BELOW TOP & BOTTOM LEFT: Occasionally, specific life events will drive design decisions, such as this bedroom for a recently divorced woman who reveled in the f reedom
of unilateral decision-making that single life affords. She wanted an unapologetically pretty-in-pink space all her own. We relied on the iconic Dorothy Draper case pieces
to provide necessary touches of masculinity and modernity to balance the feminine color and patterns at play in the paint, rug, and textiles.

BELOW BOTTOM RIGHT: Sometimes the unseen has the greatest impact. For these avid readers, I used the unconventional approach of running the windows to the
floor in order to create the perfect nook for the bed. The bed nook is discretely flanked by hidden shelves between the primary papered wall and the set-back window
wall. Stacks of books, piles of magazines and accompanying notes, reading glasses, and more live on the shelves, well within reach yet neatly hidden f rom view until
homeowners are settled in and ready to read.
