Admittedly I do not specialize in traditional decor but occasionally enjoy delving into this arena. My clients with The High Road property last summer (Steve Keith - builder and Lisa-Marie Contaldi with Intero Real Estate) contacted me again for their new project in Tarrytown. A contemporary craftsman with lots of great details and the big dream kitchen everyone is looking for these days. Every bedroom has its own bathroom and it even has a 3rd floor/rooftop kitchen nestled in the giant trees that surround the home. The clients opted for just the downstairs staging to warm up the space but wanted to keep it leaning towards the contemporary side as far as decor. I think I found a pretty good middle ground. The entire first floor has TONS of open shelving that of course needs to be addressed, so I carefully selected a mix of books, vases, sculpture and other items that filled in the space without overwhelming it.

I also did a fun job with Megan Gattis at Avenue One for her clients on Bunny Run. As if the name of the street wasn’t charming enough, the house is a wonderful little cottage surrounded by some amazing plant and tree filled grounds that truly feel like you are exploring The Secret Garden. With wall to wall seagrass carpeting and plantation shutters it was easy for me to find the design scheme in “Tommy Bahama meets Martha Stewart.”
