This townhouse had a "U" shaped kitchen, which cut the space in half, not allowing flexibility for entertaining larger groups of people. The new island is on casters and can be moved aside to allow for the table to extend, while keeping the traffic flow open for greater access. The soft grey combined with the off white cabinetry gives a feeling of unity while also defining the dining area from the kitchen area.

We created a contemporary aesthetic & design that will withstand the test of time to create an inviting and serene space throughout for our clients. First, we replaced their flooring with a wide plank oak flooring, expanded existing standard doors to soaring black steel framed doors and painted Sherwin Williams West Highland White throughout. The powder bath and laundry room were also given a complete renovation with new tile, cabinetry, plumbing, lighting and fixtures. As renovations took place, we began sourcing furnishings, linens, lighting and more. We utilized a neutral palette and use of mixed finishes to each space includes various textures such as linen, wool, boucle, leather & wood to create a symbiotic sense of unity.
