Classic dining room refresh! Refurbished and reupholstered our client’s existing furniture. The timeless Venetian Fortuny pendant adds an elegant upgrade to the space with a soft glow in silk at night. Birds and peonies are the highlight of the Sanderson Design Group USA patterned wallcovering which encompasses the room with style.

Kitchen transformation! We had to share the BEFORE pictures of this stunning modern kitchen. Our wonderful client hired us to make her historic Lakeview condo curated in all aspects. Mixing the vintage with modern, and to really “go for it” in her kitchen. The room is small so it was a puzzle to maximize the space, and we played to the height of the room. The cabinet color and overall touches create layers of interest which are both rich and bright. Our client trusted our team to do what we do best, and she is thrilled with the result both in style and functionality 💫

Playful, bright and unexpected colors mix in this client’s whimsical living room. The blues of the custom built-in and green sofa upholstery are enhanced by the accent elements throughout the room. A feature is the modern Italian Murano glass chandelier in lavender. A truly breathtaking piece! 💫
