Before and After Kitchen Renovation

Wow !  I didn't realize I haven't done a blog post for over a year ! Guess we've been pretty busy with design projects.  Will try and post more often.  Personally I LOVE before and afters  - and so I wanted to share this recent renovation we did which has a good transformation .

BEFORE

Most of our renovations are complete demo's .  We love working with a clean slate !

Now this Kitchen is Open and bright .   Accents of brass is classic , not a fad or trend.  Many clients are afraid to do it ... thinking it's just a trend .  But it stays timeless when mixed with other metals.
White Kitchens are always great especially when you introduce a contrast color for the island . 

Don't forget the 5th wall ... the Ceiling !   We added molding to the ceiling to give it some architectural detailing .   Speaking of architectural detailing... we also arched some doorways and raised the ceiling .    Kitchens design is not just pretty materials and nice appliances , it begins with a good space plan , finding clever ways to borrow space from other rooms and make it all functional .  The aesthetic is always in the back of my mind , but I truly believe form follows function.

Good Looking and Eco-Friendly .  Now you got my attention Du Verre ! 

As a designer, I am always looking for new products that are innovative and ahead of their time.  I love products that are great quality, timeless and never trendy.   So I was really excited (while on BlogtourNOLA with Modenus) to learn about this hardware company Du Verre  , I mean I was SO impressed!  

Du Verre is not only a design leader for quality and original contemporary hardware, but they are also Green!  Yes, eco-friendly.  I love a company who is passionate about sustainability without sacrificing design.  Du Verre die cast hardware is made from recycled aluminum which is fully compatible with LEED objectives .

Du Verre is a company who really gets it. All around.  In today's design market, collaborations are key.  And they are no spring chickens to that.   Their collaborations with award winning designers include some of my favorites designers, like Goodman Charlton, Erin Adams and more..
