Jessica De Kler
A 1,500 square foot condo in the first factory conversion on the Northside of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The building, constructed in 1906, housed a paper-dye manufacturer until the late 1980s. Exposed sprinklers and beams, 15’ ceilings, and replicas of the original windows all honor the initial architecture of the building. We juxtaposed the industrial features of the condo with comfortable, soft furnishings instead of the sleek and modern designs that one usually finds in lofts like these. We chose to leave the living room light and open to maximize the 8’ tall hopper windows and the views of the East River and Manhattan sky-line beyond. A small entry way offered the chance to use fun and graphic wallpaper. The office easily transforms into a guest bedroom; the secretary desk folds in and the couch opens up like an envelope, revealing a queen-size bed. Photos by Eric Morales.

KitchenLab Interiors
KitchenLab Interiors’ first, entirely new construction project in collaboration with GTH architects who designed the residence. KLI was responsible for all interior finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and design including the stairs, casework, interior doors, moldings and millwork. KLI also worked with the client on selecting the roof, exterior stucco and paint colors, stone, windows, and doors. The homeowners had purchased the existing home on a lakefront lot of the Valley Lo community in Glenview, thinking that it would be a gut renovation, but when they discovered a host of issues including mold, they decided to tear it down and start from scratch. The minute you look out the living room windows, you feel as though you're on a lakeside vacation in Wisconsin or Michigan. We wanted to help the homeowners achieve this feeling throughout the house - merging the causal vibe of a vacation home with the elegance desired for a primary residence. This project is unique and personal in many ways - Rebekah and the homeowner, Lorie, had grown up together in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Lorie had been Rebekah's babysitter and was like an older sister growing up. They were both heavily influenced by the style of the late 70's and early 80's boho/hippy meets disco and 80's glam, and both credit their moms for an early interest in anything related to art, design, and style. One of the biggest challenges of doing a new construction project is that it takes so much longer to plan and execute and by the time tile and lighting is installed, you might be bored by the selections of feel like you've seen them everywhere already. “I really tried to pull myself, our team and the client away from the echo-chamber of Pinterest and Instagram. We fell in love with counter stools 3 years ago that I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on, thank god, because then they started showing up literally everywhere", Rebekah recalls. Lots of one of a kind vintage rugs and furnishings make the home feel less brand-spanking new. The best projects come from a team slightly outside their comfort zone. One of the funniest things Lorie says to Rebekah, "I gave you everything you wanted", which is pretty hilarious coming from a client to a designer.
EA Custom Millwork
We collaborated with the interior designer on several designs before making this shoe storage cabinet. A busy Beacon Hill Family needs a place to land when they enter from the street. The narrow entry hall only has about 9" left once the door is opened and it needed to fit under the doorknob as well.
Simple Steps
This eclectic entry has a porcelain tile with a soft grey design called Marrakesh. There is a variety of designs available and you can mix designs or use one pattern.
Inspired Interiors
Often times, the design is in the details, and that was certainly the case for our recent client’s full-home renovation. Drawing from the homeowner’s roots, it was important that we evoked European glamour through the entirety of the space. From the lighting to color composition and scale, the home tested our level of creativity and the embodiment of our guiding principle of creating a place for this particular couple to live, love, work and function. We were challenged with replacing the suburban 80s-era builder basic home with a cosmopolitan vibe that was dripping with glamour and elegance. Everything from the grand entrance with patterned floor to the spacious sitting room everything needed to have a dramatic, wow effect.
