"Surprises"
I cannot be more thrilled about how this project turned out. I had worked with Chris when she called for our 4-hour Half-day design. She needed a little help making her gorgeous, minimalist's dream of town home more cozy and inviting. Chris also wanted to update her mostly white laminate kitchen but wasn't sure it was going to be within her budget.
Right away, I knew Chris had a good sense of design as her existing pieces were all very harmonious and looked as if they could have been selected by a designer. Yet she had a mix of styles going on and items that seemed to have a bit of her personality or a bit of history, which in my book, adds a layer of richness that you cannot buy. All that was missing was a little punches of color and a few minor adjustment on materials and proportion. During our design session, I gave her advice on what needed to be done. I also,designed an updated version of the kitchen she may later decide to remodel.
Chris had a budget for the kitchen that at first seems impossible, but Mitch worked his magic with our suppliers. After a few revisions, here it is. I am just so happy with the look of it. The best part is that it really was Chris' vision. We just helped her make it happened. I love that it is clean and minimal...but it's warm and the best part is that it looks as if it was the original kitchen. As if it was always part of the original intent...
