“At Home” With A Kitchen Refresh

This kitchen needed to be refreshed.

After consultations with the client, a design plan was made.

Retaining some of the clients favorite design elements (tile floor, wallpaper, and fabric on windows) was part of the plan.

Deciding to paint the existing stained wood cabinets was a key element.

Eliminating the existing fluorescent light above the island was a top priority.

Replacing the bar stools and the hutch beside the table was also on the list.

A new painted sideboard, chandelier, and starburst mirror complete the refreshed breakfast area.

New counter stools with upholstered backs provide an inviting gathering area around the new granite counter top on the island.  Painting the stained cabinets gave the kitchen a bright new look.

The new light fixture updates the work space.

Feeling comfortable and “AT HOME” in one’s own kitchen is critical in good design.

Worth the Wait

In our world today we want everything in an instant. But for one client, it was worth the wait. After moving into a new home two years ago, our client was ready to furnish her living room. Up until now, their three young girls used the living room as a dance hall. But now with a few new pieces, the dance hall has been transformed into an elegant living room.

Practicing Patience

We’ve all been waiting for years to see the completion of this unique dining room-designer, architect, builder-and especially our client!  The custom beams, venetian plaster walls, gray limestone floors, and an open wine alcove all lend the feel of a Tuscan villa.  A retractable wall of french doors provide a wonderful way for the elements to interact, creating a beautiful open air dining venue.
