When Hildy Abrams decided to fully renovate her historic home, she enlisted Anna Simone of Cecconi Simone to be at the helm. Though Hildy had little knowledge of what she’d signed up for, she trusted that, together, she and Anna would arrive at a home that captured her family’s love of food and entertaining, that was aesthetically beautiful while also unpredictable, and most importantly, that had a soul. Originally part of a Church, Hildy’s home was transformed into an urban oasis that continues to inspire and replenish her every time she walks through the door.
