The Dilemma
A young couple bought their first home—beautiful in bones, but lacking the heart and soul to match their evolving lifestyle. They needed a space that could grow alongside their family and daily rhythms.
“We knew we needed help to make this place feel like ours, but Annie made it feel like home.”
The Vision
Annie created a multi-phase, long-term partnership to support the family’s needs at every stage. The result was a home that evolved with them.

The Reveal
A layered, lived-in family home with emotional resonance and long-term adaptability.
“Annie has an uncanny ability to walk into a space and immediately see its potential—not just visually, but emotionally. Our Palisades home was always in a beautiful location, but it never quite felt like us. Annie changed that completely. She created something that feels elevated yet deeply personal—refined, but never overly designed.
Every detail was intentional, from the custom millwork to the curated materials that reflect the natural landscape just outside our windows. She infused warmth and livability into every room, while maintaining the kind of quiet luxury that never goes out of style.
Annie’s talent lies in her ability to design spaces that breathe. Our home feels open, grounded, and effortlessly welcoming. It’s where beauty meets function—and where we now feel entirely at peace.
We couldn’t have dreamed up a better partner.”
