Recently I was approached by one of the executives from Houzz.com. She had a similar experience that so many of my other clients have recently had. " I woke up one morning and my house was outdated".
There has been such a shift in design that to many seemed to have appeared overnight. not too long ago we were designing with reds and golds and silks and heavy tapestries and many many many layers ... It was kind of like that whole "I live in a Mediterranean mansion" look. Heavy, stuffy, over done. Now in design the look is fresh and clean and more easy-going.... It's that whole simple elegance vibe.
The goal for this project was to create a whole new look without spending a lot of money and undergoing construction.
By simply giving the existing kitchen a fresh coat of white lacquer paint, updating the hardware with more transitional chrome polls, updating the lighting, and throwing in some current accessories there has been a complete transformation.
Of course this is a can of worms that I always warn my clients about. All of a sudden you have this gorgeous updated room but it makes no sense with the rest of your house!
I'm happy to report that with the addition of a fresh coat of warm taupe gray paint, and by incorporating some minor accessories, pillows, rugs, lighting, the entire space looks revived and updated!!!
