This is the Pierpoint double pedestal dining table that fits up to 10 people. The textured metal trestle base separates when adding one or both 24-inch leaves ensuring ample leg room. Without any leaves, the table top is a 4-way v-match Gray Elm veneer framed by straight-cut borders. The two leaves feature bordered straight-cut veneer patterns and are easily supported by the metal glide system which adds durability and ease of movement. Light scoring and gentle wire brushing on the surface further compliment the cathedral grain and achieve a weathered look, accentuating the artisanal look of the Hatteras Gray finish.

The oversized master bedroom with a tray ceiling is separated by a small corridor from the main open areas of the house. We added soft ivory and beige to the silvers and grays of the color scheme. We warmed the bed with a beige linen headboard, side rails and footboard with nail trim details. Soft, sheer drapery panels add softness, romance and warmth. The drapery hardware is brushed nickel with crystal finials. The sofa bench creates a gentle shimmer with a beautiful silver/beige fabric. The large bedside tables and tall lamps fill the volume and make an important statement. An area rug warms the space.

Design & Supply: Astro Design Centre, Ottawa Canada Photo: JVL Photography We opted for using luxurious materials to add the warmth and glamour synonymous with a more traditional interior. Walnut, marble, brushed nickel and glass were all used to offset simple ivory lacquer cabinetry in the open concept living room. A massive slab of Taj Mahal Quartzite dictated the size of the kitchen island which we kept free of major utilities so that the room would bleed seamlessly into the adjacent living room. The base of the island is natural American walnut. The perimeter of the kitchen houses an industrial range and massive steel hood; which is juxtaposed on a backsplash of mosaic tile. The mosaic is delicate lattice work pattern gently nodding towards the traditional. To add additional depth and dimension to the space we made all the upper cabinetry open glass. The interiors of the glass cabinetry are in the same natural walnut as the island. This unexpected detail is the perfect backdrop to white dishes and crystal stemware. Ultimately the room is elegant and serene.

The cabinets are by Wellborn in the flat-front Premier style, with a white satin finish for wall cabinets and natural maple for the base cabinets. The brushed nickel pulls are Skinny Linea by Atlas. The 30" gas cooktop with griddle is from KitchenAid. Global Grey limestone field tile gently contrasts with Yukon Blanco quartz countertops by Silestone. Photo by Toby Weiss
