In a quiet, suburban neighbourhood northeast of New York city, this Victorian home is starting a new life thanks to the recent renovation led by Crystal Sinclair Designs. ‘We wanted to bring the calm grandeur of the surrounding environment inside the house,’ says founder Crystal Sinclair, who is known for her bold aesthetic infused with geometric elements.
This project is not the first that the interior designer has tackled for these homeowners. J. B. Miller, the Emmy award-winning producer who is president and CEO of Empire Entertainment, lives here with his wife Maggie and their two daughters. ‘We had worked with these clients before, so we were already familiar with their style and needs,’ says Crystal. ‘We first met them over five years ago when they contacted us about doing their Boerum Hill brownstone. We kept in touch and when they moved into their new home, they asked us if we could help them again.’
