Susan L's Dining room & Powder room transformations, before & after. 12 photos

Susan is a long time customer of mine and I had been bugging her to update her Dining room to better reflect her unique style and personality. If you see the before and after you can better understand the changes that made the dramatic difference and took "eh" to WOW! First we changed out the tired wall to wall carpet and added a dark wide plank floor to work with the living room and Foyer. We then added an interesting ivory and Black area rug to frame the dining area along with the stunning and dramatic Black and Crystal, Mid Century Modern Chandelier. Next we needed to address the eye-browed Upholstered Cornice, that had been hanging for 20 years. The original  window treatment did nothing to add to the space and made it seem smaller than it was. It called for something elegant and different to balance all if the drama.  I decided to use layers, and designed the large offset Valance and Drapes with Crystal Fringe. It really frames the room and makes it appear too much Larger. We also added a lovely table scape, that includes a statuesque Crystal table Lamp for height, a simple crystal Pedestal Bowl with Moss balls for a touch of texture and color and a dramatic Gold Leaf Sunburst Mirror. It helps to offset the weight of the room and give it balance against the large China Closet opposite. The Center piece took some thought as Susan doesn't like flowers. So When I came up with the Murano Crystal Pedestal bowl I needed to fill it with something Dramatic and found these gorgeous Murano Black and gold Glass Balls. The end result is almost haunting in its ethereal quality.

Loudonville Designers ie my own Home office almost complete. 7 Photos

This was a fun undertaking. "M" spends a lot of time at her desk working from home so wanted a sort of Oasis, something relaxing yet functional. She also wanted to incorporate some of her own pieces such as the Hunt Board she inherited along with the Art work and some old Coral she had collected and wanted to re purpose the drapes I had designed for her master Bedroom as we are starting to remodel it and she loves them. Other than that she was open to ideas. I agreed that her pieces could work here. The Art work was the other piece that needed to work so I decide to build the colors of the space around it. First we needed an area rug to add some color without over powering the space or making the room seem smaller and protect the floor.  I decided to build colors around the artwork and found this Tribal Area rug in soft Aqua Beige and Ivory to be the perfect fit without matching exactly. I always like to incorporate different styles and eras to add interest to the eye. Something old, something new, something modern something classical. M also had an inherited a Love seat that she wanted to use if it would fit. As you can see, we placed if opposite her desk, but first it needed to be reupholstered. We chose a white Velvet for texture and comfort. Now what a bout a desk you ask? Well after much thought and looking around we settled on this all glass desk which kind of disappears in the space. it was a find at Homegoods believe it or not. M Also wanted a TV but again dint want it to be an eye sore. Placing it own the wall next to her desk made it work and she can watch form both her desk and the Love seat. M insisted on a dramatic chandelier for over her desk. That took the longest and I felt the room needed a touch of black, so off I went on my search for the perfect Chandelier. I was ecstatic when found the Galahad chandelier by Currey and Co. It literally finished the space!

John and Shannon called me in August unsure of how to proceed with their Living room and desired window treatments. They had accumulated a hodgepodge of various furnishings over the years as needed based on budgets at the time while in Graduate School.  Now they desired a real furnished and finished home. The question became; where to start? So we started here in the Living Room an glorious a sunshine filled space they desired to be able to use daily as well as for large gatherings. As we progressed we added new lighting in the dining room and kitchen as well, looking to a complete makeover in the future.

East Greenbush, Interior Design, After....

I was originally referred to this home and project by another client to do the Lighting design, but it quickly morphed into the entire home, including custom designed and imported Murano Glass Chandeliers and art work. The new home, would need to be filled from scratch with all new furnishings and decor and before the home owners moved in. The home owners wanted a warm Mediterranean look and feel but it would also need to function for their family of four. It was described as dream home and they wanted fo till it with beautiful things.  Every inch of the home needed to be redone or "undone". Every finish and detail in every room, from paint, flooring and cabinetry to electrical, Window Treatments and lighting.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a Kinfolk magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious and cozy space in which I can’t wait to host a party. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modern farmhouse kitchen, and I’m happy to say that Maison Kitchen and Bath led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, our kitchen looks like it could be the envy of Pinterest. I expressed my wishes of having a light, airy feel with natural but polished finishes, and they truly delivered – the kitchen in my home is to die for. They also helped me turn my claustrophobic galley kitchen into a beautiful open-space plan that makes me actually want to cook and entertain in the kitchen. I couldn’t recommend Maison K&B more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I had the pleasure of working with Maison Kitchen and Bath on renovating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since it was built in the 50’s.
