We love the opportunity to consult with clients who come to us with a strong vision, clear objectives, and great taste, so this meeting of the design-minds was a dream. Together, we reworked the kitchen’s layout and arrived at a small swap with huge impact: the sink now faces into the adjoining room, while the range hood is a feature moment in the space. Our savvy client selected her materials (brass hardware, ceramic backsplash, sleek pendants, black range), and we provided renderings to help her visualize the final product. A vibrant original painting by Bay Area artist Laine Justice, which hangs above the dining bench, served as inspiration for the soft sage green cabinets. Ultimately, our collaboration led to a light-filled, two-tone kitchen that feels fresh and functions in sync with the client’s needs. “I love the look of my kitchen, but having a thoughtful spot for everything is what I love the most.”
