Our biggest splurge was the built-in dining room hutch. My client has many beautiful china sets and silverware and before she had it stored in numerous furniture pieces around the room making it feel cluttered. By taking this one wall and maximizing the height we were able to give her the storage she needed and minimized the need for so much furniture in the room. By painting it this gorgeous deep grey we get away from having too much wood in the room.

The clients bought a new construction house in Bay Head, NJ with an architectural style that was very traditional and quite formal, not beachy. For our design process I created the story that the house was owned by a successful ship captain who had traveled the world and brought back furniture and artifacts for his home. The furniture choices were mainly based on English style pieces and then we incorporated a lot of accessories from Asia and Africa. The only nod we really made to “beachy” style was to do some art with beach scenes and/or bathing beauties (original painting in the study) (vintage series of black and white photos of 1940’s bathing scenes, not shown) ,the pillow fabric in the family room has pictures of fish on it , the wallpaper in the study is actually sand dollars and we did a seagull wallpaper in the downstairs bath (not shown).
