Tour an Interior Designer’s Casual and Stylish Home
In this episode of Houzz TV Live, designer Katelyn Gilmour gives a virtual tour of her San Jose, California, home. In the kitchen, which she opened up to the living room, deep slate-navy base cabinets bring style and drama to creamy upper cabinets and white quartz countertops. Geometric backsplash tile adds pattern and texture. In an adjacent dining area, a built-in banquette offers cushioned seating at a hammered-steel-topped table.
In the living room, Gilmour vaulted the ceiling, widened a window and created a gallery wall of mirrors to give the appearance of more space while working within the same footprint. Navy and cream tones, a leopard print chair and a reclaimed-wood coffee table create relaxed style. And in a bathroom, a custom gray vanity, mixed metal finishes, crackled white subway tile and mother-of-pearl penny mosaic floor tile deliver drama and elegance.
The idea to extend the tile shower is a really great tip! It really did help to make the shower appear larger. Plus it's a lovely tile and makes a great backsplash for the sink area. Nice job.
Everything is so livable. I would feel very comfortable in this house. I always thought it was wrong, and looked like patches, to mix metals, but these all look great together.
All beautiful! Love the mother of pearl tile - can you share the brand? Thx!
I love your house. So cozy and liveable ! Could you share where the metal flowers above the table came from?
I love the wall color in this home. Can you tell me the name of the paint used?
Although we don't want an open plan in our 1960s ranch, I like many of the items and uses of space.
Such a gorgeous home! I love everything!

I love the gold or is it brass? faucet fixtures in the kitchen...who is the 'manufacturer' please?!
@shayadara the faucets in the kitchen are by Waterstone and they call that golden brass-finish
"classic bronze"
What flooring did you use? We are getting ready to put in new floors and I am agonizing over the decision!
Here's the engineered hardwood product link: https://www.slccflooring.com/products/upendo
Your home looks so inviting, and I love the veining movement in your kitchen's quartz. Is this Vadara's "Calacatta Belleza" quartz? (btw, it is so refreshing to have a pro provide the vendor list and answer questions!)
Who's the eclipse chaser?
What is the wall paint color in the bathroom? We have a similar bathroom (without windows) and we were planning to paint the walls white, but the gray-ish color you have feels very cozy!
Yes, the countertops are Calacatta Belleza by Vadara. And I'll have to respond later about the wall paint colors. :-)
Love your style, how you are not afraid to try things, and bringing original character and personality to your spaces, beautiful home, thanks.
Can you tell me where you bought the flowers on the wall you used instead of wallpaper?
The cabinet color works very well with your floor choice and the pulls on the cabinets match the floor.
It looks very modern and traditional at the same time!
Very nice mixing and matching,
@Carla Christine the painted metal 3D succulents were a mix from World Market and Amazon.
Alicia Grey you might want to try a Bamboo floor,
I love it, especially if you have dogs, or children.
I have it on my entire first floor. I’ve dropped many items on it and not even a crack. Also make sure you get a top notch installer it will make all the difference.
I'm in love with your kitchen pendants!! Can you share the manufacturer?!! Your kitchen is gorgeous..thank you for sharing!
@elizabethn Thanks so much - unfortunately, the pendants are vintage and once lived in a middle school gym - who knows how many years ago. I found them at a flea market and bought them immediately :-). I know there are many other vendors that make modern-day versions of industrial pendants, but it would require some searching (RH, Rejuvenation, Shades of Light, Arteriors, Urban Electric Co, etc.).
You're so thoughtful to respond in such a thorough and thoughtful way!! Thank you!! Your work is amazing!! Stay WELL!!
what is the island color that you coverted to Sherwin williams, I know you still tweaked it, but it would be close and helpful to know.
I would love to build something model at my home can someone help me please I need a contact of a very good contractor here in Nigeria
Please get us the island color!!
I'll bring my Sherwin Williams and Dunn Edwards fan decks home and let you all know what the closest stock colors are. :-)
Thank you so much! Even if I have to have a custom color made, can do!!
It’s beautiful! I’m hoping to renovate a 1976 home in Maryland. You’ve captured my style in your kitchen!
Gorgeous! I love the old and new furniture and decor items. The mix of colors and metals make every room interesting to look at. Very cozy, comfortable, and livable. This is the look designers can pull off and I try to study it for my own home. I think a key is definitely getting a loved item to dump start the colors i.e. the table in the family room. Thank you fir opening your home. Well done!
Your home is lovely and so welcoming. I'm curious about the curtains in the living room? What's the fabric/vendor?
beautiful warm and welcoming home. i will be remodelling my newly purchased home and deff going to pick ideas from here. love it.
beautiful home
Absolutely gorgeous! ♥️
Love the Bathroom Floor! The home is so well put together.
Not my taste, way too busy. Too many things that don't go together.
