I couldn’t be more excited for the uber talented design duo Tilton Fenwick for their recent feature in the New York Times which highlights the newly renovated Brooklyn home that designer Anne Foster (one half of Tilton Fenwick) shares with her husband Ryan and soon-to-be baby due in April.

The pair tweaked the floor plan, upgraded the …

Back then he was still assistant extraordinaire to Miles Redd as well as Domino’s resident blogger aka “the Deal Hunter.” Since those days, the supremely talented Nick has struck out on his own and is currently on the rise to design stardom.
