Robin's Nest InteriorsUpdated Spec Home: Kitchen & Breakfast Area
This week’s post in the series Updated Spec Home will feature the Kitchen & Breakfast Area. This home is truly an open concept where the Kitchen and Breakfast Area share the same space with the Great Room so it was especially important that everything flowed seamlessly.
Kitchen
The Kitchen is galley-style with very cabinets and a large peninsula. The cabinets had a honey maple stain and the countertops were white solid surface. On the bright side, the appliances were stainless steel. The previous homeowners had added a large hutch to the peninsula which we removed. We wanted the wall to be a feature in the space. Updates included painting the cabinets light gray, replacing the countertops with a “carrara like” quartz, and replacing the cabinet hardware. We also added a stunning backsplash in an ogee design which we ran up the entire peninsula wall. Our contractor Brad Anderson built the floating shelves, and we added color vases to finish off the feature wall.
Breakfast Area
We took advantage of the Breakfast Area’s vaulted ceiling by adding this gorgeous chandelier in a white finish with seeded glass. A disadvantage of the vaulted ceiling was no wall space on either side of the window. This left us with few options for window treatments. We decide to go with a cornice board in this beautiful vine fabric with a soft shade underneath for privacy. We made a statement on a large wall with a grouping of botanical artwork.
For furniture, we mixed the upholstered chairs around the oval table and added a painted etagere to display plates and glasses. We selected two backless stools with cane tops in a gray painted finish for the peninsula.
My mom and sister would say the Kitchen is too beautiful to cook in, but I know better…Enjoy!

Robin's Nest InteriorsOur next stop in the blog series Updated Spec Home is my Mom and Sister’s Bedrooms. I have already featured their rooms in previous blogs here and here, but we did have to do some tweaks to fit the design into the new spaces.
All of my mom’s furniture fit perfectly in the new room. We did add a rug positioned partially under the bed. It’s nice to have something nice underfoot when you get out of bed in the morning! Some highlights in her space are the green glass lamps in front of the bronze bird mirrors. This room is stylish – just like my mom!
The bedroom in my sister’s previous home was much larger than this one so we had to pare down some of her furniture. Her large scale furniture fit the previous space but works just as well in this room. Some highlights in my sister’s room include the mirrored chest and large floor mirror as well as the vibrant artwork. She had to get new art because her interior designer used the artwork from her previous room in the Foyer!
I love that we were able to use the designs from their previous bedrooms and make them feel fresh in their Updated Spec Home. Enjoy!

This is one of an adjacent pair of Houses I did in Alamo California as Spec Houses. I was the Architect and helped coordinate with various sub-contractors. I also co-designed the project with various consultants including Interior and Landscape Design
This project was a challenge with the complexities of the sloping lot and and tight budget relative to the area to satisfy its goal as a Spec House.
