Time To Hit The Refresh Button

June 3, 2018 by Alison Friedricks Leave a Comment

Through the years, this wonderful couple had been concentrating on their children, but now it was time to turn their attention to their home and give it an update. Comfort and functionality were key. The living room is an extension of their family room. They wanted it to be comfortable and easy to move the furniture around for optimal TV viewing. To achieve this, we put each chair and the ottoman on casters. In the kitchen, we painted the cabinets, chose new lighting, and added a new backsplash and counter top. We then added an interesting new dining table with upholstered head chairs.

Welcome to the Neighborhood…A Year in Progress

May 6, 2018 by Alison Friedricks Leave a Comment

Buying a new home can be a burdensome financial proposition. Add to that the cost of moving and you’ll likely notice your depleted reserves before you’ve even begun to consider any updates or renovations to the new house. And then, there’s new furniture (or reupholstering the old), appliances and art. The good news is that you don’t have to do it all at once. Many families prefer to take their time. This client moved to Chappaqua a year ago. They wanted to take it slowly, make good decisions and keep within budget. We started with a plan…a paint story for the whole house and floor plans for the main rooms. Here is what we have accomplished: The Master Bedroom: We…

A Residential Reset

July 30, 2017 by Alison Friedricks Leave a Comment

As time passes and life changes, we don’t always use our homes exactly the way we did when they were first decorated. Maybe the kids were young and the space was designed with durability in mind while entertaining was low on the list of priorities. Add to that the fact that generations shift and, like it or not, we may find we’ve inherited a parent’s furniture. The kids grow up and suddenly you find you’re using your home in an entirely different manner. Your space must evolve with your stage of life and, meanwhile, your new acquisitions need to blend with your decor. As was the case with this recently completed project. This client asked us to breathe new life…

Welcome Home: Bedford Edition

July 20, 2017 by Alison Friedricks Leave a Comment

This spring, Alison Friedricks Interiors was hired to design and manage a project in Bedford, NY. The homeowners, both full-time working professionals, lived in Manhattan with their young son and newborn. We GC’d the entire project and, now that it’s finished, would love to show you the results. THE PLAN: New Paint, carpeting, carpentry, stain floors, lighting, refresh bathrooms, add wallpaper, re-do closets, all new furniture for master bedroom, kitchen, family room. MASTER BEDROOM We brought a cool and sophisticated vibe to the master bedroom with new paint colors and carpet.

Feathering the Nest Once The Kids Have Flown

July 11, 2017 by Alison Friedricks Leave a Comment

This spring Alison Friedricks Interiors was hired by a Chappaqua couple who have lived here for over 20 years. With children grown and out of the house, they faced the decision that perplexes so many of us…what next? They loved their home and planned to stay but it needed an update and they wanted it to reflect their new stage of life. They wanted to give the entire home a fresh new look. New paint, carpet, and furnishings for living / family room, office, master bedroom, front entry, a new runner for stairs, new wall paper in guest bath and dining room. Here is a look at what’s been done so far…

Welcome to the Neighborhood – CHAPPAQUA STYLE

July 30, 2016 by Alison Friedricks Leave a Comment

OK, imagine this scenario. You’ve just purchased a new home in Westchester and are excited to bid adieu to NYC apartment living in favor of a house in the ‘burbs.  It needs some work, however – paint, new carpet, custom closets and, of course, new furniture – but you and your husband are busy professionals with two young children. Between decisions to be made, measurements to be taken and deliveries to accept, it gets tricky and running back and forth is definitely not possible. Well, here’s how we at Alison Friedricks Interiors like to welcome new families to the neighborhood. We made the initial connection on Facebook’s Chappaqua Moms page and immediately understood the challenges facing this young family because…

Alison Friedricks Interiors Welcomes Zoe Moskowitz

May 16, 2016 by Alison Friedricks Leave a Comment

Spring has sprung at Alison Friedricks Interiors with a whirlwind of new and exciting projects and we’re pleased to have some extra help from the Greeley Senior Experience. Zoe Moskowitz has joined our staff and will get an inside look at the interior design industry and some firsthand experience as she finishes the school year. In addition to handling calls and managing orders, Zoe will join Alison Friedricks on appointments and looks forward to learning about choosing paint colors, coordinating fabrics and accessorizing a space. While her own home is designed in the Arts and Crafts style, she appreciates a mix of new construction with older charm and thinks that design should revolve around comfort. Most importantly, every home should…

Welcome to the Neighborhood

January 15, 2016 by Alison Friedricks Interiors Leave a Comment

They say that, as life events go, moving is among the most stressful. Combine it with having a two-year old and expecting a second around the time of the move and you have the perfect storm.  You’d think this combination would be untenable yet we see it all the time. How to best navigate one of life’s most challenging times? GET HELP! We met with these particular new clients, a young couple moving to Chappaqua from New York City, last April. They had just purchased a new home and planned to close in August. Yes, they had a two-year-old and, yes, they were welcoming their second child a month before moving day. To complicate matters, their new home would need some renovation, particularly the kitchen, family…

Interior Design Couple’s Counseling

July 22, 2015 by Alison Friedricks Interiors Leave a Comment

Originally posted at Family Home Guide What is this all about and how does it apply to you. If you are a home owner and you are married or living with a partner, I am sure that you have had more than one argument over the interior design of your home. In fact, when buying a new home or remodeling an existing home, fighting with your partner about what color to paint the walls, what furniture works, flooring, window covering is inevitable. A home is very personal, it is our retreat from the outside world, a place where we entertain and raise our families. When two people come together, and combine their lives in a dwelling, they both are going to…
