When I asked my client what atmosphere was she looking to feel after this kitchen renovation, her response was, “I want something that feels more like a cottage,” I instantly loved the idea. I loved the fact that she wasn’t looking for a pretentious looking kitchen which would’ve been in complete disharmony with the rest of her home. It all started with a hand sketch of my vision, which she immediately fell in love with. We stayed away from white kitchen cabinets and instead went with semi custom-made grey distressed finish ones. For more of a country feel we chose beaded cabinet doors — Interior Design by Julie Paulino Design.
My client has other homes around the country, and she hardly uses this kitchen, so we were able to ditch some of the upper cabinets. That last option made the kitchen feel grander and brighter. For contrast, we chose hand-made glazed white subway tiles, which also add great texture to the walls. Below, are three computer renderings that we provide our clients once the design is agreed. Further down, a before picture of the old kitchen.
