When we began designing this project with our clients we went through collaborative list of needs and wants. Their home had gone untouched by a renovator since the original owners built it in the 90's. The doorways were narrow and the kitchen didn't provide enough space for cooking while entertaining...not to mention there was polished brass hardware everywhere.
We began our renovation in the kitchen by opening up walls and reworking the cabinet layout to provide for enough workspace and places for guests to mingle over a glass of wine. Our homeowners have a very tight knit neighborhood and love to have each-other over on the weekends. We added hardwoods and stained them a warm, rich walnut which blends beautifully with the cherry island in the kitchen. The kitchen cabinets, built in pantry and bar are antiqued with a pewter stain in the corners and edges of the molding and looks lovely next to the exotic granite counter tops.
Upstairs we renovated the master bathroom to become an oasis of natural materials mixed with porcelain tile and accented the design with oil rubbed bronze plumbing fixtures and lighting. The Travertine counter top takes the design throughout the bathroom seamlessly and allows the beautiful espresso stained vanity and custom armoire to take center stage.
While we combed through the home and renovated guest baths and replaced lighting and door hardware we made sure that everywhere you look our homeowners hospitable personality shines through.
