Since we lost an hour over the weekend, we decided that we’re going to give back a little extra this week. First, a huge thank you to Marina at Designer Premier for her lovely blog on EKD’s Golden kitchen remodel. We loved working on this project with the amazing homeowners and Barbatelli Signature Interiors. Second, make sure to check out the full blog by following the link below!
The contemporary updates accommodate life in the 21st century while the preserved traditional elements honor the house’s history – and the kitchen certainly follows suit. The kitchen includes of a large island with a quartzite counter for food prep and science experiments plus a lowered walnut tabletop for family dinners, arts and crafts. The ice maker, hot water dispenser and trash storage also received honorable mentions for the ‘Things We Couldn’t Live Without’ category. We have a nook for Chewy, he just likes to lay in the walkway more… who knows,” says Brandi of their Bernese/Poodle puppy as he’s sprawled across the floor.
Last month, we introduced you to #EverythingHappensInTheKitchen and this month, we’re taking over EKD designer, Melissa Fitzgerald’s kitchen. To help make a large island possible, Melissa designed her cabinetry to be 18” deep and added antiqued mirror center panels to give more dimension to the space and make it feel a little larger. I definitely lost sleep thinking ‘I can’t believe I picked a stone with pink in it’, but I could not be happier with the final product. Thanks for joining us in Melissa’s kitchen and make sure you subscribe to EKD’s newsletter, follow us on Facebook and Instagram (#everythinghappensinthekitchen) and send us your own images of what happens in YOUR kitchen!
We’ll look at how a design can elevate the kitchen space from a place based on utility – to a space that enhances every day moments. The effect finishes and materials can have on a home, and how any home’s surroundings can lend itself to inspiration. To make it the space in everyone’s home where everything happens. Follow us through the year to see what’s happening in our personal kitchens, hear stories about our clients’ kitchens and share your stories as well.
