When this family came to us, they had just moved into a brand new townhouse at Edge on Hudson in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The development is beautiful, the location is spectacular, and the bones were solid. But like most newly built homes, it looked exactly like every other unit in the development. Builder-grade finishes. Predictable fixtures. No personality.

That is where we came in.

I love this project because it lands right where I like to live stylistically: a confident mix of heirloom and new. “Granny chic,” to me, is the joy of placing a handed-down antique mirror beside a crisp, traditional-shaped console—maybe lacquered in an unexpected hunter green. That kind of juxtaposition keeps the classics forever fresh: rooted in history and craftsmanship, but very now.

There’s something beautifully symbolic about redefining your home as you step into a new chapter of life. For this Manhattan empty nester, ready to embrace more color, charm, and personality, we transformed her Upper East Side apartment into a "cool-girl" retreat with edge and elegance.
