The House An Influencer Built

The home is titled The Home an Influencer Built because my client, and influencer worked along side me to create the home of her dreams.

These clients contacted me as they began building their new home in Bowie, MD in early 2020 (Read pre-pandemic). I was excited to discover that she was an influencer and quickly followed her on Instagram @asiliglamcooks. We had already ordered furniture, lighting and drapes so that we could have a smooth transition to the home once it was completed. Unfortunately, their new build quickly turned…

A Southwest DC Waterfront Condo

A Southwest DC Waterfront Condo

This Southwest DC Waterfront Condo was purchased during my client’s final year in Law School and she was savvy enough to look past the mattress in the corner of the first floor and the dastardly paint job and see the potential of this condo. Fast forward 17 years, a husband, a daughter and a previous renovation and she knew her Southwest DC Waterfront Condo was ready for a change. Although she…

Each could have one wow moment and then we would create the room around it. Not surprisingly they both chose wallpaper.

An Earthy Bathroom Remodel

An Earthy Bathroom Remodel

The initial bathroom was very dated and out of style because it hadn’t been changed in over 30 years. Therefore, the homeowner wanted an earthy feel to the bathroom, so when I found the copper tile I immediately knew that its was the grounding element for the space. I decided to have a blue vanity to symbolize water in our earthy bathroom. However, since navy wasn’t yet a trend this vanity was…

Capitol Hill Rowhouse

This Capitol Hill Row house used to belong to the homeowner’s grandparents. The grandparents had been in the house since the 60s. When their grandmother passed they purchased the home and set about renovating it. I worked with the build to make selections of all fixtures and finishes, including paint, tile, lighting fixtures, cabinets and floors to name a few. I also worked with the homeowner…
