Crushing on Lauren Stern Design

I stumbled across Lauren Stern's design work while looking at fixtures from Urban Electric, and I'm glad to have found my way to her portfolio. I'm especially enamored with the following West Village penthouse project that she completed. Isn't it gorgeous? You honestly need to click through to the Lauren Stern Design site and look at the whole place. Based on the before photos, it seems that a major renovation had to take place in order to get it looking as stunning as it presently does.

I'd kill for those herringbone floors.

This is such a fabulous wall color for a bedroom, especially with the dark bed and floors.

I definitely have a thing for campaign desks. This one is painted a really interesting color. 

This seating area is also in the master bedroom...

I suppose you don't have to worry about privacy when your bathroom is on the top of a building. It would take me a while to get used to that!

That's quite a view.

Here's the photo from Urban Electric...their Edina sconces were used here.

I am so in love with that sink console.

She definitely has the ability to execute a variety of styles. I was most drawn to the classic, yet fresh look carried through the penthouse project. The Fisher Island project shown in the portfolio is more modern, but it's pretty amazing too. Here's a quick glimpse into that (there are MANY more rooms from this home to view on her site).
