Nicole Gibbons Studio Project: The Coolest Playroom In Brooklyn

A lot of my clients are young families with small children so I get to work on a lot of kids spaces and it’s always so much fun! This folks, is what I have dubbed, “The Coolest Playroom In Brooklyn.” It’s a space I designed for my clients in Brooklyn last year and it truly is the go-to spot for neighborhood play dates. I wanted to dedicate a post to revealing this space and walking you through the design process while also sharing some great tips on creating the perfect, kid-friendly play space. I also included some before and afters …

10 Stylish Wallpapers to Liven Up Your Laundry Room

Doing laundry is usually one of the last things we’d want to do if we had the choice. But unfortunately it’s a necessity so why not make the chore a little less tedious by injecting a bit of whimsy into your laundry room with a fun wallpaper! Above is the laundry room from the Brooklyn brownstone design project I completed a while back. We covered its walls in the ever-popular Woods & Pears paper from Cole & Son which totally lifts up this utilitarian space and gives it a ton of personality.

Meet the Artist: Mary Elizabeth Peterson

When I was sourcing art for my Brooklyn Brownstone project that was recently featured in Lonny, I logged onto Saatchi Art, one of my favorite resources for discovering new artists, and was so excited to stumble upon the work of Mary Elizabeth Peterson. I loved every single one of her bold, colorful, graphic abstract paintings and spotted one piece called Conforming to the Curve that I knew would be perfect for my client’s master bedroom. When I showed it to my client, she immediately loved it just as much as I did and agreed to buy …

Before & After: Brooklyn Brownstone Kitchen Renovation

I love a good before and after and in the case of my #ProjectParkSlope clients, the change after their kitchen reno was quite dramatic as you can see in these side by side photos. Here’s a quick look at the transformation…

This before shot is from the home’s real estate listing. The house was originally built in 1876 and although this pictures is actually fairly recent, the kitchen looked like it was still stuck in 1876! It was originally designed as an open space with a much smaller cooking/refrigeration/sink area to the left and this dining area that you see …

Brooklyn Bedroom Before & After

I always feel that bedrooms should be calming and serene and in the case of my #projectparkslope clients who have two small kids, I wanted to create a master bedroom that felt like a retreat from toddler central. The space has a beautiful white marble fireplace which inspired a very soft color scheme. The clients lived in an all gray apartment previously and were nervous about the idea of incorporating color into their home. Since they loved grays, I came up with this soothing blue monochromatic palette grounded in Benjamin Moore’s Cool Breeze which, depending on the light, sometimes can …

Brooklyn Brownstone Project Reveal!

I spent a good chunk of last year working on a design project for the cutest family ever in Brooklyn. After living in a much smaller apartment in Tribeca for a number of years, the clients decided to decamp Manhattan for the much more residential neighborhood of Park Slope. They purchased a beautiful, landmarked Neo-Grec brownstone that was originally built in 1876 and the home features beautiful original detailing including mahogany millwork and the most stunning marble fireplaces throughout. The place needed a lot of restoration work and several areas of the house were gutted and reconfigured. I worked on …
