## About

### Houzz Badges

- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

Everyone should love their home. Together, that is our goal. We will define your personal style, the difference between what you like and what you really want, what stays and what goes (and why). A few phrases will keep repeating, ‘you need to love it’, ‘it needs to make sense’, 'don’t settle’. Once I start getting the approving nod, I will know we’re on the right track.

It’s my job to make it all work. I’ll ask a lot of questions to find out how you live in the space. From this I can determine a color palette, space plan, and apply the principles and elements of design. I’m a really good listener.

My favorite part of the design process is when it all comes together and you say ‘I love it!’ and I can see it on your face. That’s when it’s electric……must be why it’s called a passion.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Counter and backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi lovely kitchen. Please share the counter and backsplash materials.

A: The counter top on the left is butcher block and the remainder of the counter tops are Carrara marble. The backsplash is 3x6 white subway tile.

**Q: Wall paint** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the tan wall color paint name, please? Thanks!

A: Hi! The wall color that you see in this picture is Benjamin Moore - Cape Hatteras Sand (AC-34) in a matte finish.

**Q: Kitchen Cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who makes the cabinets and prices?  Thank you.

A: The cabinets are by Plain & Fancy and were installed before the remodel so don't know any prices. Sorry!  Thanks for the question.

**Q: White kitchen** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the make and color of the cabinets?  Thank you.

A: Hi! The cabinets are Plain & Fancy and the color is Benjamin Moore semi-gloss White Dove (OC-17) which is also the trim color through out the apartment. This was an existing kitchen when I did the remodel and the cabinets were a distressed off white, reminiscent of French country. Just to create a cleaner updated cohesive look I used the same paint finish as the trim; and the semi gloss also adds a little sheen and easier to clean.  
Thanks!

**Q: The Rug** *(in Photo Questions)*

Any info on the orange rug, please?

A: Very nice! Thanks!

**Q: Color from Benjamin Moore** *(in Photo Questions)*

Do you know the BM color?

A: This is my go-to color for interior trim and mill work, in a semi-gloss finish.
