Displaying posts labeled "Kitchen"

As promised, I wanted to share some kitchens designed by Shannon Tate. This first one is sooooo gorgeous I thought it needed its own post. But then I found a few more and thought they were all worthy. Enjoy! (Photos: Claire Esparros)

There are the lucky few who live in Paris. There are the luckier few who live in a Haussmannian apartment with its sugar icing plaster details, beautiful floors and towering windows and doors. Then there are the luckiest few of all who live in a Haussmannian apartment renovated by Parisian interior designers Agence Véronique Cotrel. Shall we talk about that kitchen? Perhaps not as I just might tear up with jealousy.

It was a dated 70s townhouse in inner city Melbourne but after its transformation by architect Lisa Breeze it’s a stylish home with great design chops. The bricks and rough sawn timber remain but with a contemporary look and as for that kitchen … it has my singing the blues in a good way. A fresh, fun take on modern retro.

“To create beautifully unique spaces with a nod to historical details and high-end craftsmanship that will stand the test of time while simultaneously embracing the modern amenities and clean lines of design today.”

That’s the mission statement and here are the results. A new home designed and built from the ground up by Seattle-based Katie Hackworth and her team. It’s stylish modern living with an emphasis on balance and symmetry, layering textures, patterns, and palette.

At first I thought I was just having another kitchen crush moment going on but it’s so much more. Don’t get me wrong. I love the this white kitchen with its sleek contemporary lines and hidden surprises. There’s even a nod to traditional kitchens and don’t get me started on the floors. The Serge Mouille light and the Hans Wegner Wishbone chairs finish it off to perfection but the true hero of this space? The beautiful light flooding in through the wall of steel framed windows. What a luxury. It’s not just the kitchen though that has me squealing with delight. I know you’ll love the rest of this Prospect Heights Townhouse by Elizabeth Roberts Architecture & Design as much as I do.
