Renovating a 1920's kitchen in the thick of a global pandemic was no easy task. This open concept kitchen allows for full functionality, space to gather, room for dogs to play, and live in total everyday glamour in a relatively small space.

This home office was rebalanced through material restraint, softening an initially masculine architecture with disciplined layers of texture and light. Custom drapery, oversized lighting and metallic accents are introduced with intention, counterpointing rich mahogany and substantial millwork. The result is a space that feels composed and authoritative, where elegance emerges through control rather than contrast.

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.
