Project Love ~ Rolling, Rolling...

I'm introducing you to a new part of the project ~ the kitchen. This was started after other areas of the home. Here are the before shots...

Not too shabby. However, the island was an awkward shape with places to sit only at opposing corners. Not very conducive to discussing the day for this lovely couple. Plus there wasn't much originality, nothing outwardly special about the room. There is a remedy for that!

First make a mess, then add here and there. Don't worry, the cabinets removed will be repurposed. The island and other woodwork seen are the work of the craftsmen at Creative Works. An island was designed and constructed such that husband and wife may actually sit next to each other ~ imagine that :) The island's glazed ivory finish contrasts with the perimeter cabinetry. The perimeter cabinets are in fantastic shape and are quite lovely ~ still... they'll eventually be enhanced even further. The perimeter base cabinets will have Silestone...

I love the functionality, ease, and look of Silestone! We'll add some tile...

A combination of natural stone, copper, and glass. We'll also add granite for the island and a grand cast stone hood...

So far so good?

Monday I'll show you a no-no and the cure that happens occasionally in kitchen projects. It will be the first Monday's Method I've done in a while. You remember Monday's Method don't you??!! You know where folks write in and get interior design advice. Peruse a couple of the posts and if you have an interior design question or dilemma, by all means leave me a comment or drop me an email with pictures if you have them. A very important aspect of interior design is solving problems.
