Refreshing a Washington Victorian row house

Posted on Fri, 20 Sep 2024 by KiM

A family-focused light renovation for our Downtown Washington DC clients. Our clients asked us to embark on a quick and light refresh of their quaint 2500 square feet Victorian Row house just a few blocks away. They asked for a refresh for their busy family to have a place that felt familiar whilst renovations were embarking on their larger family home.
What a pretty, neutral, and almost minimal home created by Moore House Design. Absolutely loving that canopy bed situation and the sweet bay window vignette in the living room (it’s very ‘Oda & King‘ – IYKYK, featuring a table of theirs). Photos: Zack Dezon.

Second nature – a penthouse in Tribeca

Posted on Wed, 18 Sep 2024 by KiM

I had to share another new project by Sean Anderson, one that is a bit more sophisticated than his typical spaces but when you’re working with an expansive Tribeca apartment in New York I think it goes without saying that there’s an expectation to spice it up and make it classy. Contemporary but make it Sean Anderson moody. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

Lived in and loved interiors by Emma Stevenson

Posted on Wed, 18 Sep 2024 by KiM

Emma Stevenson brings harmony and charm to every space. Crafted to be lived in and loved, embracing form and function in equal measure. She is a creator of ambience with a deep understanding of the psychology of interiors through colour and form, spaces and materials. French-born Emma works internationally but is based in London, with a team of highly skilled artisans close at hand. Her service is entirely bespoke, often encouraging custom craftsmanship for pieces that are truly unique.
It’s evident London-based designer Emma Stevenson wants her clients to fully enjoy their homes and have their spirits lifted each time they walk into a room. Full of life and the best energy, and not shying away from pattern and colour that creates so much warmth.

A moody Greek Revival home in Memphis

Posted on Mon, 16 Sep 2024 by KiM

As it always goes, Sean Anderson shares a new project and I completely fall head over heels in love and dream of selling everything I own and trying to replicate his deliciously brooding style that is always the perfect mix of light and dark (but more dark, which is in my humble opinion is the ideal ratio). This Greek Revival home in Memphis has such incredible architectural details which make his choices of colours, materials and furnishings really stand out. Every single thing in this home is perfection. Photos: Haris Kenjar.

I’d love to share one of our recent projects where we transformed a 3250 sqft builder-grade home in suburban Markham into a personalized haven for a young family. They wanted a chic, low-maintenance space that reflects their lifestyle, with a focus on functionality and timeless design. The kitchen layout was completely reimagined with a spacious island, creating an open flow into the family room. The master ensuite was designed as a spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower and a large round tub. Throughout the home, we added plenty of storage solutions to keep it clutter-free while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral tones and natural materials. 
Teresa Leung of Studio Lii created such beauty in this home that is simple yet classic and neutral yet very soothing. I can see myself playing with bits of colour and pattern and antiques in here to add some spice with this being an ideal starting point. Photos: Niamh Barry
