The space was first structurally reworked, leading the way for a long run of white cabinets and service area for entertaining. Layers of texture by way of backsplashes and high-contrast fixtures achieve depth and an optically larger space. Wood-framed glass cabinetry and a custom rustic-style island bring warmth to the space without compromising functionality.
With the luxury of an extended timeline by request of the homeowner, Linda obsessed over the details—from cremone bolts and furniture sporting a variety of wood species, to pharmacy cabinets displaying intriguing glass and lighting.
The masterful culinary kitchen now complete, the living room renovation was initiated with a custom-built fireplace and bookshelf to create a balanced focal point. Believing design should never compromise functionality, every space is designed to be used however life requests. Conversation space with a round table and chairs creates a main stage for board games or morning coffee.
