Edgartown

Over the course of several years, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know the client and work with them at two very different stages of their design dream for the property. I was new to MV and new to Interiors but was able to secure an entry level Design Assistant position at luxury design firm teaching myself AutoCAD and learning everything I could. Creative by nature, interiors felt like a natural evolution and I dove in.

This was my first residential client and the first project the firm gave me to lead. The goal was to breathe some life and durability into the property, a modest but clean ‘saltbox’, it had potential and it was in fairly good shape. At the time, we were preparing the residence as a seasonal rental. We updated paint, window treatments, lighting plans and fixtures, renovated two bathrooms, finished the basement adding a third bathroom and spillover sleeping room, and sourced new furnishings for every room. We focused on maximizing a fun coastal color story, polishing curb appeal with an emphasis on durability on a quick timeline. Needless to say, it was a success and I was lucky to have access to clients that were a dream to work with and so supportive as we worked together.

Around six years later, after I had moved on to join forces with my husband, expanding our design team to include interiors, the same client returned giving our studio fun opportunity re-envision their home again. The home was no longer needed as a rental so now it felt like we could re-design the home, building on the bones already there and raise the standard to match the clients taste and summer home experience.

Weary of over designing for the neighborhood the client had come to love, we found a balance of a casual elegance with refreshing design moments without forfeiture of durability or endurance.
