Kitchens
From jarring to calming
My client bought a 2005 house featuring a yellow kitchen and red and green accent walls. She and I decided on a Transitional kitchen style with a neutral interior color scheme.
COLOR: Cabinets are Sherwin-Williams Blustery Sky. Interior walls are Sherwin-Williams Aesthetic White.
DÉCOR: New onyx countertop and sleek kitchen sink complete the update. A gray kettle and natural wood items contribute to the minimalist yet cozy Transitional design look.
U-shaped kitchen started from scratch
Please note the “before” pictures here show the “after” new gray tile floor and dishwasher. Previously, there was only a partial floor and no dishwasher. This kitchen had to be gutted due to structural damage. The design goal was to create an updated look that maximizes the natural light.
COLOR: The color palette is gray/neutral with green and beige accents. Wall color is Lowe’s Quail Egg.
DECOR: I replaced dark pockmarked cabinets with Transitional-style gray tempered glass cabinets and installed an onyx beige-flecked countertop, along with a gray tile floor. The reflective glass backsplash features green, gray, and beige.
Bedrooms
Two Northern California guest bedrooms, virtual and in-person consulting:
My client lives in a leafy area with beautiful views of a lush garden. She wanted to update her guest bedrooms to reflect nature, and to look more inviting for guests.
First Guest Room
Formerly a child’s room, it was being used more as a storage space than a guest room.
COLOR: Neutral color scheme with green accents. Wall color is Kelly-Moore Imperial Ivory.
DÉCOR: Green floral accent wallpaper is the anchor for new neutral bedcover, shams, throw pillows, a new dresser, bedside tables with matching neutral lamps, and a house plant. Nature motif includes a bird mirror, bird nightlight and three custom painted bird portraits by jmorrisart.com (affordable prints available).
Second Guest Room
COLOR: Complimentary color scheme of green and red with neutral walls. Wall color is Kelly-Moore Imperial Ivory.
DÉCOR: The previously dark shelved desk unit is now a serene green and has been professionally accessorized. An indoor palm, a green pouf, and new plants bring the desired organic look, embellished with vibrant bird portraits, and seaside landscapes by jmorrisart.com (affordable prints available).
