QUINTESSENTIAL ITALIAN STYLE
A little behind the scenes of Nonna’s Kitchen 🍋🌻🇮🇹
This client is all about 100-year old Italian kitchens. Picking out lots of pattern, color, and tiles from my childhood memories, the travels around Italy I’ve done over the years, it was a fun and emotional assignment!
I’m mixing different patterns and finishes to make the new kitchen feel collected over time, rather than brand new. Colors that are fitting with the old Italian country homes aesthetic. The beautifully made antiqued tiles that are still produced today.
This is one of my favorite parts of the design process: putting all the materials together and seeing what happens.
Would you go this colorful in your kitchen?

Wallpaper can be bold, wallpaper can be quiet too. Still so rich and dimensional. This one is a special kind of fun.

Still one of our favorite bathrooms we’ve worked on. It is so peaceful in there! Not every clients asks for a spa/zen feeling, but when they do, happy to deliver one. 🧘🛀😌
When most of the project is done and you get to have some fun with accent paint colors, the perfect white shade…I love this phase!

Fun things happening this year
Serene. Seashore. Mountains. Here are some of the keywords that were the guiding star for this kitchen remodel.
No big layout changes, no bold choices. This was a joyful, soul-feeding collaboration that we always, always appreciate.
Big plus: they went for one of our favorite tile backsplash, one we had been manifesting for quite a while! Check back next month for the final unveiling.

Who doesn’t need to recharge and self-care these days. We take those moments very seriously when planning a bathroom for our clients.
The conversation is not just about colors and patterns, it’s about what makes them feel amazing. Are you a cool bathroom person? A summer Mediterranean beach feel kind of dreamer? That’s how we know we’re on the right track when planning the space, the materials and lighting.
This client wanted to feel calm but also energized. Still hearing about the joy of stepping into this space every morning, and loving it!

Picking out paint colors has all to do with light and paint shine levels. Always best to try a couple more samples than regret your choice later.
Paint samples are not free though, so here is my Pro tip!
If paint is on walls - such as the accent stove cove we’re planning on - stakes are lower. Painting a smaller portion of the wall is manageable but most.
Custom cabinetry paint color - pay attention and make sure you love it! Repairing cabinets properly is a true skill, only real pros should do it and that come with $$$.
