I make your life organized, stylish and dynamic through the guise of my 3 services: photojeanie, apartmentjeanie and partyjeanie. As long as I can recall, I have been streamlining other people’s lives using my top notch organization skills and keen sense of observation. My unwavering desire to make everything look pretty and orderly has landed me in the pages of Town & Country, Town & Country Travel and BUST magazines and a feature spot on HGTV’s Small Space Big Style. Please, please please contact me with your design dilemmas, composition conflicts or festive fumbles and we’ll create something that goes from flop to fab in a New York minute.
The owners of this 2-bedroom apartment in Long Island City are both super creative and have careers in graphic arts and design. The furnishings and art reflected their stylishly modern taste. With the welcomed addition of a baby into their busy lives, the usual tidy home became undone. The project was equal parts massive organization and reclaiming the design direction.
A crafty scrapbook not only documents a joyous occasion with photos and paper, but also utilizes unconventional materials to enhance the visual impact. Scanned paper napkins and vintage food photos establish the tone and story for this festive and fun cocktail party.
This surprise birthday cocktail party was to honor Philadelphia’s premiere event designer. The party was a few days before Christmas and the room needed to accommodate 50 guests, 3 servers, 2 hosts and 1 English Bulldog. As every smart host knows, it is important to put a glass in the hand of your guests upon arrival.
apartmentjeanie: style blendingThe owner of this 1-bedroom condo had been living here for 3 years before committing to a design direction. Between her first and second appointments, she had *inherited* a selection of home furnishings from her parents and grandparents. It was necessary to blend what she already owned and the 2 disparaging styles into a cohesive design that reflected her personal style.
The main food station was created for an intimate size engagement party. The groom-to-be is a staunch meat eater and his bride-to-be a devout vegetarian. Both have a love of cheese and sweets – especially rice krispie treats. The table setting is a mix of high brow sophisticated – fine china, crystal stemware, sterling silver and quirky kitsch – vintage soda cases, carnival chalkware and toe tags for labels.
Many years ago when I was a student in London, Time Out magazine was my bible. This indispensable city guide was my ticket to culture, cuisine and cool. I still feel that way about the magazine – especially when they feature something as awesome as this…
yep, that would be me! well, really my apartment, but we’re are somewhat one & the same. I am incredibly thrilled and humbled by the experience. The support of friends, clients and basic strangers…
It gives me great pleasure to introduce the newest staff member here at photojeanie HQ. Tater Tot the bulldog puppy was handpicked by our senior social director, Little Bit. An excellent addition to the team, we are still fine tuning his role in the company. We believe Tater Tot has a bright future in the pr department as he has taken a dozen meeting since arriving and really commands a crowd. We expect great things from this feisty young…
Now is the busiest time in a visual artist’s calendar year – October’s prep for holiday has segued to November’s installation. While I may be hip deep in glitter and fairy dust that doesn’t mean I should shirk my blog writing responsibilities. Very early this morning when I was rolling out of Bergdorf Goodman‘s employee exit, I was thrilled to see the Halloween windows were still intact and with my sub par Android camera I snapped a few shots. I…
I’ve been buying a lot of photography of late (damn you, Fab!) which is awesome, but problematic as there is zero available wall space in which to feature it. Recently, I stumbled upon Ryan Roberts‘ brilliant and hilarious photo work. I could have easily purchased the entire collection! Since I want to acquire (another) brother for Little Bit, I need to be prudent with my art allowance.
Ryan Robert‘s photography encompasses all that I love – bright colors, graphic paper…
My Etsy shop was never intended to be a money maker, but rather an opportunity to further market the apartmentjeanie brand while simultaneously ridding me of my ornate frame hoarding practice. Recently I had been approached by a potential customer who really liked the epoxy resin frames that fill the shop. She wanted the silver art deco frame to be converted into a mirror with a custom finish. Until you have sanded, cleaned, painted, glittered and covered something in…
