A Welcoming Front Door Makeover for a Brooklyn Brownstone


If you’re looking for an easy way make your home feel more welcoming, here’s some inspiration for a quick and simple front door makeover to give your house more curb appeal. I recently teamed up with Schlage locks as their blogger ambassador for the Elevate Design Collective which you can read all about here. Schlage approached me with the task of incorporating their products into an exterior home makeover which was such a fun challenge because as an interior designer, I rarely have the opportunity to revamp the outside of a home! Enter my friend Nykia who purchased her …

Project Reveal – A Sophisticated Bedroom for Young Star Athlete

Hi guys! Excited to share a new project I finished up at the beginning of the year that was recently featured on ElleDecor.com! The room was designed for the oldest son of Yankee’s Star Pitcher CC Sabathia and his Entrepreneur/Philanthropist wife Amber who was so awesome to work with. Here is a look at what the room looked like before we started…

This was actually his younger brother’s room and was themed after the hickory hickory dock nursery rhyme. Now 5, his younger brother was ready for a big boy room so he traded rooms with Little C who’s old …

My Happy Place

As an entrepreneur I love the work that I do and wouldn’t trade it for the world but I work hard! Like ridiculous hours, often on the weekends, plus I travel quite a bit so I hardly ever have time to myself to just relax and veg out. I’m often asked “what do you like to do when you’re not working?” and I feel lame for not having some super interesting answer but the truth is, what I love to do more than anything when I have the free time is absolutely nothing! It’s such a luxury and there’s nothing …

Project Tour: Inside My Room for Design on a Dime 2016!

I recently finished up a charity design project for a wonderful organization called Housing Works that supports the HIV/AIDS community in New York. You’ve probably heard me talk about their Annual fundraiser called Design on a Dime here on the blog before. It’s a charity shopping event where interior designers create beautiful rooms and everything is sold to benefit Housing Works. This year I co-chaired the event and teamed up with Lowe’s to design a room for the event and I’m excited to show you inside the room! When you partake in an event such as this, it’s typically at …

Updating My Bedroom for Spring (Plus a Giveaway!)

Living in New York City can be overwhelming and when you combine that daily hustle and bustle with my hectic work life, there is nothing I crave more than the comforts of home. My work hours are usually long so most of the time I only get to enjoy my home in the evening hours as I’m winding down for bedtime so having a beautiful, peaceful and comfortable bedroom where I can get a good night’s sleep is a high priority…because if I don’t sleep well, I basically can’t function in life!

The key to a good night’s sleep is …

NYDJ Office Makeover

A while back I worked on a pretty fun commercial design project for NYDJ redecorating the lobby of their NYC office in Times Square. While the project was finished a couple of years ago, I’ve never shared any photos of it here on the blog so I thought it would be fun to take a look back at and show you how the project came together. If you’re not familiar with NYDJ, it’s an LA based denim label best known for its slimming jeans that make you look a size smaller (they seriously do!). You can find them at major …
