Every home evolves while lived in. Seasons change and events need different expressions. Working with that flow is an essential ingredient to good placement. An estate downsizing benefits from reorganization and redesign.
Moving house means fitting all of your already owned bits and pieces where they can best serve you and look great. Each house is made a home by the care and attention paid to it and all the things going into it. Such care and attention brings results that are fun, interesting, lovely and useful, and serve in new and different ways.
This house in Red Bank, NJ badly needed an upgrade, so I designed and managed the renovations, as well as doing the bathroom rebuild, installation and tiling, kitchen installation, finish carpentry, painting and landscaping personally. Then using what furniture I had, plus picking up a few things via estate sales, I lightly staged it for sale.
I put my renovation skills to work to repair some water damaged cornices in a grand Jamaica Plain, MA home. The owners asked me to do a three-dimensional plaster finish, which turned out beautifully.
Sometimes life can overwhelm a person, and the eyes and hands of a professional are needed to redesign and organize their spaces. I gently advise, reorganize and redesign as needed for improvement.
The owner of a Jamaican Plain, MA rental unit initially asked me to replace the cabinets; I suggested painting the cabinetry and replacing the hardware instead. The end result was a much brighter kitchen with new fan and repaired tile with freshly finished and painted cool green walls, at a more economical cost for the owners.
A growing family in Needham, MA needed help; they wanted to swap the functions of two rooms completely. What was once a crowded upstairs playroom became a new double home office. The larger new playroom gained more organized active storage plus a cozy reading corner, all with easier access to the backyard.
