Custom cabinetry, crafted with intention. ✨
In this dining room, we transformed an underutilized wall into a stunning built-in — a tailored solution that adds both beauty and purpose to the space. (Swipe left to see where we started. #beforeandafter)
Working closely with our cabinetmaker, we designed this custom piece to suit our client’s exact needs, incorporating plenty of concealed storage for entertaining essentials. The result? A seamless blend of form and function that feels as though it was meant to be here from the beginning.
Custom cabinetry isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about designing smarter, more intentional spaces that support the way you live, and that friends, is one of our specialties. ✨

Site visits aren’t just part of the process — they’re essential to the success of every project we take on.
From verifying measurements and overseeing progress to troubleshooting in real time and collaborating with trades, these in-person visits allow us to ensure that what’s being built aligns precisely with what we’ve designed. It’s where vision meets reality — and where we catch the small things before they become big things.
Design lives in the details, and there’s no substitute for eyes (and feet) on the ground.

Swipe left to experience the power of a SBD full-service room refresh! ✨
Here’s how we did it:
✔️ Determine which existing furniture, lighting and art pieces to keep and incorporate into the new design (i.e. chandelier, lamps, sideboard, chairs - but reupholster, art, etc.)
✔️ Re-orient the floor plan so that the main seating faces both the lake view and the TV and create a pass-through to access the upstairs guest room without compromising a suitable and welcoming layout
✔️ Soften + update the color palette to one more suited to a lakehouse
✔️ Incorporate vintage pieces and embrace the client’s love of birds without going over the top (if you look really, really close, the rug even has a bird motif! 🐦). Fun fact: we sourced the bird prints from a local antiques show and then had them framed in matching brass frames to create the grid above the client’s existing sideboard.
✔️Add lush linen draperies (thanks @decorfabrics.design and @susanconnor_ny!) to frame the lake view, bring some subtle vertical texture into the space, and warm up the creamy walls and cathedral ceiling that the client had painted just before they hired SBD
✔️ Commission a super comfy 13.5’ u-shaped sectional (thanks @route20sofacompany!) to accommodate family movie nights and sleepovers, but upholstered in a performance fabric that will stand up to every day wear and tear
✔️ Curate a collection of accessories that feel intentional, but not too precious, since this is a family room for a busy family of five
