The inspiration for this space comes from beautiful tiles that were collected from around Europe. The were the driving factor which determined the colors of the cabinets, counters and floors. These colorful tiles of greens, blues and whites were matched and dispersed among other simple tiles, and a custom back splash was created. We brought in green cabinets and grounded the whole space with a neutral concrete tile. The counter top, a natural stone called Fantasy Brown brought a whimsical yet subdued feel to the space.

The view into the large step down living room from the foyer is framed by the original wooden arched doorway. The silhouettes of the varied furniture styles creates interest within the subdued color palette.

This grand ----stone water feature sits center stage on a dimensioned bluestone patio. The two stones classically complement each other. Both the fountain and basin coping match the bluestone patio…the two elements tightly tied together with repeating materials. A beige-toned mortar subdues the stone’s coursing while repeating the color of the lion’s head plaque.
