My client's very first words to me were "please don't make it look like a decorator was here!" This is what they had said in the first home that we worked on together. When they were looking to move to this house and we walked through, the Mrs turned to me and said, "so how can we do that again but even better? " What a canvas we had here in Montclair NJ with full views of Manhattan!!! The project entailed 6 bathroom renovations, full interior decorating, and my favorite, the kitchen. We opened up the kitchen and created a U-shaped island-home to the constant influx of teenagers and their friends. Although modern and edgy with its Poggenpohl cabinets and chocolate walls, it's warmth and spark comes from the traditional lighting fixtures that we had used in their former home. To me this house blends the warmth of the suburbs with the posh of the city.
