Playroom- The mini apartment

Debra Goldberg, client

Having worked in graphic and industrial design for 25 years, I was hardly a decorator’s dream client. I had high (read unreasonable) standards, extensive (but not interior) design experience, and was highly opinionated (but never in doubt). Luckily for me, my wife, and my apartment, we met Sarah Trumbore. She taught me what works and what doesn’t work in an apartment design scheme. She brought impeccable taste, design management experience and knows every resource in New York. She was a delight to work with. A true professional. I look forward to seeing the work her new firm will produce. I know it will be great.

Private Client

I knew Sarah from way back when, and I have watched her grow from a young girl with a passion for interior design, into a college graduate of interior design who has worked for some amazing designers. So when I moved from Boston to South Carolina I knew I needed her expertise and eye in helping me with a vision for our new Southern Paradise. I was so impressed with her ideas, excitement and execution. She turned a dark, boring house into something publishable. She works with so much passion for the trade and that passion has grown over the years from a girl who knew she wanted to be a designer, to a woman who has created some of the most breathtaking spaces. We absolutely love and get so many compliments on the beautiful home she has helped create for us! We will continue working with Sarah for years to come…

Since we purchased our home a little over a year ago, I have been so excited to transform this little closet/storage area into a playroom. It is located on the 3rd floor off one of the guest bedrooms. I want to set it up like a mini apartment. I posted an instagram story yesterday polling if a leopard rug was a good idea for a boys’ playroom. The results were just about even. Slightly in favor of yes! fun! I have mapped out two different options for the playroom that I have in mind. It is primarily for boys but they will have girl friends, right?! The jungle look and the classic contemporary look. Let me know what you think!
