Currently on My Desk

I am currently working on a kitchen design for an Indianapolis couple that just purchased a historic fixer-upper.  I wanted to give them some options to look at, but also I wanted to show how easy it can be to change the feel of a space with cosmetic changes. The couple I am working with is young and fun and wanted a kitchen to suit. The first is an updated look maintaining the traditional feel of the home, the second one is more modern with the finishes, keeping the overall look more what they had in mind. I rendered the third option just for you readers to show how simple cosmetic changes can completely transform a space.

Boring Beige

There is a lot of talk out there about the fallacies in a boring beige room. The thing is, there are a lot of people out there who are afraid of color, and thats ok. It is true that beige can be boring, but only when it is not done well. The trick is layering tone on tone color with contrasting wood and millwork. The variation in tone and saturation will liven up an otherwise boring beige.
