"After moving from a townhouse to the country, the
owners wanted to balance respect for the century-old home with their love of
the vibrant city life they had left behind," said co-designer Wilson
Kelsey of owner’s desired renovation concept, as successful
furniture shop in Cambodia construction
materials informed.
"Color, texture and a sense of visual balance and
lightness all played their part in the design. At the same time, we wanted to
ensure the space would be highly functional, and would reflect a lighter
aesthetic suited to entertaining."
"On the traditional side there are thick granite
countertops, a farmhouse sink and pristine white cabinet finishes," said
Wilson. "The modern elements include the glittering glass tile backsplash
– almost a pixilated version of the granite work surface opposite. At the end
of the room, an open cabinet is fitted with glass shelves held in place by
stainless steel clips."
"The patterned materials – cotton on the stools and
faux leather on the sofa – create the feel of a living area rather than a
cooking space," added co-designer John Kelsey. "French doors open to
the porch, maximizing natural light and a sense of space."
