Take a peek at our favorite walnut island that gives contrast and drama to the white perimeter cabinets and countertops. Does anyone else think walnut is going to replace white oak as the new cabinet trend?? Okay, maybe it won’t be quite as popular as rift white oak cabinets because it’s darker and moodier, but it's definitely gaining in popularity as stained wood cabinets are trending back over painted cabinets. No matter the trends, if you ask us, walnut is always a good idea.

We love contrast and juxtaposition. 🤍🖤 Dark stained bedside tables sit on a soft, light area rug. A wooden bed frame inset with velvet fabric. Soft bedding topping the bed with a bronze metal bench sitting at the end… long gone are the days of matchy-matchy design. Thinking about buying a bedroom set with all matching furniture because it’s easy?? Instead, let us help select a mix of pieces that complement each other but provide interest through their contrast for a custom, curated, one-of-a-kind look.

It’s hard to believe, but we’re already back to school! Considering playing hooky and practicing a little self-care after surviving summer vacation. 🤣 If this gorgeous tub was in my home, it would be my first stop after drop-off. First grade, here we come!

This massive Main Bedroom is a combination of two smaller rooms, creating a large footprint with two distinct areas. On the bed side, a decorative console table and large mirror accent the extra space. On the side opposite the bed, we created a seating area defined by a soft, textured area rug. Because sometimes bedrooms are for more than just sleeping.

Sometimes “what’s mine is yours” doesn’t apply. Two separate vanities ensure your own bathroom countertop space, because it can be hard to share before you’ve had your morning coffee.

Instead of open floating shelves, we decided on a metal grid display for a more contemporary look. Separated sections can be easier to style than a long shelf because of the smaller openings with defined breaks while the contained top and sides give a more finished look. We used the sections for all of our favorite categories- coffee, tea, cocktails, and live plants. Do you find styling shelves fun or frustrating??

We are heading out to New York and New Jersey this week and can’t wait to visit our #MontclairHistorical project that was remodeled in 2021. We’ll be sharing a newly completed part of the house dubbed the “Dance Room”- keep an eye on our stories for a sneak peek! In the meantime, a throwback to the kitchen remodel with an enormous wolf range and double ovens that gives us major #chefenvy.

Designed for a cozy night in- a home bar takes entertaining to the next level. Custom metal and glass grid shelves allow natural light from the adjacent windows to flow through the space while showcasing specialty glassware and bar tools. An undercounter beverage fridge keeps everything you need to make a cocktail in one place- and out of the way of the cook #yeschef

The perfect accent wall just might be grasscloth wallpaper with a subtle floral print and a sculptural table topped with gorgeous peonies.

Contrast might be my favorite word. Dark woods and light accents create a dramatic contrast that’s accentuated by the natural light.
