Borrowing additional sq. footage from a bed room, the now bigger and extra open kitchen has a ceiling with beams and tongue-and-groove planks that look as in the event that they’ve at all times been there.

A wood dome island was chosen to enrich the ceiling and different wood accents, with its curved form offering a pleasant distinction to the angular areas elsewhere. And, after all, the pop of colour and lighting of the occasions was a giant a part of the change.
“The perimeter wall cabinetry is a enjoyable asymmetrical design utilizing each white and lime inexperienced slab doorways and customized inserts for artistic storage,” says Michaela. “Ornamental Nelson pendants and an elongated pill-shaped backsplash tile deliver the MCM taste to the area.”
