Special Features
These homeowners are not afraid to indulge in saturated colors and original design concepts. I love the perimeter tile border that ties in the adjacent hardwood flooring for a seamless flow from room to room. We reorganized the laundry room doorway and added built-in banquette seating for a cozy, elegant space. We had both the banquette and dining room table pedestals crafted by Custom Wood Products with a coordinating oak wooden top for the dining room table and a Cambria top for the banquette area – absolutely stunning in person! The brushed gold and matte black tones of the hardware and lighting fixtures add warmth and pizazz to the beautiful cabinetry. We incorporated many levels of lighting; task recessed cans and under cabinet lighting as well as accent pendants, sconces, internal pucks and toe kick lighting. A Bose ceiling speaker system was also installed.
