AOI Studio updates: Mid-summer
We can barely believe it’s already the middle of summer! June and July have been an exciting and hectic time for the AOI team, with so much progress happening across eight projects and the brand new AOI offices. We are also so thrilled with how Fenimore Lane’s re-launch went, and thank Roxanne of Hanna Creative Co for designing such a beautiful site for us! We hope you love it too :)
Read below for what’s been happening chez AOI; we hope you’ve been enjoying all the stone fruit, sandy feet, and sunshine that summer has to offer.
//Project Updates
Southampton
Progress is chugging along at one of our Southampton projects; the photo above is a snap of one of the murals AO designed in collaboration with The Mural Source installed in the primary bedroom suite.
We also installed new custom wet bars in the dining room and custom furniture in the office at our other Southampton project this month! For more in progress photos of these projects, head here.
New Canaan
Our New Canaan project is rounding out so nicely; we can’t wait for our clients to move in with their kids. We love seeing the Climbing Blossoms pattern from AO’s collection with The Mural Source installed in one of the powder rooms.
The wallpaper in the kids’ playroom upstairs makes our day every time we see it, too!
Upper East Side
We’re making progress on one of our NYC projects, selecting slabs for the kitchen and managing the gut renovation of this 1950’s pre-war co-op. The slab was delivered to the apartment (successfully!), and we all breathed a sigh of relief 😂
//STUDIO Updates
We have a sign at the AOI offices! Here’s to being “official” ;)
We are also so excited to sofficially launch the redesign for Fenimore Lane! A huge shoutout to the amazing Roxanne Hanna at Hanna Creative Co!
Ariel will also be taking 1:1 Design Consultations on The Expert starting at the end of July, so be sure to book in advance!
We love hearing from you, so feel free to drop us a line here with any questions, and be sure to follow along for even more updates at AOI. Happy Summer!
//AO’s SUMMER Picks
MAKE this “no-bake” raspberry pie, a recipe from the North American Raspberry & Blackberry association, no less, which we found via the very chic Hallie Meyers-Shyer (writer and director of one of our favorite movies, Home Again – and Nancy Meyers’s daughter!)
WEAR this gorgeous cutout Liberty frock – perfect for a garden party with a glass of rosé in hand.
READ “A Loving Table”, a compilation of entertaining tips and tricks, mixed with personal stories, recipes and more (AO happens to be the first chapter!)
USE these gorgeous and painted blue and white plates for a summer soirée, al fresco.
WATCH Amanda Lindroth’s Create Academy course on designing homes for entertaining – beautiful, eloquent, and a great escape from reality.
Speaking of our gal Nancy, FAWN over Nancy Meyer’s LA home, featured in AD! Designed by the fabulous Mark Sikes (check out his Talk Shop here) and photographed by Amy Neusinger. The photo of Nancy with a leaf blower = true gift to society.
