BIRMINGHAM, AL RESIDENCE / January 8, 2013 by Andy Goldsborough

One of the projects that has proven to be the most rewarding I have designed is a house for my best friend, her husband and their family in Birmingham, Alabama. It is also the first project I have done in Alabama, which has special meaning to me being that it’s home. The house was built in the 60’s and I started the project in 2006 with an addition of a playroom and three new children’s bedrooms as well as a double height family room and custom kitchen. The first phase took approximately two years to complete and the clients decided to take a much needed break and focus on their family afterwards. Phase two began in 2010 and involved updating the existing house and adding a new entrance and master bedroom suite and bath as well as a new powder room. Following are a few of the images of the house nearing completion that I photographed over the holidays and furniture installation will happen over the next few months. Thank you to my wonderful clients and friends for this labor of love project!

Thank you to all of the amazing craftsmen and fabricators that made this project so special. As well as my favorite furniture dealers and friends in New York. I can’t wait to install all of the beautiful furniture and objects my clients and I have collected over the past year!

EAST HAMPTON RESIDENCE / July 10, 2012 by Andy Goldsborough

This summer Andy Goldsborough Interior Design is nearing completion on a project in East Hampton. For my first design post on my own work I am sharing a special project and some of the process and details encompassing the design and fabrication. This project is for a couple that I previously designed an apartment for in New York and this is their first house. Repeat clients are always my favorite as you develop a level of trust and friendship, and this particular couple both have incredibly refined taste and eye for great design. They wanted a house that had a very quiet color palette and was a relaxing getaway from the city, but also kept in mind kid-friendly materials since they have three young children. Following are the images in progress and I hope to update later in the summer when the project is complete.
