Projects: Interior Design For Jlady Re(Design)

For many years I found myself being asked to help friends and family with their renovations once I started working with my most important client, myself! I absolutely love to design and renovate spaces that bring new joy to my family, friends and clients. Disovering this passion for design and renovation is why I decided to study architecture. I hope to bring joy through design for the rest of my life.

Working with my 1929 Spanish Revival home has never been dull. I took a narrow room with a backdoor to the yard and transformed it into a “Police Office” for our oldest son who was about to become a big brother. Here the ceiling joists and white washed pine bead board create an enjoyable architectural feature.

This room was essentially a passage way to the backyard. We needed a new bedroom!

Refinished floors look great! Custom millwork hides the heating pipes.

Removed a non functional closet to create an alcove for a dresser.

My first major project was done in a Mid Century Style home in Fairfiled CT. The bathroom was narrow and needed to be designed for young children as well as for their monther who wanted plenty of light for doing makeup. The height of the mirror was lowered so the children also had a functional space. The Mid Century details are expressed with the hexagonal tiles and hardware, lighting and color pallet. Custom cabinets, milwork, subway tiles and warm paint complete the space. Total budget: $25,000

Custom Millwork frames a mirror with two adjacent medicine cabinets.

Hexagonal Floor Tiles with contrasting grout evoke the mid century vibe.

Two bathrooms in a Port Washington residence were done in tandum in a 3 month timeframe. The upstairs bathroom which was the larger space was planned, sourced and budgeted to be executed while the clients were away on business. The second bathroom (shown above), a 3 piece powder room was done once the contractor was on site and the clients said, lets just get it done. The clients trusted me to design and source all necessary materials to have the full intstallation done for them once they returned from their trip. This was a fun and exciting project! Total budget: $100,000
