Home Sweet Home -- a Traditional Condo
We gutted the condo's dated melamine kitchen and gave it a cozy cottage feel, with white beadboard cabinet fronts and bright blue accents. A dropped fluorescent ceiling was removes and replaced with LED recessed lighting that require a mere 3 " to install. Cork flooring in a saddle brown is easy on the knees and adds warm subtle texture. An interesting metallic granite countertop is complemented by a mother-of -pearl mosaic inlay in the backsplash. Subway tiles used for the rest of the backsplash are a hand-made version, with uneven edges adding still more texture.
Our revamped layout took over a good portion of the breakfast nook, but a small bistro table and stools serves the clients well. The bright blue accent wall sets off the clients' artwork and ties in with the rest of the suite. White appliances blend with the cabinetry and make the room look larger.
