This kitchen was in a home dating from the early 20th century and located in the Mt. Baker neighborhood of Seattle. It is u-shaped with an island in the center topped with a zinc counter. Black and white tile was used on the floor in a tradition pattern with hexagon as the inset and a black and white border with a square mosaic around the perimeter framing the island. Cabinetry is inset traditional style with the hardware on the exterior. the base of each cabinet is framed with a footed detail. Base cabinet were painted with teal, upper cabinets are white and the full height cabinets are mahogany which is used throughout the residence. A tradition style faucet was used with the pull out attached. Cup pulls are used on the drawers and knobs have a back plate.

Shade cloth added to cedar pergola for some extra shade. With a fire pit, columns, waterfall and seat wall. Unilock Thornberry pavers with Il Campo banding.

Major gut renovation of this coastal estate preserved its basic layout while expanding the kitchen. A veranda and a pair of gazebos were also added to the home to maximize outdoor living and the water views. The interior merged the homeowners eclectic style with the traditional style of the home.

Priestess is one of Damien Jones' few figurative forms. This piece stands 6.5ft high and is mounted to the standard 2ft x 2ft basalt slab base stone which also seals the bottom of the piece creating an interior reservoir for the water. This divine feminine water feature channels water up to the top of her 'hands', which then cascades over the entire form until it is recaptured through perforations into its internal reservoir in her 'legs'.
