THE COLLECTOR’S EDIT
Project: Comprehensive Home & Collection Transformation
The Strategy: Utilizing a "Foundation-First" approach, I revitalized the basement to create a streamlined sewing studio and office. This cleared the home’s baseline, providing the energetic clarity required to coordinate forty years of history and stage the upper floors into a restorative sanctuary.
Transforming a 2,300-square-foot residence after forty years of accumulation requires an approach that is as empathetic as it is strategic. Over a six-month residency, I guided a retired couple through a profound "home restoration," managing extensive sentimental archives with a need for modern, sustainable order. By integrating their treasured collections - from heirloom quilts to seasonal dish ware - into the home’s visual narrative, I replaced decades of disarray with a curated sanctuary. The result is a residence that finally reflects the family's history without being burdened by its weight.
