Kitchen

This kitchen was in dire need of a complete overhaul. We started with exquisite green crystal knobs – imported from India by way of London. The client had fallen in love with some extremely expensive ones, but these came at one tenth the price, despite the distance. Originally, we installed them to freshen up her kitchen until she could afford to go further with the project. When she was ready, we replaced the basic cabinet doors, which were warped (not shown in “before” photo), with a Shaker style. We continued with the floor, bringing in the green and balancing it with black for a striking alternative-checkerboard effect. The tiled backsplash was designed to build upon these colors – a contemporary Deco look incorporating green glass mosaics to further tie in the gorgeous green knobs.

An eye-catching, vintage-style faucet expands the motif, and updated amenities such as a garbage disposal and filtered-water system (hot and cold) were added to the new sink area. In addition to a black blender and toaster-oven, new black appliances include the refrigerator and microwave. A very intricate paint job emphasizes all the interior architectural details, and several layers of shellac were applied to the molding around the windows above the sink, adding a glassy look reminiscent of the green mosaic tiles and knobs below. A collection of green glass bottles sits on the window sills, bringing the whole look together and rendering this room the very definition of decorative deliciousness!
