Coming in for a Soft Landing

Our homeowners wanted to turn the area near their kitchen door into a comfortable spot for day-to-day comings and goings.

The right bench was the perfect solution for style as well as function.

Scarcely Filled Wall Gets Function and Style

The homeowners knew something was needed in this space with under scaled art, but had functioning issues that needed to be addressed as well.  This was a "drop zone" coming in from the garage that shared space with the kitchen. We needed a surface on which to set mail, keys, etc. and it needed to be beautiful to look at.

"Contemporary and not an image" was the request for art. Our job was to coordinate finishes and scale it accordingly. This mixed metals composition did the trick.
The buffet was brought in to house a few drop zone essentials and a place for extra lighting. We framed the entire wall's composition by picking a lamp with a contemporary curve that speaks to the art but completes the whole frame.
A large scaled ceramic tray with silver fruits reveals the simple clean line message the clients wanted for their existing space.

Kitchen Collection Part 2

A wood tray was filled with pomegranates, artichokes and soft grasses to make a focal point in a kitchen/hearth room. All the finishes were considered; such as the wood table, iron chandelier and fabric covered chairs before picking the materials for this custom design.

                                                  

Kitchen Collection Part 1

There is musicality in designing above kitchen cabinets; a delicate balance between filling the entire space and not filling it out enough. A certain rhythm must be achieved with the right accessories to achieve a great composition.

A pair of large scale jugs were brought in for proportion and color. Larger plates and a new position for the grasses make for the beat we were looking for. A Mackinzie-Childs tea kettle was given a few red blooms for a final touch.
