This mid-century home was well-built but the kitchen was ready for a renovation. My clients’ love of the Arts and Crafts style became our design direction, while the color choices originated with a painting that is a family heirloom. In the original kitchen, a peninsula cut the room in half, while guests sometimes crowded into the cooking area. I designed an island to open up the traffic flow, but it also allows the cook to work while talking to guests on the other side of the island. We found a beautiful granite for the countertops and had new cherry cabinets made. Lighting was added in the ceiling, under the upper cabinets and pendants with stained glass dragonflies. The Arts and Crafts backsplash tiles put the stamp on this stylish kitchen.
Color inspiration came from a family heirloom, bordered by a hand-stencilled design
