Opportunity regularly arose along his path to establishing his own business: from landing his first New York job at architectural behemoth Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill, to developing designs for Martha Stewart\u2013branded residential communities around the United States, to getting his first big client via a friend\u2019s serendipitous conversation with another woman at a Manhattan bus stop. So one might be tempted to attribute his success to dumb luck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as these before-and-after photographs illustrate, Moon\u2019s swift rise in this industry is more attributable to a deft sense of balance and proportion, touches of glamour and the pairing of innovative palettes with richly textured materials. Here, Moon tells us the stories behind his remarkable renovations.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Foyer Before and After<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-107063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer-Before.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer-Before.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer-Before-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer-Before-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_107073\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107073\" class=\"wp-image-107073 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/01-Foyer-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-107073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bottom photo by William Waldron<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen my clients purchased this prewar Park Avenue apartment, it hadn\u2019t been touched in probably 40 years. The color scheme was not only dated \u2014 I actually can\u2019t imagine how this was ever acceptable \u2014 but it was also dark and dingy. I suppose the stone flooring and faux-marble trim were attempts at grandeur, but it wasn\u2019t at all the direction my clients hoped to go in with their new home. Our goal was accessible elegance. We wanted to bring out the prewar charm of this 1927 building in a fresh and livable, yet sophisticated, way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We replaced the stone floor with oak in a herringbone pattern to match the rest of the apartment. Then we removed the wainscot and covered walls in a platinum-colored silk wallcovering from de Gournay, which adds texture and beautifully reflects light. We also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/technique\/lacquered\/\">lacquered<\/a> the ceiling in high-gloss deep gray, accentuating the generous height.

But like many a postwar apartment, the ceilings were low and the rooms lacked definition. There were also no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/building-garden\/architectural-elements\/\">architectural elements<\/a> to speak of. This corner of the living room flowed into a sort of no-man\u2019s-land interim space with low double doors leading into the dining room. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To bring the apartment up to snuff, I defined the individual spaces by creating a separate living room and gallery using a large cased opening that\u2019s over seven feet tall. I mirrored the opening on the opposite side of the gallery, bringing the dining room into one large entertaining space that\u2019s still three distinct rooms. The effect actually makes the whole apartment feel larger, and the vertical lines of the doorways, accentuated by casings in dark oak, lift the ceilings visually. A plaster fan detail on the gallery ceiling also adds height and helps to define that area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New wide-plank wood flooring, a hefty custom baseboard and a new limestone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/building-garden\/fireplaces-mantels\/\">fireplace<\/a> add much-needed architectural significance. A customized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/vladimir-kagan\/furniture\/seating\/sofas\/\">Vladimir Kagan sofa <\/a>anchors the corner of the living room and creates an intimate sitting area that\u2019s also part of the larger furniture arrangement. Ceramic wall sculptures from Cocobolo Gallery add interest, while custom painted rope sconces from Bone Simple illuminate this corner vignette.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Kitchen Before and After<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_107183\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107183\" class=\"wp-image-107183 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-Kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-Kitchen.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-Kitchen-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-Kitchen-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-107183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo on the right by Peter Murdock, courtesy of Identical Exposure<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/kitchens\/\">kitchen<\/a> is from the same postwar Upper East Side apartment as the living room in the previous photos. As you can see, the narrow galley kitchen, which was adjacent to a maid\u2019s room, was built for a bygone era. Instead, my clients wanted a large open kitchen where family and friends could gather. And they also wanted it to be sleek and contemporary, yet warm and inviting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We tore down the wall separating the maid\u2019s room to create a larger square space. I designed the cabinets in cerused oak and we managed to fit in nearly every appliance imaginable, including a 36-inch Sub-Zero refrigerator and a separate freezer, full-height wine fridge, Wolf range and wall oven, drawer microwave, beverage fridge, dishwasher, icemaker and built-in coffee machine. I designed the wrought-iron and brass island, which seats four comfortably. It\u2019s based on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/gilbert-poillerat\/\">Gilbert Poillerat<\/a> table I saw in Paris. To keep the space light, we hung artwork over the sink, as opposed to upper cabinets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Bedroom Before and After<\/h2>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-107223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-Before.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-Before.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-Before-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-Before-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_107233\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107233\" class=\"wp-image-107233 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-1.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-1-467x350.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-Bedroom-1-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-107233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bottom photo by Marco Ricca<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is a bedroom I did for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/holiday-house-hamptons\/\">Holiday House Hamptons<\/a>, which is a designer showhouse that raises money for Breast Cancer Research. I was given a large room with a beautiful corner window, but there was nowhere to put a king-size bed. I decided to create a canopy bed that would go all the way to the ceiling and center it on the wall. This meant blocking part of the window, but it still left plenty of light and view, allowing me to properly furnish the room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Each designer in the showhouse picked a holiday theme for his or her room. After seeing this amazing Mauritius wallpaper and matching fabric, generously donated by Pierre Frey, I chose Palm Sunday. The Ruffled Window made the canopy and drapery, and the bed itself was custom-fabricated for me by Savoir Beds using Foglizzo leather. The drapery fabric is from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/quadrille-fabric\/\">Quadrille<\/a>, the rug from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/fj-hakimian\/\">FJ Hakimian<\/a> and the nightstands from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/john-salibello-antiques-ny\/\">John Salibello<\/a>.

To transform this dreary roof into a dreamy oasis, I enlisted the help of Aaron McIntire from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gunnlandscapes.com\/\">Gunn Landscape Design<\/a>. Aaron devised a brilliant willow wall behind the sitting area to provide privacy in a soft and interesting way. I mixed teak and wrought-iron furniture from Restoration Hardware and recovered all the cushions to give the feeling of an intimate indoor room.

It was once a one-bedroom apartment, before the previous owners gutted the space to use as a walk-in closet and dressing room. We decided to keep the space open, but we defined a living room and dining area by creating a floating cabinet that holds the TV on one side and functions as a server on the other. To further define the dining area, I connected the cabinet to the back wall with a dropped soffit covered in wallpaper from Porter Teleo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pullman kitchen and Murphy bed are discreetly hidden within oak paneling on the side wall that spans the entire space. The result is a multifunctional space that may be small but is also easy to live in and good for entertaining. To furnish the room, we recovered chairs that the client inherited from her parents and combined them with a vintage kilim from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/double-knot\/\">Double Knot<\/a> and an iron coffee table from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/dessin-fournir\/\">Dessin Fournir<\/a>.
