We collaborated with an architect to add an addition to this client’s home that would extend their kitchen and create a primary suite. We also gave their powder room, dining room, and living room a much needed refresh.

About the Project

Our clients are a family who love to cook and host. They needed a bit more space for their lifestyle, so we collaborated with an architect and builder to add a two story addition to their home that gave them room to expand their kitchen and create a primary suite. We worked to make their kitchen functional and beautiful with luxury appliances, a full wet bar, and a large island clad in Iceberg quartzite. We furnished the adjacent living room and added an incredible antique chandelier and a cozy fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinetry.

The adjacent powder room got an art deco facelift and we revamped the dining room, adding wallpaper, fresh chairs to the antique table, and a rug to tie the original space into the new.

In the primary suite, we leaned heavily into a moody, romantic vibe with lush textiles in the bedroom. A leather clad bed and chair, velvet upholstered bench, and dramatic draperies set the mood, and the light fixtures were the cherry on top. In the bathroom, we wanted to create a peaceful retreat combining natural materials and cheerful wall tile. Inspired by their travels to Ashford Castle, the clients also requested a dazzling chandelier over their tub, who were we to say no?!
