This home on a secluded, sunny Northern California hillside was completely remodeled from the foundation to the roof. The owner wanted a neutral, cozy, comfortable atmosphere with subtle rustic detailing. Knotted wood floors, imported Italian brick crackle tile, hammered metal cabinet pulls, and poured concrete countertops are contrasted by gleaming stainless steel Viking appliances, and oversize glass ball pendants. The kitchen feels fresh and casual, and blends perfectly into the landscape of rolling golden hills.
