"We weren't flippers. The reason we became serial movers is because our needs kept changing. Each time we amplified our space, it also amplified my interest in design."
"People always say, 'How do you keep that marble spotless?' And I tell them, 'I want to see those stains. I want to remember those moments when my son spilled his ice cream.' It's a marker; it's a memory."
Aimee Song Calderone explored multiple creative pursuits including acting, yoga, interior design at Parsons, and culinary school before founding EyeSwoon as a Tumblr blog in 2011. She and her husband Victor, a music producer and DJ, developed a pattern of renovating and selling homes starting with their first Brooklyn loft in 1998. Their eighth renovation, a Greek Revival townhouse in Cobble Hill, gained significant attention after being featured in 2018, launching Calderone's design prominence. Her signature aesthetic features marble-clad neutral interiors with European influences, including airy kitchens with veined marble, Parisian-style open shelving, and predominantly white rooms with black-framed windows. She embraces imperfections in materials like marble, viewing stains and marks as memories and markers of lived-in spaces rather than flaws.
