Lake house kitchen before/after.

Not a great pic but it’s all I have! I never got to properly photograph this project. My clients decided to sell their lake house - it went in 2 days! The cosmetic interior upgrades we did made a huge difference and boosted their sale price. What was a builder-basic spec house turned into a high end luxury property. Here at their bar, I used hardware, Zelleige tiles, a classic Dornbracht bar faucet, and a more sophisticated cabinet paint (the color was formerly a vanilla cream that felt dated and too warm with all the warm wood tones in the cottage). I also added an under-counter panel-ready wine fridge. It’s ready for summer soirées and it’s lucky new owners!

My first foray into custom wicker! A designed piece made for and a wonderful client. It took a village to get this one done - from its steel frame (shaped to a very exact radial curve), antiqued oak supports, and of course, the incredible wicker in a customized vintage-looking stain. It’s so cool and textural, I love it!
