I Ten Designs

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mama in heaven, and to my beloved sister Saray, who helped raise me with so much love.
As the youngest, I think she still sees me as a baby, and she has always been my rock.

When a designer hires you to design her own home, there’s a quiet moment: how is this going to work?

Especially when she has an undergrad in interior design and a master’s in industrial design! You feel that instantly.

But there was no hesitation. No interviews. She trusted my expertise and wanted a timeless, highly functional home that merged her style with her husband’s, a trained chef. The kitchen was entirely designed for her husband.

What followed was a full first floor transformation. A gutted kitchen, completely reimagined. Even the exterior wall was reworked to make the layout work.

Designing for another designer was magic. We spoke the same language. With an incredible general contractor, a deeply engaged client, and our design team, it all just clicked!

At one point our client said, “Ayten, I think we made about 10,000 decisions in this kitchen.”

She wasn't wrong!
