I loved how inviting and elegant this living room turned out. Just makes you relax as you step in.

Fall is a charming season but I’ll miss the spring with its ability to bring everything to life. Roses are still blooming but slowly going to sleep. Until next spring.

Timeless classic.

Love this color palette and clean lines which help this room appear visually larger than it is.

Craft room redo. My fave part were the custom cabinet hardware that looked like the family’s beloved bulldog.

Come along for trades day on one of our projects and see how we kick start renovations!

As a mom to 2 girls and 2 dogs, I don’t usually work 9-5. I’m up early texting with crews of what’s going on that day, get kids on the bus, work and tbh play tennis as it’s my mental break. I end up working nights while driving kids around and I do a fair share of weekend work. Above has nothing to do with this gorgeous bedroom we did other than I would have hard time getting out of that bed.

This gorgeous home we renovated is coming to the market in Wilton. Don’t sleep on it - this home really has it all and no expenses were spared. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/72-Seir-Hill-Rd-Wilton-CT-06897/57420601_zpid/

Why is the contractor a no-show?

I know, I know these post fire photos are not a fair before pics but that doesn’t lessen the tremendous amount of work that went in to get this house fixed up. I don’t like doing any repair work such as this, it’s psychologically hard on clients and sometimes in me. I was talking to the architect and realized I had stepped on burnt baby toys. 🥲 No one got hurt!We completed structural changes, all new electrical and plumbing to bring the house up to code and obviously the aesthetics. As exhausting as it was, it was so incredibly rewarding to hand they keys over on time and on budget to this family and tell them I made this nightmare go away.
