A Classically Modern Bachelor Pad

Design Plan for: Bachelor Pad/ Living Room 
Client: Mr. EJ

(click to enlarge)




My most recent client Design plan is for a succesful bachelor who just moved back to the big city from the West Coast and needed a serious injection of style into his fabulous bare-bones apartment.

EJ asked to select something that was masculine, simple yet swanky. He also asked me to choose furniture pieces that would be functional but stylish enough to entertain family and friends. Aside from this he allowed me free reign on the design (always a plus:) I had a lot of fun  going to work making this space one that would reflect his personality and provide a very cool space to come home to.

I decided right off the bat that I would go with a classic color scheme. There is nothing more timeless than black/white juxtaposed with a rich accent color. As a newly renovated apartment with pristine wood floors and freshly painted walls, I decided all this living room would need as far as weall treatment would be a statement-making accent wall with these horizontal black and white stripes. For the balck paint, my go to brand, as always is  - Benjamin Moore, the paint color is Black - 2132,

As for art work, nothing reflects a cool NYC city bachelor pad than classic art prints in black and white of this fabulous city. I chose two from my own Photography Art Shop that I know will work stunningly with that accent wall when framed in a rich copper colored frame to tie in the same colored wood floors.




EJ was very happy with the design and cannot wait to begin implementing it, I cannot wait to see the final result!

Here is the Before Pic of the space:

A Fairytale wedding come true....

Remember this love story about a princess and her prince who lived in far away kingdom? Well, their fairytale love story came to fruition.  On April 27, 2014, my little sister K and her now-husband R, united in holy matrimony in the most romantic and beautiful of settings in the kingdom of Dominican Republic.  I had the honor to be present and capture some shots -  from my perspective - of that beautiful, memorable day and want to share them with you...Enjoy...






























































May they live happily ever after and with all the love and romance she deserves! Love you my K!!!!!
