Scarsdale

We transformed this classic colonial into a refined, family-forward home for a dad and his three boys. As an interior designer serving Scarsdale and Westchester County, our goal was to honor the home's traditional colonial architecture while layering in a fresh, modern sensibility throughout the common spaces. We leaned into a warm, masculine palette; deep navy walls, rich leather, walnut tones, and natural textures to create rooms that feel both sophisticated and livable.

In the dining and living areas, we balanced moody color with airy linen drapery and sculptural lighting for an updated, contemporary feel. A standout renovation was the fireplace, reimagined with an elegant marble surround framed by classic millwork. The primary bedroom was furnished to feel warm, cozy, and grounded.

For the boys, we designed dedicated spaces to spark creativity; a game room and a LEGO room built for play and imagination. Personal touches throughout, including basketball-inspired accents and framed comic art, celebrate the family's passions!

North Salem

As a trusted Westchester interior designer, we were brought in to reimagine the kitchen of this secondary residence, which originally felt cramped and inefficient. The previous layout limited both flow and function; so we reworked the space to prioritize form, storage, and hospitality.

By centering the stove along the longest wall, we created a stronger focal point and visually expanded the kitchen’s footprint. We added custom pantry storage and installed two large panel-ready Thermador refrigerators, seamlessly integrated for a clean, tailored look.

Now, this kitchen isn’t just more functional, it’s a true gathering space, ready to host family dinners, holiday celebrations, and weekend getaways for years to come. It’s proof that with smart layout planning and elevated design, even a second home can feel like your first.

Capucino

From “we just moved in” to “this finally feels like home.”
After years in their house, our clients—with two young kids and a busy life—were ready to create a space that felt finished, beautiful, and functional, but they didn’t know where to start. That’s where we came in.

We designed a family-friendly space with:

Performance fabrics made for real life
A custom dining nook for family dinners and art projects
Built-ins with hidden storage and a cozy window seat
A layered, welcoming formal living room they’re now proud to share

Because family-friendly design isn’t about sacrificing beauty—it’s about designing smarter.

Lupin Way

This particular room was the first space you saw upon entering the home so we knew it needed to set the tone. The client wanted a calming, well-styled home office that could also function as a comfortable guest room when needed.

We sourced a high-quality pull-out sofa with a real mattress (no more uncomfortable, creaky sofabeds!) so guests can sleep comfortably and the homeowners can host with confidence. The layout and finishes were designed to feel intentional, serene, and multifunctional, a perfect blend of form and function.

Now, this space seamlessly transitions from a productive work-from-home office to a cozy, welcoming guest retreat—all without sacrificing style.

Midchester

This home’s powder bathroom hadn’t been touched since it was built, featuring standard builder-grade finishes that lacked personality. As the most-used space by guests, it was time to bring in wow factor and a sense of mood. We embraced a moody, dramatic palette and paired it with sculptural, high-end plumbing fixtures to make a lasting impression in a small space.

In the entryway, a damaged coat closet was no longer serving the family’s needs; so we transformed it into a custom floating console with built-in drawers for mail, dog leashes, and everyday items. To add visual interest, we chose irregular, asymmetrical light fixtures, creating a layered and artful welcome moment.

These updates prove that even utility-driven spaces like powder rooms and entryways can be both functional and visually striking with the right design approach.

Colt

Our client wanted a warm and cozy guest room for her friends/family when they came to visit. By creating a dark accent wall with wainscotting, adding wall sconces for reading, any guest would feel more than comfortable in this space. By adding layers of linens and pillows, this space feels cozy, elevated with a bit of edge.

Elizabeth

We undertook the revitalization of two bathrooms in their home. Our meticulous attention to detail, combined with carefully curated finishes and expertly executed designs, breathed new life into these spaces, imbuing them with a fresh, luminous, and immaculate ambiance.

This vibrant young family sought a functional and aesthetically pleasing entryway, complete with a designated drop station for keys, jackets, shoes, and even dog leashes. The skilled contractor skillfully translated our designs into reality, crafting a stunning entryway featuring a bespoke cushion and thoughtfully arranged baskets for shoes.

“This is our first home—and Jen and her team played a pivotal role in making it feel like our forever home.

They struck the perfect balance between understanding our needs and guiding us with their expertise. We always felt supported, and the end result is a home we truly love.”

Josh Sylvan

“Jennifer helped us design multiple spaces throughout our home, creating a cohesive and beautiful result that fits our family perfectly.

She was incredibly patient and collaborative, and her ability to blend our different styles into something harmonious is a true testament to her talent.”

Kimberly Shen

“Jen transformed bare rooms into a gorgeous home for our family, balancing functionality, comfort, and elegance.

With two toddlers, she was so thoughtful about materials and durability while still making everything feel elevated.”

Manzanita Project

Lyndhurst Project

Alondra

A house filled with kids, my clients decided it was time to elevate their living space and hide some of the toys to feel more calm since the kids were growing. With closed cabinet storage, a sectional with performance fabric to host a lot of movie nights and a cozy "sink in" accent chair, this living space is sure to wow any guest while keeping my clients super calm in their space.

Nicols

Every parent dreams of a playroom that keeps kids entertained, builds independence, and makes daily life easier. For this Westchester family, we transformed an underused basement into a vibrant active play space designed for climbing, creating, and exploring.

The design features a custom climbing wall with colorful handholds, a rope ladder, and monkey bars for endless indoor adventure. A cushioned landing zone and foam pit ensure safe play, while an art wall and craft table encourage creativity alongside movement.

Bright murals and playful graphics infuse the room with energy, turning wasted square footage into the ultimate family hub. Now, this once-forgotten basement is the heart of the home—a year-round space where kids can burn energy, spark imagination, and play safely together.

Cowdin Lane

This Westchester family’s living room once felt underwhelming—no storage, no focal point, and not enough warmth for everyday life. We reimagined the space with custom white oak built-ins, styled with books and ceramics to add both function and personality.

A deep blue sectional now anchors the room, upholstered in a family-friendly fabric, with a versatile ottoman and striped wool rug for layered comfort. Artwork and picture lighting introduce quiet sophistication, tying everything together.

The result is a cozy, elevated family room that feels tailored yet approachable—perfect for movie nights, gatherings, and everyday living.

Manzanita

Where Dwell & Oak all started, Jennifer customized a cookie-cutter builder grade home by adding built-in cabinets, an office nook and made the great area functional for an active young family with ample toy storage, and stain-resistant sofas with performance fabrics. This house eventually sold for nearly double it's price within two years due to the upgrades and staging of this home

Lyndhurst

Three extraordinary sisters once shared a room, and as the eldest turned 12, she longed for a space of her own to mark her transition into adolescence. My 12-year-old client, with an affinity for all things green and tranquil, dreamed of a room adorned with lush plants. Our goal was to not only create a serene haven but also provide ample storage for her books and a dedicated space for focused study.

Upon returning from their Spring Break adventure, their ecstatic 'OMG' reactions echoed through the halls, leaving an indelible mark on my heart and mind. The joy in their eyes was a testament to the power of thoughtful design in transforming a space into a sanctuary of dreams fulfilled.

Channel

Starting from a blank slate, we transformed these two twin boys' rooms into a young boy's paradise! Two similar rooms for twins, one green and one blue, have similar vibes but are slightly differerent. With a hand-painted plaid wall (yes, hand painted!), added half-wall wainscotting, pendant lighting and woven shade from the Shade Store, we made this space feel warmer and friendlier. With a stain friendly rug made of 100% wool, it gave this Mom piece of mind and this room surely delighted the young boys to get some good sleep in and time for reading!
