  • Standing at the entry to the main living space the apartment's focal point are two large windows overlooking the city. The large navy couch faces the windows to take full advantage of the view. To the left is a nice defined walk way to the dining nook. This space has a large open concept that we've intentionally divided into the dining area, a coffee nook, a living space, and an office that is just out of sight.
  • Moving along the back wall towards the dining nook you see a white round table is paired with golden wire chairs in the corner. Two navy ottomans line the walls to open up seating around the table. An arching lamp hangs over the center of the table. The wall has been done in a golden geometric wallpaper. Large gold sunburst mirrors span the wall as decor. In the far corner moving towards the windows a wooden accent cabinet is paired with a large fig tree to create a coffee station.
  • Walking now around the space entering the living room we take one last look back at the dining area to view it as a whole. The wallpaper is along the right wall, but the sunburst mirrors on the right wall continue to wrap along the left wall defining the dining nook as its own space.
  • From seated at the dining room table you look across and see the golden wire chairs, which compliment the hints of gold across the rest of the living space. The living room expands across the front of the room gazing out over the city through large iron framed windows, while across from you to the right is a small office area. Golden accents have been used in the lamps, table legs and pulled into the artwork.
  • Looking from the windows into the living space, a large navy blue sofa that matches the ottomans in the adjacent dining space sits centrally in the room. It has been layered with teal throw pillows. A round white boucle chair sits across from it on the left. Each is paired with a round marble and gold end table with a statement gold lamp a top each. A gold coffee table sits centered in the space with a soft white rug expanding out underneath, defining the living space. From here you can see into the small office nook behind the couch on the left and beyond that to the kitchen.
  • Zooming in on the office space now, a golden painting that hangs above the boucle chair helps to accentuate the golden features used in the office. A small white printer table and white desk both with gold knobs line the wall. Above, floating shelves are adorned with vining plants and paired with a black and gold painting.
  • Angling our perspective, we look along the wall the office sits down into the kitchen. This shows the entry to the main living space with the office being directly off the kitchen. The natural plants within the office space and the neutral white allows this space to be functional without pulling too much attention away from the main living area.
  • Jumping to the front entryway, we walk into a moderate sized space. To the left a white and gold marble table lines the wall with a round gold mirror atop it. A geometric black vase with cherry blossom branches poking out of it is paired with a small gold vase on the right side of the table. A snake plant sits tucked between the table and the wall the door is on. Further into the space a neutral clothing rack sits for some added storage.
  • Entering in to the bedroom now, this small space has been transformed into a cozy feminine oasis. Across from you against the wall on the right a golden day bed is centered on the wall. It's covered in rose, blush, gold, and cream pillows and bedding. Above the bed a painting of Audrey Hepburn is paired with vintage black and pink fashion style artwork. To the right a small table sits with a golden pineapple lamp giving the space a warm glow. A fluffy white rug extends from underneath the bed reaching out to a vanity that sits across from it.
  • Looking now from on the bed you can see the art deco style gold and white vanity. It is paired with a rose ottoman. To the right a lamp offers some additional light. To the left a yucca plant sits in a woven basket bringing some green into the space.

Deco Meets Modern Gold and Glamour in this apartment design – In a new approach to an existing project we take the base design from the project below and apply it to a new space where we worked to pull in elements of gold and exciting new patterns to make this new space feel like home. We arranged the living space to best optimize the view from the apartment and allow for a true dining area. For the bedroom we worked to create a glamorous deco oasis that maximized the smaller space.

This project was completed completely virtually, and renderings are as accurate as possible to represent final selections. You can also view this project on my Houzz page. For product selections that differ from the renderings please see the reference photo within the Houzz project for precise selections.

  • View of condo from kitchen, the new gold pendant lights hang down framing the view where the remainder of the living room design glows in the background
  • As you walk past the kitchen you can see the living room, large navy curtain hang from floor to ceiling on the far wall framing large patio doors outside. There’s a gold bar cart nearest to you on the left and a bright pink chair facing the remainder of the furniture arrangement. A large white vase on the floor full of monstera leaves separates off a small corner office from the main view.
  • Walking along the back of the pink chair to another corner of the room, you look across the living room. A deep navy couch is to your right. You can see directly into the small office space from this angle.
  • A close up of the office space. One of the navy curtains hangs beside a white vanity being used as a desk to blend with the rest of the design. Gold pieces of art are hung above the desk and a small orchid that is pink has been added as decor to compliment the pink chair.
  • Standing in the corner where the office is, you turn and see the whole living space with the kitchen behind it. The deep navy couch has teal and gold pillows tossed across it and looks striking across from the pink chair.
  • This view shows the navy couch head on. To the left of it, between the couch and the patio doors sits a fun Sherpa white chair, this chair is round and really interesting. The couch is framed by two gold and marble end tables with large gold statement lamps set atop them. A beautiful custom piece of artwork is hung above the couch pulling the blues and teals of the space together. In front of the couch sits a gold coffee table. The living room furniture arrangement is framed nicely by a soft white rug with a gentle black lattice pattern.
  • As you walk through the room you return to the kitchen space where an island separates the living room from the kitchen. Barstools with gold legs line the eat at counter. Gold and glass pendant lights hang down tying together the design with the kitchen space which has an older look to it and the original rich wood cabinets.
  • View of the bedroom as you enter the room, the walls are a soft moss color and the bed is covered in deep blue and gold pillows. There’s a white vanity with a teal scalloped velvet chair on the wall to the right and a large fake banana tree against the window that is directly across from the bed as you enter.
  • View of bed head on, standing near the window facing the door. You can see the fun pillows covering the bed with two large plant like photography prints hung on the wall above.

Mid-Century Art Deco Full Condo Design – These renderings above walk you through my first virtual design project. We furnished and decorated the entire condo with a delightful jewel toned color palette and an emphasis on texture to allow a fully immersive experience for all who enter the space.

  • As you walk into the space standing in the entryway the open concept living dining and kitchen space expands to your left. It is a soft creamy toned space with rose and pink toes being compliments by vibrant blues and golden accents.
  • Walking into the space now standing between the dining area and living room you look out towards two double patio doors. A velvet channel stitched sofa with gold legs is angled in the corner facing you. A large arched lamp sits behind it stretching into the room. Mismatched golden tables of varying sizes sit on each side of the couch atop a white rug. To the right a large scale mirror is propped on the floor. Opposite the couch a pair of elegant navy blue chairs with embroidered backs sit next to each other, a golden peacock table between them. Behind the chairs the entryway is visible. To the left of this living space the corner of the dining room begins to emerge.
  • Looking closer at the living space you see the couch is topped with soft cream and blush colored pillows, the chairs with matching white toss pillows. Plants cascade around the edges of the furniture. Large white curtains frame either side of the patio doors.
  • As we walk closer towards the couch you can see beyond the doors to a small patio overlooking the city. The side of the couch nearest the patio door faces a small fireplace where a beautiful sunset painting hangs above it. This painting is the framework for the color palette of the space. As the wall the fireplace is on turns the corner you enter the dining space.
  • Looking directly at the dining space now, 5 blush velvet chairs with statement gold legs sit around a white pedestal table. The walls curve ever so slightly around the space and 3 large scale prints with vibrant pink and green flowers span the space. A beaded chandelier hangs above the center of the table. To the left, there is a small window framed by white curtains and more greenery. The kitchen expands further to the left.
  • Backing up a bit, we see the view from the couch where we look directly at the dining table and the large kitchen with wooden cabinets and a White Island matching the dining table. This layout has been chosen to encourage conversation between all three spaces of the living area.
  • Looking back to the left towards the entry space the kitchen is now at the right of our view and the two matching blue chairs sit in front of the entryway space. You can see down the hall into the remaining home, the long wall covered in gold mirrors.
  • As we make our way back to the entry space looking at the front door a small seating area with two matching white linen tufted poufs sit next to each with a small blush pillow atop them. A large scale female figure line drawing hangs above them with golden hooks to the right to hang keys. The space is completed with an umbrella holder to hold umbrellas and canes.

Glamorous Rose Living Space – Going with a soft dusty rose color as our main color point I designed this combined living and dining space around my clients desire for a posh and ultra femme perfect for tea party having space. We arranged the living area to face and be inclusive of the dining area so it seamlessly flows when entertaining large groups.

This project was completed completely virtually and the renderings of the final product work to best represent the pieces acquired. Additional photos and product specs that differ from renderings can be viewed on my Houzz page.

  • As you walk into the kitchen from the hallway you enter at a side view with the L shaped island visible. The cabinets are black with gold handles and white marble countertops. The shorter L of the island has custom ironwork framing the seating area. Two large black teardrop pendants hang above the island. Behind it are two double doors framed by floor to ceiling black curtains.
  • As you walk into the space, slightly behind the L of the island looking to the right into the full kitchen you can see the cabinetry lining the right and far wall. The kitchen curves with the sink in the corner of the space.
  • A view from behind the island, you can see the full kitchen. A stainless steel fridge sits on the far wall across from the island, cabinets then wrap around to the sink and round the corner to continue to a beautiful electric glass topped stove. Upper cabinets sit above the fridge and along the wall above and next to the stove. The space above the corner sink is open with a beautiful three pendant black and bronze light fixture illuminating the space.
  • A closer look at the corner sink, you can see a dishwasher sits between the sink and the stove. Beautiful sunflowers have been placed in a vase behind the sink with it's modern looking black faucet. A stainless toaster oven sits next to a knife block between the sink and the fridge.
  • A detail shot of the stainless knobs on the stove, it is a front controlled stove allowing for ease of use. Two knobs frame the center controls which operate the oven.
  • Corner view of my sink, with the updated white subway tile backsplash spanning all the way to the ceiling. The black and bronze fixture makes the corner space glow warmly.
  • Detail shot of the black cabinets with the elongated rectangular gold handles
  • detail shot of the light fixture above my sink. The black exterior is cut in a honeycomb shape where the bronze interior shines through
  • detail shot looking up into the black pendants above my island. The interior is a carved bronze medallion pattern

Complete Kitchen Build – this is my largest project that I’ve designed and built from start to finish, you can read the specifics, see process photos, and understand the impact of this project in the corresponding blog post.

The kitchen design works to maximize small space working with a minimal budget, while creating a stunning black and white art deco inspired design complete with custom intricate details.

  • A view of the completed corner of my living room, the far back wall has been completed with the wooden board art deco pattern, a palm tree sits in the corner where three large rattan hanging pendants drape across the ceiling and hang over the corner of the large white boucle sectional. A matching gold and marble round end table has been added to the near side of the couch to match the coffee table. A gold peacock lamp sits atop this end table with a white and gold art deco patterned shade. The space is pulled together with the pink oriental rug and deep eggplant colored Mongolian fur pillows and white pillows adorning the couch.
    After
  • My living room pre paint set up. My white sectional has been pulled to the right side of the room leaving the far wall and the long wall to the left - both white - completely accessible. A ladder stands at the front of the frame.

Living Room Budget Upgrade – In an effort to make the best use of an extremely elongated room, I took advantage of some DIY upgrades to dramatically change the look and feel and create a space you never want to leave.

This project works with affordable solutions and utilizes color, contrast, and unique pieces to create a one of a kind space. Check out the full step by step process in my post about here, including product links!

View of a covered patio, the underside of the deck above has been strung with dozens of small lights. An egg shaped hanging chair sits in the corner facing a set of matching couch and chairs in a dark wood with white cushions. Black and banana leaf patterned pillows adorn the furniture. A skeleton bat hangs in the upper right corner and a large fern sits in the bottom left corner.
Outdoor Living Space complete with seating and lighting to really make it the perfect place to unwind day and night.
  • View into a small bathroom, the walls are a faded light blue, the doors and wood a warm wood tone and floors a grey vinyl.
    Before
  • Bathroom walls have been painted white
  • View from inside the bathroom, the bathroom door remained a warm wood tone but now you enter into the space with vanity on your left. The vanity has been painted a black with a soft grey stone countertop and silver hardware. The walls have been painted white. These colors now tie in beautifully with the grey vinyl flooring. Black towels have been hung to complete the look.
    After
  • Looking into the completed bathroom now, beyond the vanity sits the toilet which has a black octagon wall shelf hung above it displaying essential oils and a small white basket holding body wash products. Beyond the toilet is a walk in shower with beautiful grey tilework. A simple white curtain hangs with a fine black pattern on it.
    After

Bathroom upgrade from a whole host of mismatched wood tones and a dated color scheme, to a sleek black and white modern bathroom.

Two accent chairs paired along a wall, one in deep navy the other a soft brown leather/tan tone with a trio of gold nesting tables arranged between them. A white lamp sits on top of one of the tables. Two butterfly paintings are centered above the chairs.

Finishing Touch Living Room Design – This design progress shows a partial project where we rearranged to better utilize the space and incorporate a new set of tables my client had gotten. We worked with existing decor items to allow the tables to display some pieces while maintaining usability of each table. Future plans for adding sheers, shifting the butterfly art to be centered above the tables, and custom statement fabric panels were made to install behind the couch opposite these chairs to finish off the room.

Digital Projects

ADA Industrial Two-Story Loft: Combining elements original to the old factory with new chic designs while taking advantage of the large windows and open floor plan to create an accessible two story loft. Below is a look at the finishes and renderings for the space:

In addition to making this large loft wheelchair accessible with multiple points of entry, interior elevator access, and spacious rooms, adaptations including automatic blinds, remote controlled adjustable lights, and a meditation room have been added to create a migraine friendly environment.

  • The Great Room Mood board which serves as a large open space between a living room, kitchen, and dining space. Four renderings make up the left side of the mood board highlighting the floor to ceiling windows, a full exposed brick wall, and some spatial concepts of where artwork would be positioned above a small bar and in the dining area. The right side is 5 evenly sized swatched from top to bottom: a deep navy representing the color of the kitchen cabinets, a landscape painting in deep blues and greens, an abstract fluid pour painting in blues and golds which will hang in the dining space, the deep chocolate colored floor wood planks, and the red exposed brick.
  • The Kitchen Mood board, the four images show concepts of the navy cabinetry with the white countertops and exposed wood shelving. The 5 equally sized swatches to the left represent the stainless steel appliances, the navy cabinetry color, the white marble for the counters, the deep chocolate floors, and the exposed brick that will be across from the kitchen.
  • Mood board for the studio, the four pictures are a combo of renderings showing large scale black and white art against the exposed brick wall, a spiral staircase, and the workspace with floor to ceiling windows providing ample natural light. Some conceptual images of a seating area and sliding barn doors to enter the space round out this area. The swatches to the left show the varying white shiny fabric in the chairs and the cabinet texture, the white slatted pegboard that will be above some cabinetry, the continued chocolate floors, and the exposed red brick wall.
  • The master suite mood board highlights the spaces within the room including a minimalist sleeping area, a separate entry way, a large walk in closet, and a small private lounge. The swatches to the left show a Parisian photo that will hang above the bed, a warm white swatch that will be the wall paint, the deep chocolate floors, and the exposed brick wall.
  • The master bath mood board shows concept images, the entire wall will be a warm gold marble tone with an accessible tub and separate accessible shower, with modern double sinks that allow for roll under access. The swatches to the left highlight the marble, the soft lighter wood cabinetry accents, the deep chocolate flooring and a warm white for the walls.
  • Meditation room mood board showing a small windowless room with a cozy bench and deep red artwork and concept images of aromatherapy and shelves with oils and other meditation tools. The pictures are very dark to create a sense of calm and relaxation designed for those with migraine to be able to escape photophobia. The swatches on the right show a much darker tan for the walls and a soft plush fabric for the bench in white, the continued chocolate floors and the exposed brick wall.

Glamorous Hotel Concept: Taking a shabby chic style and adding in a sense of glamour and sophistication for this hotel design. Below are the furnishing choices and AutoCAD designs:

  • A mood board for the bedroom. The main color swatches are a cream with a complementary charcoal paired with an espresso wood floor. Furniture selections in white with gold accents are displayed with a cozy bed concept in a blush with grey accents and ample throw pillows. It is complete with a gold and blush abstract piece of art that will hang above the bed.
  • The bedroom floor plan and elevation renderings positioned side by side. In the autocad software I altered the furniture pieces to directly match my final selections. The elevation shows the perspective across from the bed with the desk and chair sitting next to an ornate dresser with a tv atop it. The floor plan shows the top view where the bed is central on the wall across from the desk.
  • The living room mood board shows the furniture selections slightly arranged. A soft blush chair sits next to a grey sofa. An ornate gold table lamp and a gold and crystal floor lamp frame the couch. A simple oval gold and glass coffee table sits in front. A beautiful bubble design collage of mirrors is hung above the sofa. This room will also have cream walls and espresso floors and will pull in bright teal accents through the pillows.
  • The living room elevation shows the wall with the couch, again edited in the software to match my final selections. To the right of the couch this hotel room provides a small kitchenette with a mini fridge, microwave, sink and coffee station. The floor plan highlights the living room which shows the opposite side having a tv and a little dining area not visible in the elevation.

Client Reviews:

  • Alexandra did a complete interior design on my empty condo. What’s more, she did it virtually using video chats. I can’t say enough about how much I adore the space she designed and receive frequent compliments on the décor. Alexandra gave me choices throughout the design and explained everything thoroughly. It felt like she was guiding my hand rather than controlling the process and I appreciated that very much. I highly recommend Alexandra and would love to work with her again.
  • Working with Alex was great. I needed a new couch and help determining the best fit for my small apartment and budget. I had been squirreling away hours trying to find the perfect thing and getting agitated and upset by the whole situation until I talked to her. She took time to understand my goals and design aesthetic, and thought through the process with me, including finding furniture that should wear well in the face of pets, be easy to move, comfortable and sturdy. She gave me a few options and we found something that is perfect for how I live my life and the constraints of my current home. I also should note that I live in San Francisco and she worked with me from a distance. Furthermore, I am blind and she went above and beyond to make sure I knew what the different pieces looked like, and she checked in that when I chose one I was able to make the purchase on the website.
