Harlem Brownstone - The Chess Game is Over!

Whew!!! I was finally able to take some photos of the Harlem Brownstone that I've worked on for the past 8 months.

I originally wrote about this brownstone in my post Interior Design is Like a Game of Chess, and I've showed you the some "before" and some "in progress" along the way. Well, today I scheduled a photo shoot of my clients' new space and thought I would share them with my AR family.

While my clients still need some art on their walls, I couldn't wait to share the results and we've planned an "art escapade" when I return from Oregon!

This looks so clean and crisp! I think that it should be every home owner's goal and seller to get their home as clean as possible; then the rest will follow.

You've done an amazing job!

Joanna,

How clean and sophisticated and LOVE the pop of color in the rug!

So very glad that this one is completed before you come to ORYGUN! That way you can now shift your many design talents my direction for ideas at the ranch! (I can't wait for you to see what we did).

Looks nice! There are so many beautiful brownstones in Harlem that were neglected for years, good to see them coming back.

Thank you Dorie Dillard and Olga Simoncelli and Debb Janes . Finding art is the most difficult part of any decor - so personal and often so expensive. But looking forward to the expedition!
