Open, warm and welcoming-is this full loaded kitchen. The hand finished walnut bar is a favorite gathering place. Not shown is an attached 'morning room' that is well used for the day's first cup of joe!

Brick - Was the brick already there and you worked around it?? It's gorgeous! »
· Comment · 14 days ago
Cindy Aplanalp at By Design Interiors This is new construction. The brick was installed before the cabs, so we didn't have to work around it.

If you are involved in a remodel, then a good option is to do a brick veneer or have a faux artist do faux brick. This would offer a lot more possibilities when trying to work around door trims, crown and the like.

Thanks,
C

Cindy Aplanalp at By Design Interiors depends on your lifestyle wood more difficult to care for- plus may be an over load of 'stained' wood if cabs are also stained...
