sophisticated comfort, refined elegance, and spaces designed for serenity…this charming chappaqua home renovation has finally come to life.

warm and elegant entryway
refined elegance greets you from the moment you enter this chic, suburban retreat. we used a combination of smooth and sumptuous textures, stunning gold details, and a soothing color palette to create that peaceful first impression. to ground the space, we capped the design off with deep noir accents in the dramatic allied maker light fixture and lovely painted railing.

this fireplace received a fresh and fabulous facelift that commands the room. sophisticated black stone acts as an anchor, while the art and circa lighting wall sconces complement it beautifully. flanked by two freshly painted built-ins offer necessary storage while displaying contemporary art, making this focal wall both stylish and intentional. what can i say? it’s what we do best.
timeless and elevated dining room

you knew i couldn’t leave without sharing a fully-stocked bar, right? the bar is conveniently located right next to the dining area. (you can actually see it peeking out of the doorway two photos up!) this strategic placement means that guests won’t have to travel very far for that second glass.
that wraps up our tour for now, but stay tuned for the next phase: the family room, kitchen, master bedroom, and yoga studio. in the meantime, if you’re inspired and ready to begin your own home transformation, let’s start the conversation.
