Affordable solutions to bring new life to your kitchen!

If you are like most women, you spend a considerable amount of time in your kitchen and like most women (and men) , a refreshing new look would lift your spirit.

How do you accomplish that and not break the bank?

The answer is mixing finishes.

Urban Grace Interiors

You can incorporate black and gold to any stainless steel kitchen appliances and achieve a bolder, lived-in edge.

South Park Design Build

If you are remodeling or refreshing, cabinet pulls, light fixtures, faucets and other hardware are the easiest ways to achieve a kitchen change and experience the upbeat pleasure of new.

Clearcut Construction Inc.

While oil-rubbed bronze and brass were the most recent haves, people are now experimenting with a variety of metal finishes, including champagne brass and charcoal stainless.

Jeff King & Company

There are many beautiful options besides the once popular brass. I like to mix finishes, and I think my clients are comfortable with that. A client might opt for brass hardware and a different metallic color in lighting.

One of my favorite finishes is mixing black or really darker bronze faucets (for a modern, clean look) with brass hardware to add sophistication against stainless steel appliances.

Square Footage Inc.

Here’s the catch, though. There is a real danger in incorporating too many different finishes in a small space that can look too busy: two or three make things interesting and stylish.

Du interiors

If you are unsure how to achieve what I am proposing, consider hiring an interior designer. For a moderate consultation fee, you will save a lot of time and money and not make costly mistakes.

Our training and experience will guide you. You’ll be in safe hands and broaden your concepts of design.

Don’t worry, be happy!

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change. The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...
