Living here in pastoral and historically charming

Living here in pastoral and historically charming Bucks County, we see a LOT of stone houses. You’d think we would’ve run out of stone already...but I digress.⁣
⁣
This home by John Toates Architecture & Design caught our fancy because it adds a fresh, current vibe to the traditional stone house.⁣
⁣
The 3 disciplines: builder, architect, designer are so mission critical for your new home build or renovation. If you missed this blog, be sure to grab a peek called Blueprints: What Your Builder Sees vs. What Your Designer Sees. Link in bio 🙂 ⁣

I have to say, I loved working with this particula

I have to say, I loved working with this particular building group on this project - so talented. When the furnishings installation neared completion by OUR team, a member of the builder’s team asked “Hey Don! Do you think we can get a peek at what your team did?” ⁣
⁣
Or course the client said yes when we asked. And of course, I was nervous as hell when the builder walked through with his team. I’d already loved their work for a long time, and though he’d heard great things from his team about ours….this was the moment of reckoning...would he like it?⁣
⁣
Fast forward...he loved it all. BUT I recall how thrilled and stunned I was at the level of detail he noticed and loved throughout. And this guest room was no exception. My guess is that this room was probably most aligned with his own design fingerprint, ...but I digress.⁣
⁣
Great teams create great things for great clients. When builder and designer and architect love working together and respect the vision each team brings...magic happens.⁣
⁣
Ready for some magic? Let’s talk, lovely…⁣. #guestbedroomdesign #buckscountyinteriordesign #luxurybedroom

The white kitchen...what’s the story? In, out, l

The white kitchen...what’s the story? In, out, leaving, changing?!?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Um. Yes. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
*Still “In” because consumers still want it.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
*Still popular in the suburbs, nationally.⁣⁣
.⁣⁣
*Yes, it’s changing. The stark white-white cabinet has been giving way to warmer whites in a variety of undertones.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
*Leaving….is the trend leaving? Eventually, but not yet. For now, we see it shifting. Beyond warmer whites, we’re seeing more black and white kitchens, white cabinets combined with stained or colorfully painted cabinets, AND at the higher end, we’re seeing clients say: What can we do that ISN’T the same-old white kitchen?⁣⁣

A chaise in the bedroom? We say yes, and clothing optional. ⁣
So much for that G-rated feed for younger audiences. Kids, put mommy's phone down….

So, what am I thinking in this picture?

1. Hey, who took my chair?
2. Anybody have any knee pads?
3.Is it almost lunch time?
4.Can I get a chair at lunch?

Answer: Sadly...all of the above. Do you think there’s something wrong with me?? Or do I just hate having my pic taken?

Um...yeah. #interiordesigner #interiordesignlifestyle #buckscountyinteriordesigner

Design forecasts continue to project the resurgence of vintage and antique furniture mixed into more current perspectives in our homes for a collected look.

Here, we opted for fabulous new caned chairs, paired with an antique wood sideboard and stunning banded window treatments…. The look is relaxed, curated and bespoke...

When the wonderful builder on this project looked

When the wonderful builder on this project looked at the blueprint of this room, his keen construction eye saw one thing, our keen design eye saw this.⁣
Magic happens when the 3 disciplines - designer, builder, and architect - come together to collaborate...case in point with this sexier-than-sexy formal powder room from a recent, new-build project of ours. ⁣
So, when is the right time to bring a designer into your renovation or new home build?⁣
Short answer? An hour ago. Longer, non-smart-alec answers can be found in our latest blog 🙂 Link in bio. Xo!

We are already planning our trip to the High Point

We are already planning our trip to the High Point furniture market so we can continue to look for exciting new finds for our clients, bringing the best the design world has to offer to our clients in Bucks County, Princeton, New York City and beyond. ⁣
We love the workmanship and detail on this table. It is bespoke and signature - wonderfully far from the same-old-same-old coffee table.

When a client needed new sitting room furniture for the master bedroom of their current residence, knowing that their new build home would be ready in 18 months….we hopped into strategic action.⁣
We compared the blueprint to their current space to create something luxurious, livable and most of all...flexible enough to move into the new space when the time came.⁣
Worked like a charm...that’s just what we do. :)

Ever have a moment while working in your home office where you just wish you could:⁣
Get clarity?Get centered?Get a new job? (can’t help ya there)Get a grip? ⁣
I think we’ve all been there! SO, how perfect is it that our client wanted a prayer room right off her home office?⁣
One of my favorite features is the cross I designed with a local metal artist. I just loved working with him….it was like improvising a jazz riff with a great musician. ⁣
What do you want in your tricked-out home office, lovely? Call us and we’ll design it for you....

This isn't just our IDH policy. It’s our mantra.

This isn't just our IDH policy. It’s our mantra. We share it with every person who calls us to discuss hiring IDH for their project.⁣
I’m so passionate about who we are as a team and what we do AS a team to steward and protect our clients. ⁣
And it all started long before I went to design school...These seeds were sown when I was a design client myself.⁣
I know first hand what it feels like to be a design client when your project jumps the rails...truly awful. ⁣
That experience affected me as much as anything I learned in design school - so much so that my team knows that I’m hell bent on working with outstanding processes and living our Mantra.⁣
We’re ready for you, lovely. Let us take you under our wing.

Ah. Monday mornings! I love to get into the studio before my team so I can map out my creative schedule for the week. It’s my sacrosanct planning time. ⁣
Once this quiet, centering task is done ...I'm off on a mad dash designing and creating for our clients. ⁣
What’s your Monday morning routine?

Guess who was the great driver in designing this room...him or her?⁣
Actually….him!⁣
Our client was clear that he did not want the same-old-same-old living room he sees everywhere. (An aside: Hey...would IDH ever do the-same-old-same-old?!? But I digress!). ⁣
From the fine architectural details to the custom ebony bookcases to the frost-kissed chandelier, we worked with a fav builder @ZavetaCustomHomes to design a room with spectacular bones.⁣
From there, we jumped into high-gear reupholstering AND recutting upholstery we had designed for this client’s former residence, to include a spectacular custom tone-on-tone geometric patterned rug. ⁣
This is a living room to love AND to live in :)

We carefully curate design details in order to create the award-winning designs our clients love … and one of those details is light fixtures.⁣
Without question, lighting has the power to change the entire vibe of a space. ⁣

Custom bedding is not for the faint of heart - but what a stellar design treat, if budget allows.⁣
Our clients wanted to work with their existing bedroom furniture so we all decided to sexy things up with some custom bedding.⁣
We started by having our workroom create a tuxedo pleated duvet...stunner! Then, for this pillow loving couple, we added striking custom euro shams and an impressive bolster pillow.⁣
The look is beautiful and signature.
