I'm happy to be sharing the kitchen and dining area of the Pretty and Polished home today. The space isn't huge, but it is beautiful, practical and perfect for the young family who lives here. It was fun to consult with my friend as she made design decisions for her kitchen. I think we made a great team! I love how it came together. Take a look.
Isn't it lovely? The navy and coral combo gets me every time. :) Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are having a great week!

When one of your closest friends builds a home and asks you to decorate her Great Room, you immediately say "Yes", and start planning. That is exactly what I did when I found myself in that scenario, earlier this year. Today, I am thrilled to be revealing the Family Room area of the Great Room!
The Great Room of an open concept floor plan, consists of the Family Room, Kitchen and Dining Area. My good friend knew that building a home would be a huge expense, and that decorating the whole house immediately would not be an option. She also knew she wanted to invest to make the largest area of her home, the one her family would be spending the most time in, a space that would be beautiful, comfortable and a reflection of her style. I had the privilege of consulting with her to pick out finishes and colors during the building process. That made it easy for me to hone in on her personal style. I created a design board to help her see my vision for the Great Room Area. Thankfully, she loved it all and we got busy purchasing furniture and accessories. The result is a pretty, polished and comfortable space she and her family can enjoy. Take a look...
I love combination of the navy and coral, with the small pops of green. :) Next week I'll be revealing the Kitchen and Dining area, so be sure to come back and check them out!
Hopefully, I'll be able decorate the rest of her home, in the future, and be able to share that with you too!

As promised, today I am back with the reveal of the Primrose Project Kitchen. My client's previous kitchen was pretty, but it wasn't jiving with the bright, fresh feel they wanted for their home. So we decided to gut the kitchen and start from scratch. All new white cabinetry was installed. We kept most of the appliances in the same spaces, but we upgraded them to professional series appliances, including a range with a steam oven. We also opted to panel the full size refrigerator and freezer. The other major change we made was taking out the angled corner pantry. We then added gorgeous quartz countertops, a white beveled subway tile, with a pretty marble herringbone accent, beautiful brass hardware and lighting. Again, we replaced the old tile floor with gorgeous quarter sawn white oak wood floors, which we continued through to the living room, and finished with a rich, dark stain. The result is a fabulous and functional kitchen, perfect for cooking up meals and hosting family gatherings.
The angled corner pantry was squared off. We made it larger by borrowing room from the laundry area that was behind it. We then gave it a fun cabinet front, swinging door to keep it hidden and continue the flow of the cabinets.
Thats's a pebble ice maker you see in there! I am so jealous!!
A new round dining table, pretty wood and upholstered chairs and a beautiful new light fixture found their home in the dining area of the kitchen.
Brass barstools? Yes, please!!
Here is what the kitchen looked like before:
and now:
Isn't it just perfect? I certainly think so. My clients have enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and then gathering around their new 72" round dining table. The large table is perfect for this family of 7! My clients said that it had changed the way they interact at meal times. They are having more conversation than ever before! Now that is beauty and function at its' best. I hope you enjoyed the kitchen reveal!

Here is a closer look at the kitchen from the Rigby Project. The details in this space are everything! I will never get tired of a white kitchen and it's kitchens like this that keep my heart fluttering for them. The custom white cabinetry and white quartz counter tops are beautifully accented by the white subway tile with a Carrara marble mosaic inset. The coffered ceiling is the icing on the cake to this in this show stopping space.
Enjoy!
Isn't it lovely? I give out a little sigh every time I see it. :) More reveals from the Rigby project coming soon!
