MANHATTAN MONDAY PROJECT
LocatION: OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, VA
Interiors: Choux Designs
Custom Kitchen Cabinetry Design: CDS Cabinet Co
Photographer: Frazier Springfield Photography
For this project, a well-traveled, semi-retired couple set out to refresh their home as a place to truly enjoy when they’re in town. With much of their time spent traveling, the goal was to create spaces that feel easy, welcoming, and ready to settle into.
The scope focused on a décor refresh across the bedroom, living room, dining room, and foyer—layering in comfort, familiarity, and a sense of ease. A key consideration throughout was their standing tradition of “Manhattan Mondays,” where neighbors and friends gather regularly. The design thoughtfully supports these evenings, with an emphasis on comfortable, conversational seating and a layout that encourages connection.
