When longtime clients were ready
to remodel the kitchen of their
lakeside home,
let
the homeowners’ desire for mixing
contrasting elements of light and dark
guide her design choices. Two cabinet
finishes were selected: a rich cherry
for the perimeter, and warm white for
the island. The home has high, vaulted
ceilings, so cabinets of varying heights
were selected to accent this feature.
Existing windows were replaced to
enhance the view of the lake, and
walls were painted a shade of green
that helps bring the outside in. In the
end, she achieved a functional space
that sacrifices none of
the rich aesthetic the
clients wanted.
