We completely renovated this space for an episode of HGTV House Hunters Renovation. The kitchen was originally a galley kitchen. We removed a wall between the DR and the kitchen to open up the space. We used a combination of countertops in this kitchen. To give a buffer to the wood counters, we used slabs of marble each side of the sink. This adds interest visually and helps to keep the water away from the wood counters. We used blue and cream for the cabinetry which is a lovely, soft mix and wood shelving to match the wood counter tops. To complete the eclectic finishes we mixed gold light fixtures and cabinet hardware with black plumbing fixtures and shelf brackets.

This vintage chair, sourced from Chairish, has been reupholstered in fabric from Robert Allen Design. Collaborating with Revitaliste to transform the chair, we also chose to lacquer the wooden frame in hot pink. The chair is adorned with a green pillow imagined in Robert Allen Design’s malachite-inspired green fabric. A vintage side table, also sourced from Chairish, with a brass base, features a hot pink painted glass top. Photo credit: David Duncan Livingston
