Modern kitchen with beige cabinets, a large island with white countertop, and four barstools with metal frames and beige cushions. On the island, there are three white vases with greenery, a bottle of wine, and three wine glasses. Large windows and a sliding glass door reveal trees outside, and the floor is tiled with earthy-toned stone tiles. Black ceiling-mounted light fixtures are visible.

Sometimes clients become friends, and sometimes friends become clients. Not sure which came first here, but a beautiful relationship evolved as we helped this stylish fashion exec and her hubby transform a not-so-tasteful, dated kitchen into a clean, chic space.

To keep the look contemporary, we went with slab doors painted in a custom color, chosen after reviewing many sample ideas with the clients. Keeping that stylish simplicity as the running theme, we designed a custom stucco box-style hood over the induction range top.

A giant island was first on the “needs” list of the clients, so they could entertain all their friends comfortably, with ample charcuterie platters. The pièce de résistance is the Thermador built-in coffee maker, which is used daily to keep everyone happy – including us caffeine-addicted designer friends!
