North Hollywood Kitchen
Kitchen, Los Angeles
This is a small kitchen we designed and executed for a very unique individual. He has a love for nature, but has traditional taste. Rather than go with the obvious choices of stone, slate, travertine, Marilynn chose this dramatic wood look tile by Emser and brought it all the way to the ceiling to give the illusion of taller ceilings and a larger kitchen. Allison added to that illusion by removing a dropped light box and creating a coffered ceiling. The dramatic wine color (DEA 145 Wine Stain) on the lower cabinets brought out the plum in the granite counters and antique brass knobs (Lowes) added class. The dark accent craterlake tile (Home depot) floors and lower cabinets were balanced by the white upper cabinets (DEW 340 Whisper) and soft sage green paint (DE 6241 Lunar Landing) on the walls and coffered ceiling.
