Lots of progress at this Ridgewood renovation project this past week. Trim work is next. Can’t wait to show you all the details in this well thought out home! @ulrichinc @brooks_builders

Some good things lately. Enjoy the weekend everybody!
It’s not easy bein’ green It seems you blend in With so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over ‘Cause you’re not standing out Like flashy sparkles in the water Or stars in the sky But green’s th
Cutie slice of this city living room designed for a young professional. The card table can serve multiple functions — games, drinks, work. I love the skirted swivel chair and shade of blue we painted the interiors of the bookcases. 📷 @kirstenr
