INFLUENTIAL WOMEN OF DESIGN / NEW YORK

PURSUING PASSION “My initial desire was to pursue a career in art, but life had other plans and I pivoted from the creative to the analytical path as a CPA, then onto Wall Street and advertising,” Paula shares. “As someone with a creative soul who’s always enjoyed renovating my own homes, I had an ‘a-ha’ moment mid-career and realized that this is what I most wanted to do. So, I jumped back into the city and, against all odds, established my firm. Today, I am happily doing what I love best—designing and building homes and environments for my clients with my amazing team.”

A FORWARD-LOOKING

Discovering one’s true passion and then sharing it is the key to personal and professional success that has a profound influence on other people’s lives. Enter Paula McDonald. As the owner of Paula McDonald Design Build & Interiors, she brings her artistic talents and enduring business skills to the award-winning firm she founded in 2009. “My philosophy of integrating the separate disciplines of design, architecture and construction is at the heart of my firm’s holistic “one-stop-shop” approach to Manhattan residential renovations,” Paula says. Based in the Flatiron District, Paula and her expert team work in close collaboration with their clients to transform the look, feel and function of their apartments, while removing logistical headaches. “My mission is to design and create beautiful, innovative living spaces that save time and money and elevate my clients’ lives for years to come.”

“We are a full-service design-build firm with wide-ranging expertise that guides projects from conception to completion.”

INFLUENCER

When asked what her major goals are moving forward, Paula McDonald shared, “To become consistent in business revenues so that I can nearly double the size of my firm to 10 employees. Doing this will allow us to take on more large projects, yet stay small enough to remain scrappy, strategic and completely hands-on.”

Above Waterworks fixtures, Indigo ceramic tiles, custom PMD radiator cover, J Tribble handcrafted vanity and handmade de Gournay wallpaper, this powder room exudes English charm and whimsy. Top This open contemporary home boasts water views, an elevator, a new staircase, rift and quarter-sawn white oak floors, Imperial Danby honed countertops and a Cancos water-jet mosaic marble backsplash. Left PMD transformed this pre-war gem into a contemporary classic with an open kitchen/dining/living space, custom built-ins, a stunning fireplace surround, Odegard and Stark carpeting, a Baker sectional and a Circa chandelier and sconces.

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

TOM MCWILLIAM

IT’S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALREADY CELEBRATING THE FIFTH birthday of The New York Design Guide, packed as always with a youthful energy and boundless information that continues to astound, inspire, and feel brand-new. Of course, some things about buying and decorating a home are tried and true, but the broad swath of know-how sought out by both homeowners and design professionals is always in a state of flux. Are tartan and tattersall cutting edge or passé? Dimmers and LEDs, cans vs. high hats, overhead or undercabinet? Buy now and refinance later, or wait till mortgage rates drop and you’re feeling a bit more comfortable? So many questions, and fortunately our experts have all the answers, neatly organized in this guide’s four chapters detailing the ins and outs of buying, renovating, renting, and decorating a home, not to mention everyone’s favorite activity, shopping! On that note, our annual “Ultimate Shopping Guide” (page 100) has been updated to the minute and is intended for you to use as you navigate the dizzying world of home furnishings and accessories resources across the New York metropolitan region. It’s nice to see so many new additions moving in alongside established longtime neighbors both on Manhattan’s busiest avenues as well as in the farthest reaches of Nassau County and the Hudson Valley. Whether you’re shopping for a new desk chair with good lumbar support or embarking on a complete overhaul of a Victorian fixer-upper, this guide has the answers you’re looking for. So keep it on hand and dog-ear it to your heart’s content. Enjoy!

LETTER FROM THE CEO

HARMONIOUS INTERPLAY AS YOU OPEN THE PAGES OF THE FIFTH ANNUAL NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE, you’ll embark on a journey into the heart of a community that stands unparalleled in its depth of talent and collaborative spirit. This edition is more than just a collection of names and services: It is a vibrant conversation, echoing the expertise and camaraderie of the design world’s brightest minds. With its rich heritage and picturesque landscapes, New York has always been a beacon for creativity. Its homes are not mere structures; they are manifestations of dreams, aspirations, and stories. Behind every stately façade, sumptuous interior, and meticulously manicured garden is a team of design professionals, all maestros in their respective fields, creating a harmonious masterpiece together. This design guide stands as a testament to that collaboration.

Turning the pages is like overhearing a conversation between industry luminaries as they share trade secrets, discuss innovations, and build on one another’s ideas. It’s a dialogue that offers invaluable insights, not just for those within the industry but for anyone with a penchant for design.

I urge you to delve deep into this guide, to listen to the conversations, learn from the advice, and be inspired by the visions presented. Let it be a reminder that design, at its core, is a communal effort. In an industry that often champions individual achievements, The New York Design Guide highlights the beauty of collective genius.

P.S. Also included is “The List” (page 104), a compilation of design professionals whose work has been featured in NYC&G during the past 12 months.

HOME SWEET HOME

HOW CAN CLIENTS AND DESIGNERS HAVE THE BEST RELATIONSHIP POSSIBLE?

“Any good relationship is based on trust, and it’s important to build trust early on to have a successful project.” —Damon Liss

“Clients need to understand that the person they’re hiring is a professional and that design is a serious business.”

—Penny Drue Baird

“THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLIENT AND DESIGNER CAN BE A LONG AND INTIMATE ONE, SO A GOOD FIT IS IMPORTANT. YOU WANT TO WORK WITH SOMEONE WHOSE AESTHETIC YOU LOVE, BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER THEIR DESIGN PROCESS, THEIR LEVEL OF SERVICE, AND, OF COURSE, WHETHER THEY’RE SOMEONE YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE DINNER WITH!” —Paloma Contreras OUR PANEL OF

EXPERTS Penny Drue Baird Dessins, LLC Paloma Contreras Paloma Contreras Design Michael Cox Foley & Cox Damon Liss Damon Liss Design Christina Murphy Christina Murphy Interiors

30

“The most successful projects result from open communication, realistic expectations, and mutual trust.”

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

—Christina Murphy

“WHENEVER WE BEGIN NEW CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS, WE PUT IN PLACE WHAT WE DESCRIBE AS AN ‘HONESTY POLICY,’ WHICH MEANS HAVING OPEN COMMUNICATION AND COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY.” —Michael Cox

DESIGN GLOSSARY

C.O.M.:

“C.O.M., or customer’s own material, means that you will be providing the fabric to the upholsterer or manufacturer, rather than choosing from their selection.”

—Paloma Contreras

WHAT CLIENTS WANT

1

Divan:

“A low sofa without a back or arms. It’s similar to a daybed and offers a lot of versatility to a room’s design scheme.”

—Damon Liss

Maximalism:

“Exactly what is sounds like: More is more!” —Christina Murphy “A patinated material features a beautiful warmth and coloration or sheen that is the result of oxidation.”

—Damon Liss

Quartzite:

Verdigris:

“A very hard sandstone that is as durable as granite but has the characteristics and colors of marble.

It’s ideal for kitchens.” —Damon Liss

OPPOSITE: TIM LENZ (MARCH/APRIL 2023); THIS PAGE (TOP TO BOTTOM): BJÖRN WALLANDER (OCTOBER 2023), RIKKI SNYDER (MAY/JUNE 2022)

Schluter strip:

“A favorite contractor’s trick, this trim brings a crisp, finished edge to corners and is especially helpful in spots that transition from wallcovering to paint, eliminating the need for caulking.”

—Michael Cox

Patinated:

5

TOP 5

“A blue-green coloration that forms on copper or brass after it has been exposed to oxygen for a prolonged period.” —Damon Liss

“An aura of warmth and at least some element that feels handmade, such as handpainted wallpaper or hand-stenciled floors.”

—Christina Murphy

2

“Comfortable furnishings that endure the test of time.”

—Paloma Contreras

3 4

“Reassurance and respect.”

—Michael Cox

“Pizza ovens, inside the home and out, and decorative ranges, such as those

by La Cornue.”

—Damon Liss

5

“Comfort, beauty, and a wow factor!”

—Penny Drue Baird

HOW DO YOU MAKE LIGHTING WORK OPTIMALLY IN A LIVING ROOM? IN A KITCHEN? IN A BATH? THIS PAGE (LEFT TO RIGHT): SEAN LITCHFIELD (MAY/JUNE 2023), WILL ELLIS (MAY/JUNE 2018); OPPOSITE: KRIS TAMBURELLO (SEPTEMBER 2023)

“IT IS CRITICAL TO HAVE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF LIGHTING IN EVERY ROOM, WHICH HAS BECOME EASIER WITH THE ADVENT OF CONTEMPORARY DIMMING SYSTEMS.” —Damon Liss

“I believe in a layered approach to lighting, from overhead lighting for utilitarian purposes to decorative lighting that sets the mood, with options for task lighting as well.”

—Paloma Contreras

“IN KITCHENS AND BATHS, RECESSED LIGHTING AND PENDANT LIGHTS ARE KEY. YOU’LL HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER BRIGHT LIGHT, AS WELL AS SOFTER LIGHT FOR A WARMER AMBIANCE. IN LIVING ROOMS, I USUALLY RELY ON TABLE LAMPS, FLOOR LAMPS, AND SCONCES.” —Christina Murphy “Kitchens call for quite a variety, from recessed cans to pendants above the island to under-cabinet lighting. And in bathrooms, I prefer sconces on either side of the mirror for proper illumination of the body, along with overhead recessed cans for additional light. When space permits, a decorative chandelier or ceiling fixture is always nice.”

—Paloma Contreras

“Make lighting soft, warm, and balanced in living rooms; keep it bright, functional, and practical in kitchens; and employ everything from soft candlelight for romance to bright light for applying makeup in bathrooms.”

—Michael Cox

32

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

WHAT ARE THE BEST WAYS TO DISPLAY PERSONAL PHOTOS IN A HOME? “I prefer photographs in silver frames scattered here and there in bookshelves.”

—Paloma Contreras

“Stay away from large groupings of them, and ideally stick to identical or similarlooking frames. Photos typically look better displayed on a surface than on a wall, where they never seem to hang straight.”

—Penny Drue Baird

MIRROR, MIRROR:

“It depends on the client. We’ve done gallery walls with dozens of family photos, and we’ve put a few beautifully framed photos in private quarters, such as on a bedroom side table. Ask your clients to decide which approach they prefer.” —Michael Cox

“BEDROOM HALLWAYS ARE BETTER THAN MAIN HALLWAYS FOR CREATING FAMILY GALLERY WALLS. PHOTOS ALSO LOOK NICE WHEN THEY’RE STYLED WITHIN BOOKSHELVES, ALONGSIDE DECORATIVE OBJECTS.” —Damon Liss

“Framed black and white family photos in a bedroom hall can have a graphic impact.”

—Christina Murphy

WHO’S THE FAIREST?

“I’m partial to old Louis Philippe mirrors, which have both a clean shape and an antique character. And starburst mirrors are always nice.” —Christina Murphy

“One framed in vintage patinated metal.” —Damon Liss “A CONVEX MIRROR CAN ALMOST DOUBLE AS A PIECE OF ART, AND I ALSO LOVE A CRUSTY GILDED ANTIQUE MIRROR FOR MORE FORMAL SPACES.” —Paloma Contreras

“My forever and everywhere mirror is a classic rectangular beauty in a brass bolection frame. It’s like an interior’s little black dress.”

—Michael Cox

“I love all forms and shapes of mirrors, particularly round ones.” —Penny Drue Baird C O T TA G E S G A R D E N S . C O M

33

HOME SWEET HOME

ART SMARTS “Use art in every room if you can, even in a pass-through hallway or mudroom. It doesn’t have to be precious, expensive, or collectible, so long as it sparks imagination and inspiration. Think of it as a smile that you bring to a space.” —Michael Cox

“I always propose selecting artwork before the design process begins. In general, I love a mix of styles in the same room, from Old World to contemporary.” —Christina Murphy

“Art is essential for giving a room personality and making it feel finished. It can also bring color and personal perspective to a space.” —Damon Liss 34

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

“If a client is a collector, art can often be the impetus for a room’s design. Otherwise, we might make suggestions for pieces that will complement the interiors.”

—Paloma Contreras

OPPOSITE (LEFT TO RIGHT): DEBORAH JAFFE (MARCH 2015), HULYA KOLABAS (OCTOBER 2022); THIS PAGE (TOP TO BOTTOM): TIM STREET-PORTER (MARCH 2016), JOHN GRUEN (SEPTEMBER 2018)

“ART PLACEMENT DEPENDS LARGELY ON A ROOM’S ARCHITECTURE. SOME ROOMS HAVE A VARIETY OF APPROPRIATE SPOTS FOR PLACING ART, WHEREAS OTHERS CAN BE VERY LIMITED DEPENDING ON WALL SPACE.” —Penny Drue Baird

“Art is a great way to create tension in a space. For example, a traditional dining room can suddenly become much more interesting with a large-scale photograph or abstract painting, as opposed to a classical landscape or still-life.”

—Paloma Contreras

WHAT DESIGN TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING FOR 2024?

“The cultural zeitgeist has been stuck in a rut of neutral everything, modernist forms, and bouclé for far too long! Interiors infused with lots of color and pattern are coming up next.” —Paloma Contreras

“Marble—on walls and in furniture and accessories—and bronze in furnishings and fittings are now at the forefront.” —Penny Drue Baird

“NATURAL, COASTAL-INSPIRED TEXTURES AND MATERIALS, ARTISANAL AND HANDCRAFTED PIECES, AND A CONTINUED ATTENTION TO SMART HOMES AND HOME OFFICES.” —Damon Liss “Layers. Piling items you love on the cocktail table, adding extra pillows and throws for comfort and coziness, and combining multiple pieces into mini ‘collections.’

Pattern-on-pattern is becoming more appealing than the monochromatic blank slate.” —Michael Cox

WHICH TRENDS ARE ON THEIR WAY OUT?

36

“The ubiquitous modern farmhouse. I am ready to see it gone for good.” —Paloma Contreras

“GOLD PLUMBING: IT CAME ON QUICK AND HARD, BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE THE LONGEVITY OF NICKEL OR CHROME.”

“The fog of what I like to call ‘builder gray’ is beginning to recede, and I’m very happy to see this safe neutral go the way of the pandemic.” —Michael Cox

“Open floor plans and open shelving in kitchens.” —Penny Drue Baird

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

—Damon Liss

WHAT OLDER TRENDS ARE ENJOYING A RENAISSANCE? “Pretty, feminine details, such as chintz, skirted seating, and decorative trims, are lately bringing more personality to decorating again.” —Paloma Contreras

“OLD-WORLD LUXURIES SEEM TO BE REAPPEARING, SUCH AS SHIRRED BED SKIRTS, ENGLISH ANTIQUES, AND PLEATED FABRIC LAMPSHADES. I THINK THEY EMBRACE NOSTALGIA AND THE PURSUIT OF COMFORT.” —Christina Murphy

“Caning, rattan, and other woven materials help soften a room and create a less formal vibe.” —Damon Liss

“Some things just never go out of style. Coromandel screens, Chinese vases, a beautiful secretary, and painted furniture can always be incorporated into a contemporary design scheme.”

AMY LAMB (SEPTEMBER 2021)

—Penny Drue Baird

BACKSPLASHES AND VANITIES: WHAT ACCENT MATERIALS ARE YOU LOVING RIGHT NOW? “MARBLE IS ALWAYS POPULAR, BUT DON’T OVERLOOK BEAUTIFUL WOODS OR EVEN MIRRORED BACKSPLASHES. AND GLASS SINKS CAN BE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING IN BATHROOM VANITIES.”

—Penny Drue Baird

“Nothing beats the timelessness of marble and natural stone. Marble slabs as a backsplash are great, but also consider marble tile in a caning pattern—it feels fresh and unexpected.” —Paloma Contreras

HOW DO YOU MAKE A POWERFUL STATEMENT IN A POWDER ROOM?

“Powder rooms are like little jewel boxes, so you can take greater risks, such as with a jubilant wallpaper or a glossy lacquered paint finish.” —Paloma Contreras “Choose a surprisingly overscale wallcovering or the boldest paint color you can live with, then go all out with it on walls, trim, and the ceiling.”

—Michael Cox

“Wallpaper—the bolder the better. Plus, a vintage statement mirror and great lighting that will make everyone pretty.”

“A spectacular wall treatment, whether in a wallpaper with vibrant color or pattern or a material like stone.” —Penny Drue Baird “Given their small footprint, powder rooms are a great place to use indulgent materials like unusual stones, handmade tiles, and vintage lighting.” —Damon Liss

WHAT ARE THE KEY PRINCIPLES TO MAKING A HOUSE FEEL LIKE A HOME?

“A home is about the people who live in it, so it is important to listen to clients and incorporate elements of their personality.” —Damon Liss

“A CLIENT’S PERSONAL BELONGINGS ARE ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSCORING THE FEELING OF HOME.” —Penny Drue Baird “Consider both personality and hospitality—a home should express a client’s passion and demonstrate how they’d like to be welcomed in their own home.” —Michael Cox

—Paloma Contreras

“Making a house a home is all in the details: accessories, art, pillows, throws, books, flowers.” —Christina Murphy

WHAT ARE SOME FAVORITE WAYS TO DISPLAY TABLEWARE? “I like built-in china cabinets with antique glass doors.”

—Christina Murphy

“CLUSTER PIECES ALONGSIDE ART AND BOOKS ON SHELVING IN THE KITCHEN OR PANTRY OR ON A DINING ROOM CREDENZA.”

—Damon Liss

“Stack plates, within reason, in attractive piles on shelves in the kitchen and in cabinets, on sideboards, and even hanging on dining room walls.” —Michael Cox

HOW CAN YOU INCORPORATE SEASONAL DECOR WITHOUT MAKING TOO SPECIFIC A DESIGN STATEMENT?

“Woven materials and natural fibers are ideal in a beach house and ultimately make it seem summery, as opposed to an overt nautical theme.” —Damon Liss “Leave the seasonal decor to florists—fresh flower arrangements are fabulous in any room.” —Christina Murphy

“USE ACCESSORIES AND DECORATIONS IN SEASONAL COLORS THAT AVOID CLICHÉ, SUCH AS ORANGE AND GOLDEN KITCHEN UTENSILS RATHER THAN A SMATTERING OF PUMPKINS AND GOURDS.”

—Penny Drue Baird

“Decorate with fresh branches and leaves and bring nature into the home that way.”

READY TO BUY? KEEP THESE POINTERS IN MIND “Hire a broker who knows how to win the bid when it’s competitive, and to put in offers less than asking and still come out ahead.”

—Stacey Oestreich

“A lot of buyers want ‘brand new,’ but keep in mind that older residences have often proven themselves. There can be a lot of upheaval and problems with even the best new developments.” —Tyler Whitman

“MEET WITH MORTGAGE LENDERS AND BROKERS EARLY AND FIND OUT WHAT YOUR BUYING POWER AND FLEXIBILITY IS.”

—Stacey Oestreich

“Think about your longterm needs.

If you can stretch and get that extra bedroom now, it will save you in the long run when you want to upsize.”

“PEOPLE LIKE TO SAY WHEN IT’S A BAD MARKET AND WHY YOU SHOULDN’T BUY, BUT SOMETIMES THAT’S WHEN YOU SHOULD BUY. GENERALLY, IF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT THE MARKET IS HOT, THEN THAT’S WHEN THINGS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE AND SELLERS ARE DOING WELL. IN NEW YORK IN PARTICULAR, IT’S NEVER A BAD TIME TO BUY, EVEN IF INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH.” —Tyler Whitman

HOW CAN YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF RENTING YOUR APARTMENT, CONDO, OR CO-OP? “Make sure the space shows well when prospective tenants tour it, which means decluttering and depersonalizing. Clients want to envision their life, not your life.” —Michelle Griffith

“For short-term rentals, go for a higher price, with the understanding that your tenant does not plan on staying that long.

For a long-term rental, establish one price for the first year and then an escalation fee for the second year.” —Stacey Oestreich 60

“I always tell my clients the positives and negatives of each space I show them, but most know in an instant.

HOW DO YOU ADVISE CLIENTS ON WHETHER TO TAKE THE LEAP? “If a house meets most of their needs, I encourage clients to make an offer, even if they’re afraid they might lose out to a higher bid. Sometimes the buyer with the highest offer doesn’t always pan out, so clients should step in with a real offer and bid until they feel comfortable, even if they don’t win in the end.” —Stacey Oestreich

“SOMETIMES CLIENTS WANT TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT ELSE COMES ON THE MARKET AND IF PRICES ARE GOING TO COME DOWN, BUT THAT COULD MEAN MISSED OPPORTUNITIES, SO I EXPLAIN THAT THOSE OPPORTUNITIES MIGHT NOT COME BACK.” —Yorgos Tsibiridis

“In New York, offers aren’t binding, which is a blessing and a curse. Generally, you have about a week before anything becomes binding, so I always say, ‘Let’s make the offer and get an idea of how flexible the seller is.’

You’ll never know if the seller is willing to negotiate until you make an offer.” —Tyler Whitman “SOME CLIENTS MOVE QUICKLY, AND OTHERS HAVE ANALYSIS PARALYSIS. I ALWAYS PROVIDE THEM WITH DATA AND THOROUGHLY RUN THROUGH THE NUMBERS TO GIVE THEM EXTRA CONFIDENCE.”

—Michelle Griffith

62

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

BIDDING WARS: CHOOSE YOUR STRATEGY “While representing a buyer, I always suggest making a ‘no regrets’ offer, the number you’re not going to freak out about if you do get the property, even if you might feel that you’re overpaying.” —Tyler Whitman

“Buyers in a bidding war think they are overpaying, but in the long run they typically are getting a good deal on a very desirable property.”

—Yorgos Tsibiridis

“In addition to your bid, try writing a letter to the seller that tugs on the heartstrings: What’s your story, how do you envision living in their home?

It makes the seller see you as more than just a number.” —Tyler Whitman

“I ENCOURAGE MY BUYERS TO GO IN EARLY WITH AN OFFER RATHER THAN WAIT FOR A BIDDING WAR.” —Stacey Oestreich

“You don’t want to leave anything on the table in a bidding war, so I tell clients to give me a number that they will not regret offering if they lose the property to someone else.” —Michelle Griffith “Sellers have their needs, too, so I always call the seller’s agent to see what might be exciting to the seller outside of price.

A seller might want a delayed closing to have enough time to find a new home, for example, so she might be willing to give a preferential deal.” —Tyler Whitman

WHAT KIND OF LAYOUT DO CLIENTS WANT RIGHT NOW?

“OPEN FLOOR PLANS ARE STILL POPULAR, BUT THERE’S AN INCREASED DEMAND FOR SOME PRIVATE SPACE.” —Stacey Oestreich

“I’m seeing a move away from wide-open spaces and a growing desire for cozy rooms that are still nicely sized. More compartmentalized homes that were shunned in the past are now coming back.”

—Tyler Whitman

“Bright kitchens, high ceilings, lots of light, and, in the city, a stunning view!”

“NORTHERN WESTCHESTER IS STILL VERY HOT. INVENTORY IS LOW, BUT THE BUYERS ARE STILL THERE, AND WE ARE SEEING THEM ALL YEAR LONG. FALL 2023 WAS VERY BUSY, WITH 26 SHOWINGS IN TWO DAYS AND THREE OFFERS.”

“In New York City, the West Village and Tribeca continue to be hot, so I often advise clients to expand their search if they can’t get what they want in these top-choice neighborhoods.”

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO MAKE AN OFFER? “Whenever you like a house. I recently took out first-time buyers who were just starting their search. They loved a house on a lake which had an offer that fell through, and they called 24 hours later and said, ‘We want that house, let’s put in an offer.’ They closed within 30 days.” —Stacey Oestreich

“SIMPLY WHEN YOU FIND THE RIGHT HOUSE AND HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO AFFORD IT.” —Tyler Whitman

“Two times: When a property is new to the market—before other offers have come in—or when the listing is stagnant with price reductions and a negotiable seller.” —Yorgos Tsibiridis C O T TA G E S G A R D E N S . C O M

MORTGAGE RATES ARE HIGHER NOW THAN IN THE PAST 20 YEARS: IS IT STILL A GOOD TIME TO BUY?

66

“THE COST OF RENTING IN NEW YORK CITY IS THROUGH THE ROOF. HESITANT BUYERS SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THEY CAN REFINANCE IN THE FUTURE.” —Michelle Griffith

“Smart buyers don’t obsess about what’s to come next, they simply make their purchase, sometimes with more cash out and less mortgage to finance, if possible, with the knowledge that they can refinance later.”

—Stacey Oestreich

“Agents like to say that you’re marrying the house and dating interest rates, but we don’t ever really know if interest rates will go down. If they do, though, you can refinance and have the best of both worlds.” —Tyler Whitman

“YES. IT’S POSSIBLE TO GET A BETTER PROPERTY WITH LESS COMPETITION AND FEWER BIDDING WARS.” —Yorgos Tsibiridis

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FLIP? “Renovating is more expensive than ever, so buy a flip property in a good location with low monthly costs. The margins have to be good for a successful flip, and most people won’t appreciate it if you put in a $10,000 stove instead of a $20,000 stove.” —Tyler Whitman

“PART OF SUCCESSFUL FLIPPING RIGHT NOW IS BUYING A PROPERTY WITH ENOUGH CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS SO THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO TOO MUCH WORK OR HOLD ON TO IT FOR TOO LONG. CONSTRUCTION IS UNPREDICTABLE AND CAN OFTEN TAKE A LONG TIME.” —Stacey Oestreich “Hire a good contractor and stay within your budget, which means knowing where to spend money and where not to.” —Yorgos Tsibiridis

WHEN IS THE SWEET SPOT FOR SHOPPING FOR NEW YORK REAL ESTATE?

“Spring is always busiest, particularly for buyers who have just received their year-end bonuses and have more purchasing power. And lots of sellers list their homes in the spring, hoping to close in the summer and deal with moving while the kids are still out of school and before the new school year starts.” —Tyler Whitman

“During the spring and after Labor Day. The best time for snagging a deal is in the middle of winter.” —Yorgos Tsibiridis

“It’s always busiest in the fall and the spring. I typically tell my buyers to bid in January and February, when the market is slow and sellers have grown frustrated with showing their homes.” —Michelle Griffith C O T TA G E S G A R D E N S . C O M

—Steven Yavanian

“Whether you’re renovating an entire landscape or simply starting a vegetable garden, be realistic about your expectations, your time commitment, and your investment parameters.

A landscape architect or designer can help guide you in the right direction.” —Louis Fusco

“Get ready to experiment and make it your own.”

—Rosalia Sanni

GARDEN GLOSSARY Green mulching:

“The use of ground-cover plants, such as low-growing grasses or sedges, to suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and improve soil health while also serving as an attractive and sustainable alternative to traditional mulch materials like wood chips or stones.”

—Steven Yavanian

WHAT CLIENTS WANT

Matrix planting:

“This type of planting mimics many natural plant communities in the wild and creates a beautiful visual mosaic of colors and textures. You can easily achieve this effect by planting carpets of a ground cover, such as grasses, with other plants, such as wildflowers, providing pops of color and seasonal and structural interest.”

“The phenomenon in which some trees, especially certain types of oaks and beech, retain dead leaves on their branches throughout the winter instead of shedding them like most other trees.” —Steven Yavanian

TOP 5

Mulch:

“A protective blanket of wood chips, gravel, or pebbles on the ground that helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. It also helps plants survive weather extremes, but be sure to apply a light layer, since too much mulch can potentially bury the base of a plant and end up suffocating it.” —Rosalia Sanni

Senescence:

“The process of aging in plants, which leads to falling leaves in autumn, when plants recycle nutrients and save energy for the winter.”

—Steven Yavanian

“Low-maintenance plants with seasonal interest.”

—Rosalia Sanni

“Spaces dedicated to different activities, from relaxing to entertaining.”

—Steven Yavanian

“Outdoor fireplaces and firepits.”

—Louis Fusco

BOTTOM FAR RIGHT: RIKKI SNYDER (MAY/JUNE 2023)

“Plants with longlasting blooms.”

WHICH PLANTS ARE DEMANDING, BUT WORTH THE EFFORT?

“Apple trees need a lot of care throughout the year, from winter pruning to protecting fruit from disease, pests, and rodents.

But growing your own fresh fruit is an unparalleled reward.” —Steven Yavanian

APPLE TREE

“Lavender and roses, although they provide stunning results when grown in the right soil, along with proper sun exposure and water conditions.” —Louis Fusco LAVENDER

84

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

“Fruiting apple trees and fragrant roses.” —Rosalia Sanni

WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO PLANT OR FLOWER? “We typically include some type of viburnum and hydrangea in our garden designs.

Native options include oakleaf hydrangea and ‘Blue Muffin’ or ‘Cranberrybush’ viburnums.” —Louis Fusco

“Among many favorites: Sweetbay magnolia, summersweet, Geranium ‘Rozanne’, carex, and autumn moor grass.”

GERANIUM ‘ROZANNE’

—Steven Yavanian

WHICH PLANTS ARE GREAT LOW-MAINTENANCE CHOICES? “First, always look for trees and shrubs that suit the size of the space you’ve allocated for them. Some low-maintenance favorites in our region are willow oak, sweetbay magnolia, rhododendron, inkberry, Virginia sweetspire, and dwarf summersweet. Some light annual pruning might be necessary, but overall, these plants are long-lived and provide great seasonal interest.” —Steven Yavanian

“WE TRY TO SPECIFY NATIVE PLANTS WHENEVER POSSIBLE, WHICH TEND TO REQUIRE LESS MAINTENANCE AND WATERING AND ARE GENERALLY DEER RESISTANT. FERNS AND SEDGES ARE GREAT OPTIONS FOR SHADE GARDENS. TWO WONDERFUL NATIVE FALLFLOWERING PERENNIALS ARE AGASTACHE ‘BLACK ADDER’ AND VERNONIA LETTERMANNII ‘IRON BUTTERFLY’.”

—Louis Fusco

ORNAMENTAL GRASSES

“Ornamental grasses and evergreen shrubs and trees.” —Rosalia Sanni C O T TA G E S G A R D E N S . C O M

85

OUTDOOR LIVING

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SEASONAL PLANTS? “Cherry trees for early spring. After months of nothing but gray skies and mud, it’s nice to see a cheery announcement that spring is here.”

—Rosalia Sanni

“MOUNTAIN PHLOX IN THE SPRING, ROSES AND HYDRANGEAS IN THE SUMMER, AGASTACHE, AUTUMN FERNS, AND WINTERBERRY IN THE FALL, AND PERENNIAL GERANIUMS THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS.” —Louis Fusco

CULVER’S ROOT

MOUNTAIN PHLOX

WHAT PLANTS DO YOU PREFER FOR A TERRACE?

“Joe-Pye weed has towering plumes of pink flowers, and Culver’s root is super architectural, with rhythmic whorled leaves on tall stems and thin spires of pink or white flowers.” —Steven Yavanian

“Use hardy perennials, shrubs, and natives in terrace planters whenever possible. They’ll winter over and provide years of enjoyment.” —Louis Fusco

“GAURA HAS LONG THIN STEMS THAT CAN WITHSTAND STRONG WINDS AND ARE AWASH WITH LONG-BLOOMING WHITE FLOWERS. YARROW, WHICH COMES IN A RANGE OF COLORS AND SIZES, IS GREAT ON A CLIFFSIDE.” —Steven Yavanian

“Jasmine, from summer to frost. I love the aroma.” —Rosalia Sanni 86

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

YARROW

WHICH NATIVE PLANTS DO YOU TEND TO USE MOST?

“Many of our project sites include wetlands and buffer areas that we try to treat as multi-seasonal gardens of appropriate native plants, including red twig dogwood, witch hazel, river birch, blue flag iris, swamp milkweed, and marsh marigolds.” —Louis Fusco “HOLLY, SERVICEBERRY, AND GERANIUMS.” —Rosalia Sanni

MARSH MARIGOLDS

“In addition to our favorite sweetbay magnolia and summersweet, add yarrow to the list. It’s a worldwide native!”

—Steven Yavanian

WHICH PLANTS CREATE YEARROUND INTEREST? “Dwarf evergreens can provide necessary structure to a garden and continuous visual interest.” —Louis Fusco

“RHODODENDRON, INKBERRY, AND SWEETBAY MAGNOLIA, ALONG WITH ORNAMENTAL GRASSES AND SOME PERENNIALS THAT ARE ATTRACTIVE THROUGH THE WINTER MONTHS IF YOU WAIT TILL SPRING TO CUT THEM BACK. WE ALSO LIKE TO INCORPORATE EVERGREEN HEDGES, SINCE THEY PROVIDE CONSISTENT STRUCTURE AND A BACKDROP FOR OTHER PLANTS.” —Steven Yavanian

RHODODENDRON

“A combination of evergreens and ornamental plants with a succession of blooms throughout the seasons is ideal.”

—Rosalia Sanni

OUTDOOR LIVING

VEGETABLE AND HERB GARDENS: TOP TIPS “If you’re pressed for time, try perennial vegetables and herbs like chives, creeping oregano, hardy rosemary, rhubarb, and sage. They come back year after year and are also beautiful ornamentals.”

—Steven Yavanian

“Plant what you like to eat, while keeping in mind that every year, plants perform differently based on weather. Sometimes it’s a tomato year, and other times it’s a cucumber year, so don’t give up!”

—Rosalia Sanni

“CONSIDER RAISED GARDEN BEDS, WHICH MAKE GARDEN ORGANIZATION AND SOIL PREP MUCH EASIER. AND BE REALISTIC ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE VEGETABLE GARDEN, THE TIME YOU CAN SPEND ON IT, AND HOW MUCH FOOD YOU WANT TO GROW. THINK ABOUT DEDICATING ONE OR TWO BEDS FOR CUT FLOWERS.” —Louis Fusco

WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW THAT WILL PAY OFF IN THE FUTURE?

“If you have the space, plant an oak tree. It will provide shade for future generations and habitat for thousands of animals and insects.”

—Steven Yavanian

“USE GOOD TOPSOIL.”

—Rosalia Sanni

OAK TREE

THE NEW YORK DESIGN GUIDE 2024

“Work with a landscape professional to create a master plan, which will help you avoid having to redo things in the future.” —Louis Fusco

WINTER WONDERS

“Winterberry and red twig dogwood.”

—Louis Fusco

“DON’T OVERLOOK RHODODENDRONS, WHICH HAVE LARGE EVERGREEN LEAVES. WE’RE ALSO FANS OF CLIPPED EVERGREEN HEDGES.” —Steven Yavanian

“Boxwood, hellebores, red twig dogwood, and witch hazel are my faves.” —Rosalia Sanni

WITCH HAZEL

WHICH PLANTS DO YOU RELY ON FOR SUBTLE COLOR IN THE GARDEN? “Plants with chartreuse green foliage, even if they don’t flower. The leaves add a special dimension to a landscape palette.” —Louis Fusco

“Lilacs in spring and hydrangeas in summer.” —Rosalia Sanni LILACS

“Flowering plants with soft shades of pink, lavender, and cool blue can provide color without being visually overwhelming.” —Steven Yavanian C O T TA G E S G A R D E N S . C O M
