round rug / shell chair / table / throw (similar) / fiddle leaf fig / vase / pendant
Hello and happy Thursday!
I’m excited to share some client goodness today in the form of a refreshed kitchen and breakfast nook! You may remember the dining room and living room I shared last year from these same local clients. I have no idea why it took me so long to share this last space, but there is nothing like the present to change that, so let’s check it out!
But first, we need to see the before shots!
My clients wanted their space to feel fresh, modern and better reflect their style and personality. When we started, everything felt very beige, brown and a bit dull so we painted all the walls a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore Gray Owl (one of my fav warm greys). Gray Owl has just the right balance of warm/cool undertones and was the perfect foundation for the other colors and design elements to shine.
We kept their pretty glass dining table and added those classic Modernica Side Shell Chairs to pay homage to their love of Mid-Century Modern style. We added that amazing open weave pendant and swapped out the carpet panels for that fun round rug to ground everything out! I love how light and airy the space feels now!
Moving on to the kitchen and continuing that light and airy vibe…we painted their nice maple cabinets a fresh coat of white (BM Chantilly Lace, a classic) and swapped out the pulls for my fav modern matte black ones from Schoolhouse Electric. Classic + modern, just the way I like it!
My clients didn’t want to completely overhaul the kitchen – but instead wanted more of a facelift and we mostly achieved that with paint. We did swap out the tile for that dreamy marble herringbone, which I love so much. I wish they would have tiled all the way up to the ceiling though!
And I couldn’t forget the little island! In addition to swapping out the pendants, we painted the island BM Gentlemen’s Grey, which feels fresh and modern but also classic and tailored. I love how it plays against that amazing runner and brings this kitchen to life with that amazing color!
Isn’t it amazing what a little bit of paint, lighting, a few new pieces and some decor can do? I had so much fun working on this project and I hope you have enjoyed this little tour!
As always, I’ve got all of the sources below in case you curious and need more details! The links are below the image.
Cheers, friends!
