PRESS: Cocoon Home Featured In Design New England Magazine

Holy moly, I'm so I excited about this!!  A full magazine feature in Design New England on Cocoon Home's #beaconhillchd project!  Over the summer, I spent time in Boston putting the final touches on the space in preparation for a photo shoot with renowned photographer Eric Roth.  The photos were submitted to the magazine and accepted for a feature in their November/December issue.  I couldn't be any prouder!  I haven't seen the actual magazine yet,  these images were texted to me by a dear friend in Massachusetts.  I'm working on getting some copies of my own, but if any of my Bean Town friends happen upon any, please send them to me.  You can read the full article here. 

Many thanks to MV for sharing the images with me.  That was very thoughtful of you!

Client Update: #beaconhillchd

I'm pleased to announce that Cocoon Home Design's Beacon Hill project is almost finished.  Earlier this month, I spent a few days in Boston stylizing and adding the final touches.  After a year of total renovation, as in taking down walls to the studs, raising ceilings and replacing floors, my clients and I have been in full on decorating mode.  With just the dinning room remaining to be furnished, the rest of the home has taken on an elegantly modern look with classic details that pay homage to its New England history.  Take a look:

Client Update: #beaconhillchd

For the past year I've been working with clients in Boston.  At first, we gutted their Beacon Hill condominium to update the utilities, raise the ceiling, refinish the floor and restore some of the residence's architectural details.  Over the summer I had the opportunity to begin decorating the home and I'm flying East tomorrow to continue the process.  We'll be adding rugs, accessories, accent pieces and, of course, some indoor botanicals.  Follow my search as I Instagram potential items for this project at #beaconhillchd.  It will be fun to have you along!

Before And After: Beacon Hill Study~Part 1

For the past year, I've been working with a Boston couple on a Beacon Hill apartment renovation.  Despite the cross-country distance between us things have been progressing very well.  When we first  met to discuss the project last summer, we shared our expectations and ideas for their amazing space.  We also interviewed and hired a contractor, who not long afterwards, began gutting the entire place.  Since then, the ceilings were raised, the floors replaced, paint colors and wall treatments were decided upon and a totally redesigned kitchen was taking shape.  The rebuild was completed in June and my clients have officially moved in.  During my summer trip back East, I spent time with them working on furnishings, accessories and rug selections.  Although a few things are still needed to complete the space, I wanted to share our progress thus far.  I would like to start by showing their brand new study.  Stay tuned for more room reveals and further updates on how a house becomes a home.
