A relaxed home made for entertaining friends and welcoming pets, Gail Davis designed her own sanctuary. Filled with marvelous color, texture, and natural light, this historic renovation is anything but stuffy.

In a space that began very masculine, I was commissioned to bring a feminine level of elegance to this home office. Custom drapery, oversized lighting, textural fabrics and metallic accents juxtaposed rich mahogany wood and heavy millwork.

The Cornell Inn located in Lenox, Massachusetts is a privately owned bed and breakfast. I designed the room to be a writer's retreat where guest could have a quiet restful meditative experience.

I had the privilege of designing the guest bedroom in the Princeton Aspire Design & Home Show House. As the guest transition across the threshold from "public space" to "private space", this guest bedroom was crafted to feel like a true respite.

I designed the master bedroom suite of the Aspire Design and Home Show House in Bernardsville, New Jersey.
Because the show house partner was the Connie Dwyer Foundation, I designed the space for my mother, who is a breast cancer survivor. I wanted the space to be a place of respite for anyone who would have to experience recovery.

THE VALERIE FUND
SHOW HOUSE
I chose the servants hallway & was tasked by my designer friend to also do the laundry room. I wanted to pay homage to my family who have worked in folks homes. I started with a strong happy color, layered art work on top, allowing the art to be visceral. In the laundry room, I added fun wallpaper with a dark molding outfitted with a bar where there would have been laundry supplies.

MODERN
BACHELOR PAD
This newly single bachelor wanted an adult space to entertain friends & family; as well as a space for him to unwind from a busy day in the office.
I immediately wanted to wrap this space in wallpaper accented with blue trim. A super textural rug was layered in to add to the warmth of fabric & leather furnishings.
