The kitchen and living room of the
two-storey, 2,800 sq. ft. home has design
elements that maximize light. Slimly framed
edges, graceful geometrics and burnished
gold are repeating motifs.
In the kitchen, softly shimmery grays
grace the tiling. “There are two different
counter tops. I needed a backsplash that
worked with both. The new glass tile I
found was perfect,” Jacklynn notes.
The homeowners wanted a new sofa.
This alteration, as well as the color choice
of charcoal gray changed everything. “I
loved the curve of the lamps next to the
square lines of the sofa,” Valerie notes.
Soft swatches of color in the painting
inspired the heathery hues of accessories
like the throw and accent pillows. “It’s
good to let your accessories do the talking
and keep drapery simple,” Valerie advises.
Originally the hutch was brown and
green with a painted floral design on it.
“I couldn’t give it away. No one wanted
it,” Valerie remembers. Its new hue has
created many new admirers. “Several
people say they would have taken it if
they knew it would look that nice painted.”
