Hi there!
I thought I'd share a "before and after" of a kitchen renovation that I just completed for a client in San Francisco.
It's a petite condo in the Marina District that has a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge and of Alcatraz.

Here is the "BEFORE" pic:

This photo was taken with my iphone right before demo, so of course it's not the greatest.

Oak cabinets, parquet wood floor (partially demo-ed here in this pic), white tile, and a fridge that stuck out about 6 inches past the counter, made this small kitchen look even smaller.

And now for the "AFTER":

The overhead hanging cabinets were removed on one side, which made a huge difference in light and airiness in the space.

The countertop is a beautiful quartz called Quartz Concerto, and the counter is 2 inches thick instead of the usual 1 1/2 inches, which makes for a fresh and contemporary look.

The new refrigerator is now counter depth and the 2x8 subway tile add a simple and light backsplash. We used shaker style doors with oversized hardware for visual impact.

We chose Quartz for this project because of it's durability and because it does not require sealing, re-polishing or reconditioning.

I just love the way this kitchen turned out!

Cheers!

Interior Design: Before & After Bathroom Remodel

My clients have two young daughters and needed this bathroom to more efficient with storage and space. They wanted a timeless design in their 100 year old home that would transition with the girls as they grow from playing in the bathtub as toddlers, to maximizing space needed for makeup, hairdryers, etc as they become teenagers.

Art is a big focus for me and especially, original art. My home is filled with art that I’ve collected over the years and I’m constantly rotating pieces around my house! Art makes a room!

Interior Design: Before and After Dining Room

There is nothing like spending time in a happy and bright space that brings joy. This family loves to use their dining room for weekly ‘family game nights’ and theme parties as well as hosting their friends for dinner. I’m excited to share the details of the transformation!

Interior Design: A Pretty Place for Reading

In this project, in Orinda, Ca., I was tasked with coming up with a design solution for a landing space at the top of a stairwell. It was a space that was too small for a loveseat and chairs, and too big and open to use as a home office.
