There are few individuals with as keen an eye as Avery. His personal style exudes an elevated confidence and definitive understanding of fashion that few in my experience are lucky enough to have. This critical execution of style has translated seamlessly into his work in Interior Design.

This project was a full-circle moment—born from my days as a Personal Shopper at Barneys New York. The client, a former fashion client and executive at the iconic store, reached out after buying a log cabin-style home in Upstate New York. With a passion for cooking and entertaining—and standing 6’10”—he needed a kitchen that was both refined and highly functional.

The vision: a space rich in heritage, yet clean and understated in execution. We brought that to life with classic navy shaker cabinetry, warm brass accents, and a layout tailored to his lifestyle. Customization was essential—we raised the entire cabinet installation to suit his height, ensuring everyday comfort without sacrificing design integrity.

The result is a kitchen that feels as thoughtful as it is beautiful—inviting slow mornings, spirited gatherings, and years of joyful use.
