It's one of only two outer Cape projects featured and we truly span the gamut of interior design and architecture on Cape Cod. Photogtapher Paul Blackmore, a gifted nature photographer, truly captured the spectacular views outside every window in the home. There are a few small errors in the article - for instance the main living area is upstairs, not downstairs, and the dining table and chairs are Restoration Hardware, not Room & Board. But those are pretty small. I am truly thrilled to have been included and thank my clients for being wonderful to work with on this fun project. The house is available for rental throughout the year, <a href="http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p3557670#photos" target="_blank">click here</a> for more information. <br /><br /><div data-configid="1985255/4862555" style="width: 650px; height: 421px;" class="issuuembed"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="//e.issuu.com/embed.js" async="true"></script><br /><br /><br /><br />If you would like my help on your design project, I would love to chat with you!

"Oh snap!" A Junior Man Cave Makeover

In 2007, I was honored to be asked to do a bedroom makeover for an 11 year old recovering leukemia patient named Marcus. This project was done in conjunction with the Jimmy Fund of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Homegoods, who provided all the material goods. I posted about this when it originally aired, but was never able to link to the video. I was trying to organize my office today and ran across the DVD I'd received of the show. Technology has come a long way and I was finally able to create a clip from the DVD of the show, which I wanted to share. The video is pretty self-explanatory. <br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8fVhm3avTzg" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Of course, the story is about the little boy and the good works of the Jimmy Fund and Homegoods and less about me and the end result of the decorating. But, I was very happy with the outcome and more importantly, so was Marcus. <br /><br />This is the before - typical little boys room.  <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDqrr8SCBZbbnCzcSxfuKBjspQKl6tnzijXj52hHEMgo6Hgw5n-D-rDrRHJqlqbaTuiaGxVtldn-N_r73SclXeaw68_BsTAjPkndPh7UtV3NUmJ678xa7ZK7lsuHEBtdbStvBIWaECp50A/s1600/100_2655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDqrr8SCBZbbnCzcSxfuKBjspQKl6tnzijXj52hHEMgo6Hgw5n-D-rDrRHJqlqbaTuiaGxVtldn-N_r73SclXeaw68_BsTAjPkndPh7UtV3NUmJ678xa7ZK7lsuHEBtdbStvBIWaECp50A/s400/100_2655.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I met with Marcus and his mom and we discussed the program, what he wanted and needed in the space. There was basically no actual budget for the project, aside from what Homegoods was providing, so painting, etc was out.  At Homegoods I think I filled four or five carts. They were really so generous, it was basically carte blanche. The day of the shoot, we literally had about 2 hours to actually makeover the room. Marcus' mom had cleaned up the room considerably from between when he and I met and the filming, which made the set up so much easier. My friend and colleague Sharon Fisher of Come to Order! Professional Organizing Services came with me to lend a much needed hand! In addition to adding decorative touches, we also organized his closet and sneaker collection. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv9A3d5Qj7TBDJ0kLER3L21Sz7S80mN0ZVpUXXWtJztMgCuyrLOtlbHeFXxQ80vAx2wjpafYb4yModUrpyOG74S439LFX9iykALE6Axig5nxwW29GGTK9JiE4hciYWywrUcXkbCCGqvXN9/s400/100_2680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv9A3d5Qj7TBDJ0kLER3L21Sz7S80mN0ZVpUXXWtJztMgCuyrLOtlbHeFXxQ80vAx2wjpafYb4yModUrpyOG74S439LFX9iykALE6Axig5nxwW29GGTK9JiE4hciYWywrUcXkbCCGqvXN9/s400/100_2680.JPG" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And the after: </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBUsgoVKmXZqHZtKYzPrR_YfhcDtq5o1KXi0sIwu4mO_-y0SKdBWiwgAA0Ad6Y18KbotdwV5DbUuEjRhriiPvLQ_QibK6SMpvgM_Yz5xwOKu6MWXamxFRkqTnlXpaFFwRtliJnLC1MtA8G/s1600/100_2688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBUsgoVKmXZqHZtKYzPrR_YfhcDtq5o1KXi0sIwu4mO_-y0SKdBWiwgAA0Ad6Y18KbotdwV5DbUuEjRhriiPvLQ_QibK6SMpvgM_Yz5xwOKu6MWXamxFRkqTnlXpaFFwRtliJnLC1MtA8G/s640/100_2688.JPG" width="600" /></a></div>In the end, I didn't have time to really document the project, but wanted to point out a few key elements that seemed to work really well. I added the fur pillow at the last minute, thinking he might hate it. But it was one of the first things he noticed. I reused a bedspread that they had because it was cute and sports themed, but added new pillows covered in red and blue flannel sheeting, new drapery (actually, these were fabric shower curtains as I recall) and new rods. I loved the red bedside table and stainless steel lamp. It's hard to see, but in the lower right corner is a black leather ottoman that had a reversible tray table top for drinks and snacks. The gorilla is also sitting on a black leather ottoman. I really wanted this room to grow with him - to celebrate that fact that he would grow up.  On a side note, we also bought a few cute things for his little sister's room as well, just so she wouldn't feel left out. <br /><br />There were lots of other little details which went by so quickly on air. For instance, I bought shadowbox frames and put in color photos of the Fenway Park and Foxboro Stadium and included some of his sports figurines and bobble heads as sort of little dioramas. There was a "locker" for his sneaker collection and a bed in the corner for the family cat. <br /><br />Anyway, as I said, I was very honored to have been asked to participate in this project. While I'm not exactly a tv natural (we all felt a little silly having to do the fake entrance and introductions) the outcome was everything I hoped it would be. <br /><br /><div style="background-color: #d5a6bd;">If you would like my help on your design project, I would love to chat with you!

It is my favorite room in my house. I've been very lucky that it also appealed to several media outlets including <a href="http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/house/articles/2010/07/01/an_updated_kitchen_from_a_little_elbow_grease/">The Boston Globe</a>, <a href="http://www.shelterpop.com/2010/07/22/before-and-after-a-500-kitchen-makeover/">Shelterpop</a>, <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/dc/kitchen/before-and-after-500-kitchen-makeover-via-shelterpop-123307">Apartment Therapy</a> and now <a href="http://www.countrywomanmagazine.com/2011/FM11/Kitchen.asp?RefURL=&KeyCode=&tdate=&PMCode=&OrgURL=">Country Woman</a> magazine.  I received a call in October from Country Woman asking if they could feature my kitchen and the $500 makeover process. And what was really fun was that they wanted to re-shoot the kitchen! The original photography, shot by <a href="http://michaeljleephotography.com/">Michael Lee</a>, was beautiful, but it featured a cocktail bar set up that wasn't quite the homey feel Country Woman prefers. So, Michael was hired to re-shoot the kitchen which we styled with a Springtime/Valentine's tea time feel as the issue the kitchen is being featured in is their February/March issue.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiarr4dtGxH_9vke_LdW5cg2_4wR06peae_kJqCPWcbx7WTlhcm85IpWxDxUU0KYCvNfaa0qR6lph9sKWPm0g9-zuZKE76pWdZpFNBqMXjchfPB0zOIKy7PjgIiglPnnjVAWyu3US0ebofd/s1600/KitchenL2x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiarr4dtGxH_9vke_LdW5cg2_4wR06peae_kJqCPWcbx7WTlhcm85IpWxDxUU0KYCvNfaa0qR6lph9sKWPm0g9-zuZKE76pWdZpFNBqMXjchfPB0zOIKy7PjgIiglPnnjVAWyu3US0ebofd/s1600/KitchenL2x.jpg" /></a></div>What a treat to have two different photo shoots! It's amazing the different feel Michael achieved. The original set of images (<a href="http://www.chameleon-interiors.com/Chameleon_Interiors/Portfolio-Duxbury-Condo_Kitchen_Remodel_1-Chameleon_Interiors-Interior_Design-Massachusetts.html">see here</a>, just click through the images) are sharper and more saturated and this new set has a very soft and romantic feel. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitk7sFXGRWo6B-iD4eTPBHrX4ythwISzW29cAn7v4INlAifdPeBgY261Chw2Y9ycCWxjNg4vtLnyYfL2kVHi_umoAMo-h9SYz2bVcj8_Ca3hIB5q5Lnb-_wvvxCShwoFsWpqz74hCEUY1n/s1600/KitchenL3x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitk7sFXGRWo6B-iD4eTPBHrX4ythwISzW29cAn7v4INlAifdPeBgY261Chw2Y9ycCWxjNg4vtLnyYfL2kVHi_umoAMo-h9SYz2bVcj8_Ca3hIB5q5Lnb-_wvvxCShwoFsWpqz74hCEUY1n/s1600/KitchenL3x.jpg" /></a></div>I love this shot because it incorporates so many elements of my new kitchen. And of course, <a href="http://chameleon-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/02/real-mccoy-ode-to-my-cookie-jar.html">Humpty</a> makes another appearance! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNaa429CurDitBSH41a7j1qOtJeqfGXYg8bl4wl3AF2nBRJRkoNUa_vhq2QywDGjf62_syGEkTkAdYxNYJy6-CENjGZxMCMAyu_Y3kvBc84lELewBXQE60hjwMuplELj2PkoE3ECM0njD/s1600/KitchenR1x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNaa429CurDitBSH41a7j1qOtJeqfGXYg8bl4wl3AF2nBRJRkoNUa_vhq2QywDGjf62_syGEkTkAdYxNYJy6-CENjGZxMCMAyu_Y3kvBc84lELewBXQE60hjwMuplELj2PkoE3ECM0njD/s1600/KitchenR1x.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_3Ud-D7NLVoBzXgq5zQHrTC0saZDMotIhrcYPAzgyH_he6PkA1VYtKphgl30AOhdtnmof4middIYFz8bLjRoMdqC_rAlIwFh9DeZeLH0fXi0OvmSouoRuP7KC2ypld76s7N5TJSE3i6xY/s1600/KitchenR2x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_3Ud-D7NLVoBzXgq5zQHrTC0saZDMotIhrcYPAzgyH_he6PkA1VYtKphgl30AOhdtnmof4middIYFz8bLjRoMdqC_rAlIwFh9DeZeLH0fXi0OvmSouoRuP7KC2ypld76s7N5TJSE3i6xY/s1600/KitchenR2x.jpg" /></a></div>And this shot showcases the finished insides of the cabinets and some of my collection of this and that. The camel tea pot and cups were a gift from my Aunt when I was young. The silver tea pot was a $10 fine at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market in NYC. The green teapot came to me via my great Aunt and is vintage McCoy and the top row features my Grandmother's egg cup that's a bit chipped, but reminds me of visiting her in the summer and having soft boiled eggs with soldier boys on the side. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvCrH02uVFh06hDb7Tr4779dvaFeJH5upiBfRyYzJunadqCpMWK9Y9P9JnRzKEuqhUItyCNX6xr75XCvpTfuOa6hzfJXQ0MnsRjhFRAnuSzHcIxk69rwzSDSUeNJ20Sf6kHhbNyeEyPe7n/s1600/KitchenR3x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvCrH02uVFh06hDb7Tr4779dvaFeJH5upiBfRyYzJunadqCpMWK9Y9P9JnRzKEuqhUItyCNX6xr75XCvpTfuOa6hzfJXQ0MnsRjhFRAnuSzHcIxk69rwzSDSUeNJ20Sf6kHhbNyeEyPe7n/s1600/KitchenR3x.jpg" /></a></div>And a final detail shot of my gathered burlap counter skirt. Counter skirts certainly elicit a lot of positive and negative comments. Many commenters on Shelterpop, AT and the Boston Globe hated it. Many liked it. I did received one suggestion that it should have been more tailored with box pleats and a black border along the bottom. And they were absolutely right! I did consider that exact design, but went with gathers because they are more forgiving. I was concerned that I wouldn't get the pleats right and the skirt wouldn't hang properly and perhaps impede me getting behind them to the storage shelves. As it is, the gathered skirt is pretty (imo) and easy to lift up, but it's also very heavy and keeping it attached to the side of the counter is a never ending battle with gravity! A more tailored skirt would have likely been taken half the fabric and been considerably lighter. Oh well. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://countrywomanmagazine.com/2011/FM11/images/cwcoverx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://countrywomanmagazine.com/2011/FM11/images/cwcoverx.jpg" /></a></div><br />Anyway, thank you <a href="http://www.countrywomanmagazine.com/2011/FM11/Kitchen.asp?RefURL=&KeyCode=&tdate=&PMCode=&OrgURL=">Country Women</a> for featuring my kitchen!<br /><br />All photos by Michael J.
