These clients had a very specific goal of creating a display area for their family photo albums and treasured collectibles. They needed the additional storage but also wanted to add a sense of warmth and coziness while creating a statement piece for their living room. We designed this built-in area to be able to highlight different spaces...what was on top and in the cabinets and on the hearth, which could be changed out seasonally. We also changed the size and color of the slab for the kitchen island, updated the sink and faucet and replaced their pendant lights, creating a more uplifting palette to blend with their new built in cabinets. We also painted the coffered ceiling white to add more volume to the room.
