SMALL KITCHEN, BIG ON STYLE

About a year ago I had the privilege of working with a close family friend on her town home kitchen.

She came to me armed with consumer reports on various appliances she had her eye on as well as a brand new Cambria Color; Charston for the counter tops.  Being that this room is off of the dining area it was imperative that these spaces feel very connected.  Together we upgraded her stark and utilitarian kitchen to a room that commands much more attention.

{Before the Kitchen was a sea of white, nto conveying the home owner's taste and personality}

{Now the space connects with the dining area.  We paired maple cabinetry with Cambria Charston Counter tops with a cool Ben Moore yellow paint.}

SEUSS TREE CONT.

As the Jingle draws closer (install is Nov. 26th) my design/concept is really taking shape.  I expect several packages to arrive this week including gumballs and foam Seuss cut outs.  The tree itself is in production and nearly complete.  A few of my inspirational cues below.  More photos of the tree in production to follow.

REJUVENATED

 

With a whirlwind fall full speed ahead, Matt and I were in need of some quality time away with Colby.  We're talking no social media, no heat (it did drop below 40 on Saturday night), and no phones (except to take these photos).  It was such a nice time to just be care-free and relax.

 

We headed to Shenandoah National Park, (so did the rest of DC) as it was a perfect weekend to Welcome Fall!  We hiked some lesser known trails and a touch of the Appalachian Trail.

 

The scenery was breath taking, here are a few photos I snuck in before my phone lost complete service.

Now back to the city life and many exciting activities these next few weeks, starting with a trip to the Master Design Awards Reception tonight in Baltimore!
