New Construction near the Historic District: This kitchen was conceived with an open floor plan for a busy family. The rich oak floors contrasted with light, natural cherry cabinets and the cheerful cream island. This owner requested a French influence throughout the design. Furniture, textiles, florals, and accessories were selected with the flair and casual elegance of the French countryside. The tumbled travertine backsplash provided an aged texture was highlighted with a detailed metallic deco tile with copper undertones that gave the cooktop a focal point design. The warm, terracotta wall treatment created the continuity for the open spaces.
