Small Spaces… Great Places

I LOVE SMALL SPACES!

They offer the greatest opportunity for major impact in a home.

Rather than shying away, I embrace the challenge.

Maybe it’s the limited size. Maybe it’s the intimate nature of a small space.

And maybe it’s because when you’re in a small space that has been well designed,

it wraps around you like a warm blanket.

All glitter and glam, this elegant little powder room I designed for a client

is the height of luxury. The shell pink paper casts a flattering glow, while the

crystal chandelier and metallic ceiling add to the shimmer.

There’s nothing timid about this small space!

This Show House study, exposed on two sides, was located in the center of the apartment.

My challenge was to create a cozy retreat in spite of its open location.

Paneling set the mood instantly while comfortable upholstery invited you in.

I custom designed the iron and glass desk to keep the scale in check.

My favorite find….the antique blue mercury glass butler’s ball by the striped chair.

You can’t get a smaller space than a closet!

Instead of housing clothes, I designed it to work as an office by day and entertainment area by night.

Everything is exposed but looks great.

File drawers marry happily with the flat screen tv and martini bar below it.

And on the other side of this tiny room…

I designed a custom Murphy Bed for the unexpected guest that rings the doorbell.

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL!
