A Long Island Oasis

It's been a little while since I featured a home tour on the blog, and they're one of my favourite kinds of posts, so let's start the week with one. This beautiful home in Long Island belongs to a young couple who engaged the services of interior designer, Jenny Norris. Jenny worked with her clients to create a home which reflects their interests and personalities, and also incorporates Jenny's love of travel and photography.

Starting with a blank slate, Jenny uses colour and texture to soften the space, and layers items of intrigue, including lots of beautiful photographs. As it happened the couple honeymooned in one of Jenny's favourite travel destinations, Italy's Amalfi Coast, so she included one of her photo's in their bathroom to remind them of that trip.

When you work with an interior designer, it's their job to capture your personality and reflect it in the space. But you will also, undoubtedly, get a sense of the designer's style, so it's important to know and love their work. Then it will be a match made in heaven.
