The furniture is in at last and lighting has been hung, now it's time for accessories- lamps, artwork, etc. We installed a new granite table top and painted the walls Stratton Blue by Benjamin Moore. Furniture and lighting were kept modern due to the architecture of the condominium complex.

Barrington, RI updates- 3
It's getting good now, fixtures are being hung, paint is going up and I've never been so excited to see plumbing! Everything is coming together well and the end is in sight! Window coverings have been ordered and the carpet is about to go in...

Sandwich Nursery- Twin Boys!
The nursery had to be special. This is the woman that takes care of my daughter, and she's amazing at it. I don't know what we are going to do without her, but I wish her and her family all of the best, but most of all- really easy babies...
We began the nursery with bumpers from Serena and Lilly. An aqua Madras plaid with red accents. The sheets are white with red stars. Too cute.
Serena and Lilly is the greatest nursery bedding as far as style and quality, very tasteful, fun, but never tacky. Perfect. I highly recommend them, they are a bit on the higher end, but sometimes you have to treat yourself.
For they twin boys we wanted to create a fun and cute room without being too babyish. I ended up using five different blues along with Atrium White for the walls. The ceiling was a soft sky blue, trim was a darkish navy and stripes alternated between a medium strength aqua to a lighter shade aqua. The pinstripe was in a medium navy.
Cribs are in an espresso finish, more pics to come...

Barrington, RI updates- 2
We're in the final stretch! Paint is going on, finish carpentry is wrapping up and counters are going in.
The kitchen is perfect. The pulls and knobs from Top Knobs are in an antique pewter finish that looks like fine silver jewelry. A great compliment for the mahogany cabinets. The 10' island is painted a linen white with a 2" mahogany top. Counters on the mahogany cabinets are in a honed black stone with an ogee edge. The backsplash will be a beautiful, earthy tile with hints of blue, creme and brown- hand made in New Hampshire.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of the lighting go in, it will finish off the rooms nicely, more jewelry for the home!
We have ordered living room furniture and beginning to select window treatments and wall papers. Very exciting. I'm sure the owners are more than anxious to see everything finished.
The mahogany floors will be finished soon.
Here are some of the latest photos:

Historic Harwich
A wonderful Greek Revival home filled with details that you just don't find everyday, it's a special house that I'm thrilled to be working on.
My favorite room is the library. Look at that moulding and those dark doors! The walls will become the color of a terra cotta flowerpot and this will become the couples library/sit-and-drink wine with friends room. 
The floors will be sanded next week and finished with a natural, clear finish. New paint colors for all the rooms have been selected and will be completed after the floors are done. From there- furniture and lighting.
This young couple is from NYC and have a great sense of style. Lillian August furnishings mixed with modern art. I love it!

The plaster is drying at last! The house is really coming along now, floors and finish carpentry will be starting soon. After months of planning and selecting materials we are all anxious to see it come together. I am the most excited to see the custom mahogany kitchen installed, it will be amazing thanks to Jutras Woodworking of Smithfield, RI.

My latest project in Barrington, RI. A wonderful 5,000+ sq ft home that is being built by Meridian Custom Homes of Providence, RI. This company so far has been really wonderful to work with. We have just completed bath fixtures, tile selections and kitchen design. More photos to be added as we continue. Completion date 10/2009.
Details: Cotuit, Ma
I was hired through a local architectural firm, Archi-Tech Associates, to help their client with lighting, paint, rug and tile selections. Using my favorite lighting company, Visual Comfort, and local resources we created a warm and historical looking home with touches of whimsy. Wool rug by Ralph Lauren. Hanging pendant light is original to the house and rewired.
The doors are a great touch with oil rubbed bronze hardware.

New Seabury, Cape Cod
We decorated this wonderful summer home in about three months. It was completely empty when we began the project and it was a lot of fun to be a part of.
My goal was to create a comfortable and unique home for this young family. Furnishings were chosen for their design, durability and classic character.
Antiques were mixed with new furnishings to create a sense of history, wallpapers from England were put in several areas to add texture, pattern and whimsy. Our color palette ranged from coral to beach glass, with the main living area and stair well painted deep camel.
We wanted the house to feel light for Summer and also fantastic in other months.
Final photos will be coming soon, a lot has been added since these photos- draperies, accessories and more furniture. Stay tuned..

Cotuit Updates
Some recent photos of a house in Cotuit that is beginning the accessory stage. We have found our major pieces and now its time to add personality. This is a wonderful client that loves older pieces mixed with new. (I got a little funky with Photoshop on one of these...it looked better than my picture.)
