"Ament and her husband, Will Glaser, who teamed up a few years back to offer interior design and renovation project management services, accomplished that with the robust application of decorative moldings and exuberant wall coverings, new custom millwork by Navy Yard-based Nathan Chintala, and new furnishings and lighting. The clients appreciated the fact that partitions on the parlor level had long since been removed to create one big open space."
"But the work wasn't all decorative. Glam Studio also had to deal with water damage on the garden level, figure out workarounds for several columns inserted by the developer on the parlor floor in lieu of structural beams, finesse spots where soffits interfered with the placement of crown moldings, and enlarge the primary bedroom by demolishing a closet and shifting a wall."
The late 19th-century three-story brownstone had been nearly gutted by developers, leaving an interior that lacked historic character. Designer Aubrey Ament and Will Glaser restored traditional character through extensive decorative moldings, exuberant wallpapers, custom millwork by Nathan Chintala, new furnishings, and lighting. Windows were transformed from boxed-in sheetrock with new sills and trim. Renovation work also addressed garden-level water damage, developer-installed columns that replaced structural beams, soffits that conflicted with crown molding placement, and enlarging the primary bedroom by removing a closet and shifting a wall. The clients preferred a coastal-inspired blue-green palette and bold patterns.
