Some wonderful clients of mine, decided to build a new home. I had worked with them on their two previous homes, so when they called and asked me to come help again, I felt so blessed. First we had to pick out their interior selections. Things like tile, carpet, paint, granite etc. The clients are young they wanted a modern traditional feel to the home. I uploaded some photos of how we created the style.
The kitchen is painted a warm beige with brown undertones. For the cabinets we did a creamy base with black glaze and choose to keep the granite as more of neutral than a focal point, using tropical brown slabs. With all of these very traditional finishes, we decided to add that pop of unexpected modern by choosing a black glass mosic tile with brushed nickel 2×2 inserts for the kitchen backsplash.
Another way we mixed traditional with modern elements was by using traditional stone tiles in a brick lay pattern and adding a linear element with the tile border. The black stones in the shower tiles picks up the chocolate and black color palette that runs throughout the home.
Monday was move in day for the homeowners, so on Wednesday, I was hired to come and help them accessorize their home with their existing accessories. Personally, I love doing one day make overs. Its instant gratification. The home owners laid out all their personal items for me to pick and choose what we wanted to use. Myself and my two fabulous handy helpers accessorized the entire house in 6 hours! Whew… Below are a few pictures from some of the space.
