Getting a Gut Job Right
We are so excited to be working on a complete home renovation in Burlingame, and save a few walls..the entire place has been gutted. We have selected the slabs, the appliances, the hardware, the doors and made countless other important decisions with the oh-so stylish homeowner, and now we get to talk about furnishings, decor, and paint!
Her kitchen is large and will be her most used room. It has also long been a dream of hers to have an all-white kitchen (except for a blue La Cornue range). And dreamy, this kitchen will be.
We hand selected beautiful honed Calcutta Oro marble for her island and countertops, and for the decor we wanted to keep the vibe fresh, light and airy. Her home is traditional in style but when her family's renovation is complete the new home will lend itself to a more modern, cool sensibility.
We created this board for her (above) to give her a visual of how her space will come together. To add some texture, and a bit of color to the clean and light palette, we will be adding a custom settee to wrap one corner of the room and provide seating for the rustic farmhouse style table (custom banquette not shown). We chose the rustic farmhouse style table to counter-balance the sharpness of the white marble on the countertops and on the island.
We are debating the chair choices above (woven bistro chairs or more organic, modern ones), as well as the lantern choices above. We have chosen a weathered Oushak rug in saturated, yet faded colors to provide a cozy contrast to the white. And pillows on the custom banquette will also add a comfort and color.
We can't wait to share the "after" of this beautiful space with you all, but in the meanwhile feel free to weigh in on the lighting and chair choices above(:
