Fall Colors

YUM!! Home Made Apple Pie with apples fresh from the orchard

Welcome, Fall 🍁

What a glorious autumn it's been here in the Hudson Valley! The sun has been shining, the leaves have been bursting with brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow, and the temperatures have been just perfect for spending time outdoors.

We recently enjoyed a beautiful hike around the lake at Teatown Preserve, taking in the spectacular fall colors and breathing in that wonderful, crisp autumn air. And what's fall without a little apple picking? After a family outing to the orchard, our bakers put their skills to the test and created an amazing homemade apple pie, complete with a from-scratch crust. Topped with vanilla ice cream, it was worth every decadent calorie!

We also made our annual visit to the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze right here in Croton-on-Hudson. What a feast for the senses! Thousands of creatively carved pumpkins brought everything to life, from the Loch Ness Monster to the Statue of Liberty and even a whimsical take on The Wizard of Oz. To top it all off, we had a gorgeous full moon lighting up the sky as we wandered through the displays. A little extra Halloween magic.

It's moments like these that remind us just how special this season is. Here's to enjoying all the beauty, fun, and simple pleasures that Fall brings.

A Spanish Adventure to Remember 🇪🇸

At the beginning of September, hubby and I embarked on a dream vacation to Spain, exploring Barcelona, the Costa Brava, and the beautiful island of Mallorca.

At the top of my wish list was experiencing firsthand the extraordinary architecture of renowned architect and designer Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Touring the magnificent Casa Batlló and visiting the breathtaking Basilica de la Sagrada Família were absolute highlights! The colors, flowing forms, incredible materials, and inspiration drawn from nature, water, and the sea made my designer's heart sing. His imagination and creativity were simply captivating.

As we traveled along the coast and eventually made our way to Mallorca, we explored charming historic towns, indulged in delicious fresh Mediterranean cuisine, and soaked in the spectacular shades of blue that seemed to stretch endlessly across the sea. Along the way, we met wonderful people from all over the world, making the experience even more memorable.

It was truly an inspiring and restorative getaway, filled with beauty, creativity, and a renewed appreciation for the art of living well.

Stay tuned for our upcoming blog post, where I'll share lots of photos, favorite discoveries, and more of the sights and experiences that captured my heart. Hopefully, they'll spark a little wanderlust in you, too!

How We Are Helping Our Clients

~Project Highlights~

Whole House Interior Design-Build

It's hard to believe this beautiful transformation is complete. Our wonderful young family moved in this past spring with their baby and has been happily enjoying their new home ever since. With the final piece of furniture now delivered, we were thrilled to see the exterior looking just as lovely, complete with fresh landscaping, colorful flowers, and festive fall pumpkins! We're looking forward to photographing the entire completed project this coming Spring and sharing all the beautiful details with you.

View the blogpost to see the transformation process from beginning.

First Floor Design & Renovation

After months of thoughtful planning, we're right in the middle of this exciting, life-changing renovation. Our clients had an outdated kitchen and an adjoining family room that rarely got used because of its awkward proportions and layout. We reimagined the entire space, moving walls to create a dedicated mudroom, a more functional laundry room, and a fabulous new wine bar!

The dream kitchen will flow beautifully into a brand-new dining room and a refreshed living room, complete with custom built-ins and all-new furnishings. We're transforming the way this couple lives and enjoys their home, and we can't wait to share the results. Stay tuned as this exciting project continues to take shape.

Multi-Room Refresh

After raising their children and enjoying their home for many years, this couple decided it was time for a more grown-up look. We began by giving their existing custom wood cabinetry a much-needed refresh, followed by new kitchen flooring and custom corner built-ins to beautifully connect the kitchen and dining area with the adjoining living room.

Our design direction? A Southwestern-inspired style with a contemporary rustic flair. We found just the right furnishings and finishes to bring that vision to life. Even the brick fireplace received a facelift with decorative faux painting to brighten and soften its appearance. A new mantel shelf and custom glass fireplace enclosure will complete the transformation.

We're working on the finishing touches and can't wait to share the final reveal.
