I’ve collaborated on my fair share of renovations in my 15 years in residential design. If I had to put a number to it, I’d say approximately 250 projects to date. From gut renovations of NYC Apartments to remodels and additions of homes in New Jersey. No two projects are ever the same! The intricacies of designing, planning, and executing a renovation project takes a bunch of Ingenuity mixed with a steady Inner Calm, and a sprinkle of Patience.
Spoiler Alert:
No Project Is Ever Perfect from Beginning to End.
And that’s not a bad thing.
Projects are like humans.
They can be shiny and messy all at the same time.
That’s the beauty of it!
