DESIGNING A KITCHEN

DESIGNING A KITCHEN

Good Morning!  January 5th.... the holidays are over and I hate to be the bearer of bad news....but its time to get back to work.

Better embrace it cause time is tick.... tick.... ticking.

I know you want to punch me huh:)

If youve been following me on Instagram maybe you caught some pictures of a new project I have been working on.  The biggest part of it is the kitchen....and lucky for me the builder/homeowner [Michael Ladisic of Ladisic Fine Homes] is working with Matthew Quinn of Design Galleria.

Talk about jackpot.  Kapow!

At our first meeting the homeowner had thoughts of gray cabinets mixed with red.  Since I am a visual person I ran around the showroom looking for some red, brass, and pewter to get a feel of how it would look!

After we left I went searching for some inspiration and saw this image.  A little deeper than red with hints of plum and burgundy.

Pretty huh?

Here is a picture of the space looking straight on.  You cant see it in this picture but to the right is a pantry about the size of my guest room:)

That is actually where the red cabinets will be and in the main part of the kitchen they are dark gray mixed with a rifted oak island.

Here is the color for the red....which is more of a deep burgundy color.

So....here is how it would look all together....

The brass fixtures will go over the island and the Hicks fixture will go over a vintage island in the pantry.

I cant wait to see this one come together....working with Matthew Quinn is amazing.  

A few thoughts he has about putting together a kitchen....

**No more than 3 different metals or 3 different colors in one space.  

**He also said after selecting your stone either use the same material as the backsplash or choose a subtle complementary textured tile.  If the countertops are honed [dull] choose the opposite finish for a tile backsplash.

I will keep you posted on this one as it unfolds.  The cabinets are being installed now.

Yall....for some reason I woke up at 3:40 AM....I tried my best to go back to sleep finally getting up at 4:15 and watched some TV.....back to sleep at 5:15 and no luck so back up.

It is gonna be a loooooooong day:(
