    What Is An Interior Designer...Really

    Hello Internet! After a lot of saying "I want to get back into writing my blog again," here I finally am. I figure I will use this first post to reintroduce myself and give you a little perspective what it is I do. I am an Interior Designer and Project Manager for a multi-family (a fancy way to say apartment buildings) ownership and management company in Philadelphia, PA. I've pretty much explored every facet of the design industry in the few years (okay, fine. 8 years. Are y

    West Philadelphia Bachelor Pad

    I am so very excited to share this great project with you! This West Philadelphia Bachelor Pad is our first completed turn-key project. This was a true whirlwind project as we only had two weeks from the time we were contacted to when our client was moving in. That meant designing, selecting, sourcing, and installing EVERYTHING for this one-bedroom apartment in a matter of days and not weeks. The Concept Typically I would sit down with a potential client, talk through their v

    Five Great (Non-Hack) IKEA Finds

    Everyone I speak to has their own opinion about IKEA, you either LOVE it or LOATHE it. It seems like there is really no in between on this topic. Either way, there are a few awesome products that seem to show up constantly in design magazines and on your Pinterest boards. Here is a list of my personal faves. NOCKEBY Sofa ($899.00)- This is one of the best sofas you will find for under $1,000. I used this for the Packard Loft Model to achieve a comfortable modern look that you

    What Does An Interior Designer Do?

    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told someone that I’m an interior designer and they respond with, “Oh My God!!! That must be so much fun to just pick out paint and pillows all day.” Or some variation thereof. I’m here to tell you that is definitely NOT what I do all day. Being a designer takes a lot of hard work, long hours, and training. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to tell give you a small insight into what an interior designer actually does. If I went into e

    Interior Design Licensing and Why You Should Give a Damn

    Updated March 1, 2019 If you live in Pennsylvania, like I do, and are part of the design community, like I am, you know there is an important piece of legislation that has been the topic of conversation for quite some time. Like, longer than most new designers coming into the field have been alive. The current bill, House Bill 1102, is in front of the House. If you are not a regular in the community you are probably thinking, " That's all well and good and I hope you get what

    Part One: What you Really Need in a Wine Cellar, and it’s Not Wine!: The Essentials

    Adding the words ‘wine cellar’ to the description of your home, restaurant, hotel or club, by virtue alone, instantly glams up your space. Accompanied by an automatic picture of gleaming, curated (yes, curated - some people hate that word, but wine cellars almost promise to be curated) bottles stored carefully, the follow up question is almost immediate: “Can I see it?” And that question was the point all along, right? Showing off the cellar shows off the wine and vice versa.

    Monday Inspirations: The Essence of Interior Design

    This has to be by far, one of the best quotes for summing up interior design. It captures what every designer strives for so absolutely and perfectly. Thank you, Mr. Hadley. Learn More About Albert Hadley "The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what's in or what's out. This is not an easy job." - Albert Hadley #interiordesig

    10 Kinda Random Things About Me

    Hi! I'm Danielle, CEO and Principal Designer at Nicole Elizabeth INTRS. One question that comes up a lot is where the name Nicole Elizabeth comes from, since my name is Danielle.

    10 Cozy Throw Blankets

    The past week in Philadelphia has been nothing but freezing. So much so I actually put a sweater on our Rottweiler to take him out (He looked freaking adorable and I think he needs to wear a sweater more often). Since we live in a hundred year-old building I found myself under blankets for most of the week so I thought I would share 10 of my favorite ones with you. These blankets are sure to add a cozy element to your home's decor and keep you toasty warm through the winter.

    Monday Inspiration: Defy Labels

    When I started Nicole Elizabeth back in 2016 (I know it's not THAT long ago but sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago) this quote from Bunny Williams kinda became the backbone of our company values. I really do strive to create spaces that reflect our clients and not what the trend is that moment or my personal design style.

    Designer vs. Decorator: What Is The Difference

    If you have ever experienced any kind of confusion when defining the role of an interior design, have no fear! As someone who is relatively new to the world of design, I quickly realized that I didn’t exactly know all the ins-and-outs of interior design either. There are so many questions that come to mind just when trying to understand what exactly an interior designer does. Is it someone you hiring when you’re looking to give a space a fresh face, new paint, and some fancy

    I am so excited to be revealing our first corporate office project! Our client, redIQ, was moving from a co-working space in Chelsea to their own dedicated office in One Grand Central Place. Our goal was to create a space that allowed them to keep all the fun aspects of a startup and allow their new brand identity to shine through. The finished space, as you can see for yourself, definitely takes on a personality of its own! redIQ recently went through a brand refresh, and wi

    10 Things You Need For An Awesome Bar Cart

    We finally made it to Friday!!!! Nothing screams “I have my life together” more than a sophisticated at-home bar space. I’m not talking about some terrifying college graveyard of liquor bottles sitting on top of the fridge or that stack of red solo cups shoved to the back of the counter. Creating a modern and sleek bar space in your home gives you the perfect excuse to host friends and family for an elegant (or casual, sweatpants only) cocktail party any night of the week. De
