished family heirloom.

- Solution: Structural reinforcement, period-accurate upholstery techniques, and down-wrapped cushions for comfort. The chair now retains its character and comfort.

Custom Furniture — Designed for Life

Project: Built-in Media & Storage Wall

- Challenge: Juggling storage needs with a single focal wall in a compact living room.

- Solution: A custom media wall with concealed storage, integrated lighting, and a veneered finish to match existing trim. The result maximized storage without compromising style.

Detailed Case Studies & Behind-the-Scenes Insights

Case Study: Studio Optimization — Function Meets Style

- Before: A tight studio lacked defined zones and adequate storage.

- Intervention: Custom fold-up bed with upholstered headboard, a slipcovered sofa, and floating shelving with concealed storage.

- Outcome: Multi-use living area, better organization, and a consistent palette that visually expands the space.

Case Study: Restoration & Integration — Heirlooms with Contemporary Interiors

- Before: A mismatched interior with a set of sentimental antiques alongside modern furniture.

- Intervention: Restore antiques to structural soundness, refinish to harmonize finish tones, and design custom upholstery to bridge modern and traditional textures.

- Outcome: Cohesive interiors that honor family pieces while creating a contemporary, livable home.
