MY STYLE:
I’m drawn to clothing with style, balance, and color, all
things I use in my interior design work.
A New Yorker from birth, I had to learn to let go when I
moved to Florida in December of 2010.
My early career was in fashion in NYC. My sense of style and
color is instinctive. Interior Design came naturally.
Even in Florida, when in doubt, I reach for clothes in black. I can lighten up the somber tone with a brightly colored camisole, belt, scarf, shoes, or lots of bling.
In NY the idea was to fit in and look professional. In Florida, professionalism is just as important, but I feel comfortable adding a bit of whimsy or dazzle to my personal style like a big hat. That aesthetic has percolated into my design style. I love creating a beautifully elegant space, but like to add something fun or unexpected.
I will always miss the silence after a snowfall in winter, turning all
outdoors into a sanctuary.
I will always miss the vibrant change of colors in Fall.
Although there are specific things I miss about NY, I love
that in Florida, anything goes. Take fashion, for example. In winter, you’ll
see natives in boots,
leather, and dark colors, while visitors stroll around in
white or pastel pants, bathing suit tops, and carry straw bags.
HOME STYLE:
I love sophisticated, elegant interiors, but always decorate
so that clients feel comfortable and welcome in their own home. I create
something classic and timeless.
I still bring New York into my design mix, incorporating black and neutrals, but I now find myself
adding pops of saturated color.
One of my favorite color schemes for public rooms is
graphite with ivory or white, adding in accents of organic wood tones such as
table tops, bases, stone surfaces, cabinetry… you get the idea. It’s the best for showcasing a great view.
The sky’s the limit for color schemes in baths, bedrooms,
and private spaces, though I like to tie together all the rooms in a home using
one or more of the colors selected for the main rooms.
Buy the highest quality pieces you can afford and keep them
neutral. Express your personality through accessories. A meticulously
constructed sofa is like a beautiful black cocktail dress. It can fit into any space and style.
You can’t have too many colorful pillows or throws. I use
them to change off from season to season. They can totally transform the feel
of a room.
If an interior doesn't reflect the person who lives in it,
the home simply becomes a showpiece.
COMPANY STYLE:
As a boutique firm, I have the ability to offer flexible fee arrangements without sacrificing the level of service I provide.
