Lunada House

 Complete gut and remodel. Client moved out of home they had lived in for years and 9 months later, new house ! Working with architect and contractor I selected with clients all finishes for home. Starting with a color palette and a design theme of Farmhouse. 4 bathrooms and the kitchen we my primary focus. Tile in baths and kitchen were selected to flow from room to room. Dark hardwood floors in rich chocolate were the base and most paint colors have a tinge of warm grey.

cho·co·la·tier : definition of a Kitchen

What does a professional Chocolatier want in a kitchen ? Marble counter-tops and as much as she has room for. This 60's rancher had a typical peninsula shaped kitchen. There usually isn't enough width to get an island in this layout without moving walls but we managed to get it in ! Longer than wide but still more functional than the old layout. We widen the doorways into the dining room and out to the foyer. This made kitchen feel bigger ! Bellmont Cabinets white wall cabinets and alder base add to a remix of the modern/traditional feel.  Bianco Carrera honed counter-tops with a mitered edge. Kitchen backsplash Lunada "Ascot Mint" New oak hardwood floors in random plank.
 In the bathroom we did wall hanging vanities with a subway tile from Richard and Sterling. Every other tile in both kitchen and bath was polished or matte. All construction by Kenney Construction, Martinez Ca.
