Stepping away from the Monarch Kitchen Design Studio showroom to tour the Kips Bay Decorator Show House in NYC alongside my fellow Interior Design Association of Western New York design friends was such an inspiring reset.

There was something so special and inspiring about walking through a stress free Showhouse (lol, lol) and seeing so many specified top national brands, many of which I curate for my own clients. While I love every detail of residential design, my heart will always belong to custom kitchen and bath design forever ever.

Stepping through so many fresh well-designed spaces from across the country allows me to bring elevated and unique ideas back home with me.

Check out some of the shots I took while I was there-

Honestly, I have always felt like this is supposed to be a portfolio. Perfect, curated, professional- I have so many projects in progress and I never really post them because, well- they aren’t perfect.

But, going forward I will show the process and progress because this is what the process is like!

This old kitchen was for the birds and this family couldn’t live in it how they wanted to, so we knocked down the wall between and created this amazing island.

It took several versions from two islands to a single large. But, I took the direction from the client on this one and it’s really turning out super cool.

There is SO much stone in this kitchen and so much storage too (since there really isn’t much at the walls). Oh, we cheated at the pantry cabinet too!

What do you think?

Spend the evening creating beautiful broomstick floral arranging with other witches! Drinks, snacks and sisterhood, need I say more?

✨🖤It’s officially spooky season, Witches!!🖤✨

Anyone interested in hearing spooky tales of actual ghost encounters from jobs? I’ve been reluctant to talk about ‘my gift,’ but if I lose people I am fine with that!

👻 (literally)

For this beautiful lakefront equestrian home, we blended original farmhouse charm with modern luxury—weaving together coastal water tones, warm organic woods, and sleek contemporary lines and warm gold metals.

Check out these stunning MSI slab options that pull the entire design together.

Ever have a project that you just wanted to go smoothly?!? Yeah, well that wasn’t this one and I had hoped that it would since we were trying to build a new relationship.

The sink base was ordered in December, kept getting on delayed backorder because of its color and of course it was holding everything up- template, tile, completion. It didn’t arrive until the end of March. Fillers were LABELED correctly, but came shipped in a different size.

There’s things that I can control and these weren’t one of them. Then, there was more cut off on this tile than usual because of its funky shape. So, we needed to get this tile brought in from Rochester because it was sold out in Buffalo (we actually bought out all the stock on this one).

One of the end panels came in damaged like 3 times and I couldn’t control that either. But, as designers we always feel responsible and try our best to just fix things and quickly.

That is ONE of the many values designers bring to this job. AI hasn’t built personal relationships with brands and people to help you when s**t hits the fan. We span beyond wall color selection and pretty things.

I mean, in the end this is an AMAZING air bnb, but it was a marathon that gave me anxiety and the hiccups.

This client was brought to me and shows how much she trusted Alex and his team because she didn’t meet me until months after I took her payment in full. That was a huge leap of faith and I know she loved it!

Also, this blue changed colors in every photo. It is the powderyest beautiful blue you have ever seen.

Proof that high-end design is all about the mix. ✨

Who says builder-grade cabinets can’t look like luxury cabinetry? The secret to elevated interior design isn’t spending a fortune on every single finish—it’s knowing how to seamlessly layer high-low elements so the entire space feels rich, bespoke, and undeniably expensive.

For this upscale Airbnb kitchen design, we paired classic builder cabinets with a breathtaking, luxury marble and mother of pearl tile. We even had a fresh batch hand-delivered straight from Rochester to keep the vision alive when he realized there was going to be more than usual waste cuts.

A high-end looking kitchen remodel like this takes serious master craftsmanship. Alex AVM Homes Construction and his incredible team tacked an unbelievably complex tile installation with total precision with a stunning final result. Alex is unbelievably skilled in the fine finish work and details. It’s beautiful in real life, I couldn’t find a single flaw.

The luxury inspired details, custom tile fitting, and seamless finish truly made this high-concept kitchen come together beautifully.

Whether you’re booking your next luxury stay or saving this for bespoke kitchen inspiration, this space proves that smart design and expert installation make all the difference.

Wouldn’t you LOVE to stay here? I WISH I had the before’s!

Now you see it... now you don’t! ✨

We can’t reveal the entire full kitchen just yet, but we couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek of this custom design feature!

Swipe to see the ultimate transformation (and wait until you see the before pictures)!

One of the biggest design challenges for this project was finding a seamless way to integrate a full washer and dryer directly inside the kitchen without sacrificing style, counter space, or flow.

The Solution: A perfect hybrid design combining semi-custom and fully custom cabinetry!

Huge shoutout to Creekside Custom Workshop LLC for executing my vision down to the perfect detail. That custom solid walnut wood top he crafted ties into the rest of the kitchen seamlessly (wait until you see it)!

Designing inside the historic Gates Circle Condominiums—and on the 9th floor, no less—came with its own unique set of logistics and spatial challenges (stay tuned, because we will definitely be talking about those hurdles in an upcoming post!).

Custom solutions, smart storage, and zero compromise on aesthetic. Is this design not absolute perfection or what?
