Renovations

I have never heard of her but her work look pretty good. I do think her custom millwork is on the high side. there are many places you can go and have it made for less

Like that she works in different styles - not all straight modern .
Fabulous marketing. Also good that except for that one cow project jobs are referenced by street/ area only. Protects client's privacy.

I only looked at the Eldorado video. Her reference to "Arts & Crafts / Deco" might have been a slip of the tongue, but it suggests that she's not exactly a student of the period in general and Roth's work in particular. The finished product gives a similar impression: perfectly nice; just not particularly rooted in the building or its history. Of course, the style may simply reflect the client's taste.

Wow west81st - heaven forbid an architect/ designer put the desires of the client over the historical style of the building in which they choose to live. It's heresy, heresy I say and should NOT be allowed .
Then again YOU try to live with a room all "beautifully" paneled in wood and see if you could resist tearing it out because it's just too damned dark and depressing. And not everyone loves white subway tile for kitchens and baths.

I'm too lazy to look at what you're discussing, but it should be noted that the prevailing approach to design in a historic context these days is to recognize that we always fail when we try to match, so something complementary (but distinctly different) often works best.

ph41: As I said, the work looks nice, and it's obviously what the client wanted. I wouldn't have given the style-clash much thought if she hadn't mixed up two movements that are not only quite different but in some ways antithetical.

But you got me on one thing: I do love me some subway tile - in its place, that is. I wouldn't put it in a Tuscan villa.

Alanhart: Good point.
