A little bit about........ Frank & Rose

We created Your Decor NYC officially on May 15, 2004. We have been married longer and together even longer.

Together we bring a balance of form and function. We bring a dynamic to a project that allows an ease of operations, practical solution, and open communication. Each project is reviewed by both of us to optimize the results. All the principals that make a great marriage have made our company successful.
The company was conceptualized by Frank while working for Glenwood Management as a rental consultant. Once clients signed the lease they all asked the same questions.....

Who's going to paint?
Who's going to install the TV?
Who's going to hang the drapes and artwork?
And what about the light fixtures? Can they be replaced?

It can be daunting to have to call several different trades and rely on the fact that they will available on the same day? On time? and work Cohesively? Most likely this is not the case. And when you have taken a few days off of work to settle in......this process needs to be streamlined...................Your Decor NYC has succeeded!

We then took these principals and expanded our services to include apartment rejuvenation, making a name for our selves with in the Real Estate Industry as the company to go to for both sellers to update and freshen their apartment for sale and buyers to rejuvenate the space to call it theirs.

If you already are living in your space and your looking for a little help pulling the space together with different design elements or would like to bounce your creative ideas off of us, just call!

Lets face it living in Manhattan or moving into the city is a unique experience in itself. Have a company on call experienced to handle all the intricacies of urban living is invaluable.

We love making peoples spaces theirs! We love seeing the Before and Afters!! We love to hear your ideas and visions! We Love Your Decor NYC!

Ms. Weber's apartment had all the necessary bones for a successful rejuvenation. Ultimately when we are evaluating a project for a rejuvenation we are looking at cosmetic corrections therefore eliminating the time and often costly renovation process.
This apartment was a perfect example of a little, going along way.

The Closets- All were ample and as Jessie said, "I am a minimalist. I don’t have a lot of stuff.” The focus was on creating the right place for the right purpose. An entry closet should work for YOU. If you like to hang your jackets and bags on hooks a closet outfitted with bars for hangers is NOT going to work. Its an easy solution that gives back daily.

The Kitchen Cabinets- In Ms. Weber's case the cabinets were in really good condition. The layout was maximized using all available space. However, the cabinets did not fit Jessie design aesthetic and minimalist approach. There was several layers of decorative faux finish that needed to be sanded down to give us a smooth surface. They were then and primed (enamel underbody) and painted using a Farrow & Ball'sWimborne White #239. The results are very dramatic! We painted the walls using Farrow & Ball's Skylight #205.

The Kitchen Floor- With all the wonderful upgrades in the kitchen all of our focus turned to the floors! Frank assessed the floor and determined that it was level and solid. We were then able to lay a floating floor right on top! This means 1 Day from start to finish!

Lighting Fixtures- Lighting is one of the most essential details in an apartment. It is often overlooked, misdirected or underplayed. We selected dropped lighting fixture in the hallway that would soften the space and create an illuminating glow. A seat and task lighting will be added to fully optimize the space. In the kitchen the original fixture was ceiling mounted. Ms. Weber is very petite so we were able to again select a dropped fixture bringing the light down to a more suitable height. There is nothing worse than poor lighting in the kitchen and with this modern Restoration Hardware fixture we are able to do a pre installation adjustment.

The Living Room Floor- The floor was in descent condition. There were normal worn in spots, some crackling, small gouges, and discoloration. Floors are so easy to do in an empty apartment that Ms. Weber agreed immediately on the upgrade. The floors went through a multi process sanding to even them out and remove the existing stain. The new stain was clear to bring out the beautiful natural tones of the floors.

Molding- The existing molding was a standard 2" molding that over the years had become chipped and laden with old drippy paint. It weighed the apartment down and aged it. New 4" molding was installed throughout. It is uplifting and even gives the illusion of higher ceilings.
