The recipe for a successful project? A client introduced by friends whose apartment we had already designed, complete trust in our experience and choices, a demanding schedule balancing a rewarding career and three young children, and a contractor she had relied on for years.Our commission covered design only, followed by two advisory visits at the midpoint and end of construction. The contractor was exceptional in both responsiveness and workmanship.
We moved the enclosed kitchen so that it now opens onto a double reception room. IKEA carcasses were enhanced with two-tone Superfront doors in mid-grey and patterned midnight blue, polished-brass handles and a marble-effect porcelain worktop edged in brass. Two Magic Circus pendant lights hang above the solid-oak table extending from the dining island.
Dreamlike wallpaper brings warmth to the living room.
