WHAT WE DO
Kitchen and Bath Design
From selecting plumbing fixtures and pendant lighting to choosing counters and cabinetry colors, I can help you create a space you'll love for years to come.
Design Consulting
Have specific design questions? Stuck on which paint color to choose? From lighting and tile selections to furniture and accent pieces, I can help you make design decisions, big and small.
Whole House Design
Embarking on a remodel or new construction? I can simplify the process by creating a cohesive design for the entire project, from flooring, wall treatments, and paint to tile palettes, lighting, and cabinetry.
Room Refreshes
The details are what transforms a basic room into a beautiful one. By adding art, accessories, and color, I can transform your spaces.
ANN OSTROWSKI
I’m a former magazine and website writer and editor, and a mom of four kids. I have loved design since I was a kid and begged my mom for forest green carpet in my bedroom to go with the white, pink, and green comforter I had picked out. She opted for pale pink carpet but I still maintain that the green was the way to go (it was the 80s).
Over the last few years, I’ve been working on new construction projects and love the process of creating a cohesive look for a new home. I love following other designers on Instagram, looking at real estate, and spending an inordinate amount of time thinking about how spaces could work better and how to make them stand out. I also still love working with my regular clients too!
I’d love to help you, whether your project is big or small.
TESTIMONIALS
I worked with Ann to fix some of the problem areas in my house. Her solutions were simple and brought the spaces together instantly. I had spent months prior to hiring Ann trying to figure out what to do….within minutes of coming in, she was able to identify what was missing. She has a great eye. She was incredibly patient through the whole process. I really felt that she valued my input. As a busy mom of two, I don’t have the patience to go shopping for individual pieces. Ann was able to do the leg work and narrow down my choices to something I could focus on. Her taste is impeccable. She’s able to work with any budget. I would highly recommend her."

It has been a pleasure working with Ann. She very quickly learned my style and taste and was able to suggest items accordingly. I also appreciated having her make appointments with vendors as needed and keeping track of selection scheduling. Ann is very organized and can visualize how different elements in a room will coordinate with each other. Thanks Ann!

Just wanted to say thank you for making our house a home. For the first time since we moved,
I love our house!"
Sandiyha R., Lexington, Massachusetts
I have been living in my house for almost 10 years, painfully aware of our clutter but lacking the vision to improve the look and functionality of our kitchen area on my own. In comes Ann with her incredible gift for decorating and organizing. Ann not only provided small/quick fix ideas to improve the efficiency and visual appeal of our kitchen, but also she gave bigger picture ideas (e.g., furniture, lighting) that were genius. And then she took me shopping...she has an eye for detail and context and is able to brings things together to create such a sophisticated, yet warm, feel. I appreciate that even the small changes greatly enhanced the look of my kitchen (and are easy to maintain, so we haven't slipped back into old habits). We are in process of the final touch, and I have to say that I have not been more excited about a project in a long time. I turned to Ann for help after admiring the decoration in her own home, and she truly lived up to the high expectations I had set!
