Design Highlights

• A moody and edgy dining room – The dining room was transformed by color-drenching the walls, trim, and ceiling a rich dark purple. A custom hemp wood table with black stain and sleek faux leather chairs center the space and give it an edge.
• An overall kitchen refresh – We refinished the cabinetry with Wrought Iron by Benjamin Moore and replaced cabinet hardware with sleek, matte black pulls.
• A fresh breakfast nook – A dark wood table and navy chairs pull out the blue tones in the tile backsplash. A new rug and light fixture help to define the area. Throughout the home, we commissioned a local artist to create colorful artwork to finish each space.
• Intentional color – Color choices that emphasized the coffered ceilings and other architectural elements without feeling choppy.
• Primary bath upgrade – Existing floor and wall tile remained but was pared with a new color system that included Blue Gaspe by Benjamin Moore to add drama on the walls, doors, and trim. By refinishing the cabinetry, replacing the countertops with quartzite, and updating the light fixtures and mirrors, this once basic bathroom was elevated into a fun more personal space.
