Inspiration for a cottage family room remodel in Phoenix

When my clients purchased this charming 1940's home in the Seattle neighborhood of Wedgwood, they were amazed by how intact the original kitchen was. It was like a perfect time capsule. The color palette was avocado green and buttercream yellow. The highlights were an original retro built-in banquette and vintage oven! The challenge we faced (besides the awesome but dated finishes) was the closed floor plan typical in this era of homes and the lack of storage. So, we opened the kitchen to the adjacent dining and living room, bringing it up to speed with modern-day living. In opening it up, we also walled off a doorway that went from the kitchen to the hallway, but it was completely unnecessary and allowed us to gain an entire wall of cabinets that didn't exist previously. For the finishes, we kept it classic with mostly gray and white but brought in a little flare and interest with the herringbone backsplash and brushed brass finishes because who doesn't love a little gold? Also, we added color with the finishing details like the rug and countertop decor because those things are a great way to add interest and warmth to a space and can be easily changed when it's time for a fresh new look.

An open floor-plan allows for easy entertaining that smoothly transitions from the kitchen for light snacks, to the dining room for a formal meal. Seen in The Retreat, a Sarasota community.

It's amazing how much larger a bathroom can feel when it's brand new! This master bathroom had a functional layout, but was in need of an update! The homeowners wanted something fresh, light, and timeless. The flooring and shower walls are limestone tile, the vanity is stained maple cabinetry with soft close doors and drawers, which pair perfectly with the quartzite countertop, and the shell mosaic backsplash. The plumbing fixtures are brushed nickel, as is the cabinet hardware, and the mirror picks up both the warmth of the tile, and the silver of the fixtures. The same shell mosaic pops in the recessed niche in the shower.

We chose high-gloss-white cabinetry with a brushed silver edge to stand out on the homes white-on-white palette. We used sleek silver pulls for the cabinet hardware. We maximized storage and utility with the cabinets by having base cabinets with rollout trash and recycling, rolling shelves, and utilized the corner space with pull-outs and easy reach corner cabinets. The contrast of the high-gloss cabinets and matte quartz counter tops balances the kitchen so that it does not feel cold. The under-cabinet lighting accentuates the counters and brightens the room.

This small bathroom got an updated sink, fixtures and some funky mosaic tile to modernize it and give it some sharp personality.
