Seattle, Washington
AIRBNB in Italy – Main Bedroom
A little industrial, a little art and a beautiful handmade original Turkish rug. It was fun to blend styles together to bring this plain bedroom to life. I absolutely love the painting from Saverio Polloni, and the choice of leaving the dresser open, without doors.
Edmonds Remodel
The main change to this staircase was replacing the old carpet with brand new oak wood. Having treads and risers in wood makes it look seamless and rich, so we opted to just keep the existing railing and paint it a sleek matte black. We added an interesting light fixture that fits the proportion of the landing and completed the ensemble with a modern walnut console and mirror.
AIRBNB in Italy – Bedroom 2
A green bedroom in the mist of the field in Emilia Romagna, nothing more perfect than that. A collection of prints from Seattle artist, custom jute rugs, a beautiful suspension lamp and modern night lights. These are the details that bring this room together.
Fringe Hair Salon Interior Design
This is a new hip hair salon that opened as the pandemic was finally under control. The space was completely empty. The interior walls weren’t even there. For this project, I worked with the client as interior designer and client representative. We had a lot of fun working together and she is a fantastic businesswoman that I truly admire. Staying on the budget was a challenge. A bigger challenge was the spatial planning. Providing enough space for everybody to work comfortably, while clients are also comfortable while seated. Working in this commercial space I learned a lot more about lighting and construction permits.
Of note: the stunning natural finish selected rift cut oak herringbone front wall; the porcelain slab and quartz counter tops; the custom wallpaper; the pendant lights in 3 different sizes; the art and photographs of people that inspired us (Frida, Bruce Lee, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Jane Goodall, Jimi Hendrix).
If you want the best hair style of your life and hang out at a cool spot, go visit Fringe Hair Salon.
AIRBNB in Italy – Bedroom 3
This room is located at the end of a corridor and it is the smallest room in the house, to give your eyes a place to wander, I decided to add wallpaper to the back wall, and because it will be the least used, the pullout chairs from Ikea turned out to be perfect for space and budget, then a cozy rug and fun light fixture.
Bellevue Condo Bar
The space below the window was underutilized, and we know in a condo you want to use every inch to the max, this is what we did, creating a dry bar area that serves also as a buffet and storage. The colors and material match the kitchen, and the custom corner shelves above add a little warmth to the ensemble.
AIRBNB in Italy – 3rd Floor Bedroom
This is the most charming space, a little suite on the 3rd floor with a romantic arch window in the bedroom. I went with an iron bed frame, a Vintage Lady Chair in a warm saffron color and some straw and metal furniture to bring it together.
Green Lake Wine Room
What was once just storage under the stairs, became a chic wine room. This client has eclectic taste with a soft spot for unique and uncommon. The black bunny wallpaper is what started the design; combined with a reproduction of a Picasso painting and the carved words of Poe’s Raven on the steel wine storage, it gave to this Wine Room that surprise effect we were looking for. The sloped ceiling has been clad with natural cork tile mosaic and as you open the secret door to the wine room, the scent of cork reminiscent of an old cellar fills the air and welcomes you.
Ballard Seattle Master Bedroom
This room is in a typical Ballard town home. It was built with a “less is more” mindset. My client wanted a romantic master bedroom. We started by adding wood trim to the windows, a beautiful chandelier, framed art and pictures on the large walls. On the focal wall we applied vintage looking rose wallpaper. We layered window treatments with roller shades, sheer layers and beautiful raw silk draperies with jewel tie backs. We combined light oak furniture with white paint and added texture with the bedding.
