Co-founded by Rachel Carosiello and Ann Marie Ryan, Modern Vintage Home is a boutique luxury design firm located in Moorestown, New Jersey. Through a series of entrepreneurial evolutions, this dynamic duo has been working together since 2014 and launched Modern Vintage Home in 2018. As business partners and best friends, the designers view their creative synergy as their superpower and love to create unique spaces that reflect their clients’ personalities and lifestyle. Their work has been featured in Design NJ and has graced the cover of Philadelphia Home + Design.
Cozy Atmosphere
Modern Vintage Home’s Moody Lounge
Rachel and Ann Marie envisioned their My Rowe Design as a warm, enveloping space perfect for gathering. “We wanted it to be somewhere you would want to spend hours in,” the designers explain, “whether in conversation with family or friends or curled up with a book in front of the fireplace.” With walls wrapped in black sisal and a faux fireplace clad in black marble wallpaper, the room embraces a moody, evocative palette while remaining deeply inviting. Overhead, three bubble chandeliers float above the seating area, their sculptural forms adding a playful, midcentury-inspired note that echoes the vintage-modern aesthetic of the furnishings below.
My Rowe Design is…
Comfortable
Moody
Beautiful
“The Adler Sofa is our favorite, it is sleek, comfortable, and can work in so many different styles!”
At the heart of the room, a pair of Adler Sofas upholstered in dark brown velvet face one another across a cocktail table, joined by two cozy shearling Pfifer Chairs and a Miles Long Ottoman in a configuration perfectly suited to entertaining. In the corner, a Leander Swivel Chair in garnet velvet offers
a quieter spot for solo moments. Layered pillows in linen, velvet and richly toned prints add texture and warmth. “We wanted it to be a space that is beautiful but functional,” say Rachel and Ann Marie of their luxe yet family-friendly living room, “the space where everyone would gather and gravitate towards, the place in their home they most want to be.”

Sources of Inspiration
A lot of times we will see something in a traditional form and visualize how to use it another way. For example, we used a vintage coffee table and turned it into a desk by adding new legs. [Or we might] take a cabinet that is traditionally in a bedroom and use it in a bar.
Room to Design
We love to design family rooms because they are the heart of the home, and it is so fun to make them functional and beautiful at the same time.
