Everything- absolutely everything about this historic home makes us melt. We were thrilled to be invited to help restore this house in honor of it’s architectural style, while at the same time making it home to its new owners. The streamlined art modern style at the end of the art deco era radiates simplified style & glamour at its finest. These photos speak for themselves…but just in case you don’t speak art moderne, here is what this home would say:
~I love curves!
~ I appreciate simplified lines that show off my rich finish materials.
~White is my blank canvas, and is a perfect backdrop for bold colors, geometric patterns, and dramatic art
Ok, enough with the chatter- let’s take a peek! We’re dying to show this project off!
What We Love Most About This Kitchen:
~the radius cabinets, curved dining nook, and glass shelves that honor the original curves of the home
~the reuse of the stainless steel table, and the upgraded pop of geometric pixelated color on the bench cushion.
~the rich sapele mahogany veneer and stainless steel toe kicks, contrasted by the stark white countertops.
~what ISN’T visible to the casual viewer: The amount of function we were able to fit into this relatively small space. Designing cabinetry around curved walls is not easy!
As a professional design company we find it valuable to look back at where the journey began, and taking photos at the beginning and end of every project is a very helpful tool for this process.
Our renovation involved a complete re-do of the kitchen and some design details for the living room, including the new glam makeover to the original (non-functional) fireplace. Implementing the new warm white paint colors and bold, funky furniture was the icing on the cake!
We couldn’t do what we do without the help of:
Do you love this home? There is so much more to show off. The master bath is coming soon!
