Bachelor Reset

This project's genesis was unequivocal: put politely, this newly-minted bachelor wanted a refresh to mark recent changes in his life. Inviting, sleek, and masculine-inspired: we got to work. It is old news at this point that products...

COVID-Fixing… (and BMD in the news!)

Raise your hand if you have recently made real changes to your home to accommodate the new life we are all living. (??? OK I see a a small handful...) OK, now raise your hand if you're thinking about it, but on top of your current...

And, we’re back.

Hello, everyone! Well, what a year it has been. I miss everyone's faces, especially the parts (like people's mouths and noses) that no one has seen in 11 months. At BMD, we completed 4 large projects on the heels of COVID - certainly...

The Hamptons Edit

Drum roll please. BMD’s long-awaited Sag Harbor project is finally complete and photographed, and as the summer begins to wane, I am so excited to share it with you. This home had all the makings of a low budget spec house, but all...

Getting to the Finish Line

There’s nothing more difficult than getting to the finish line of a project. Whether you’re trying to figure out the last piece of furniture you’ve been stuck on, decide on art, place some accessories, or fine tune your organizatio...

BMD Celebrates 5 Years

New Year, New Art?

Happy New Year! Art can make or break a space. It is intimately linked with the success of the design of an interior, but it is also something so separate, so personal, that it becomes a thing of itself. So where do we start with art? Wh...

Curating the Clutter

I feel best in a space when it has a sense of calm: a serene, peaceful feeling. No surprise, then, that this “serene” feeling evaporates when little wonders grace us, like mismatched toddler’s toys on the floor, sports equipment un...
