Our design for this home honors the client’s East Coast roots while adding warmth, character, and personal history. The project encompassed the primary bathroom, staircase, media area, and fireplace, creating spaces that feel grounded, inviting, and tailored to our client’s love for traditional style.

Each design decision infuses classic elements with modern touches, staying true to the client’s desire for a space that exudes charm without relying on fleeting trends. By integrating luxurious materials like marble, incorporating hints of blue, and celebrating family memories, we created spaces that feel both elegant and intimate.

Fluted marble stone surrounds the fireplace, blending traditional aesthetics with modern texture.

A coffee table—originally intended for staging—became a beloved part of the home after the homeowners fell in love with its ability to bring the entire space together.

A blue wallpaper by Serena & Lily adds depth and a subtle East Coast style.

In the primary bathroom, custom inset cabinetry, with detailed drawer fronts, pairs beautifully with a herringbone marble floor, anchoring the room in classic luxury.

Above the freestanding tub, a bubble chandelier provides a playful focal point, complemented by a marble surround.

A painting of a boat, hand-painted by our client’s grandfather, brings personal significance to the space near the sink.

Visual Comfort lighting lends softness to the bathroom.

“Keri is so talented! We worked with her to design and renovate our primary bathroom and family room and are so happy with how everything turned out. Keri worked with us to create a vision that spoke to my east coast roots and blended beautifully with our Southern California home. Her style truly elevated every space she touched. I’m looking forward to working with Keri on future projects and have already passed her name along to friends!”
