THE DESIGNERS 80% of our business comes from repeat customers and client referrals. Each Kitchen Collection project reflects both the desires of the client as well as the style of the home. We have decades of experience, knowledge and expertise working with homeowners and contractors and have created many personalized kitchens and baths throughout the South Bay area. DESCRIBE YOUR FEATURED PROJECT. The home, a mid-century modern sitting high on a hill, has a wonderful view from the family room; however, a wall blocked the view from the kitchen. The client’s desire for ample workspace and a more open environment meant the dividing wall would be removed. This involved major structural work, but the resulting space was worth the effort. As with so many older homes, divided spaces are not compatible with our current, more casual lifestyles. The new space was designed to allow the clients to enjoy each other’s company while including anyone involved in the food preparation. The cabinetry was selected to reflect the simple style of mid-century modern, emphasizing the beauty of the wood grain. Dark quartz counters and dark accessories add balance to the room, while the hood accents the wonderful openness of the high ceiling. The flooring installed in the entire new space emphasizes the oneness of the room, while rugs and furniture groupings maintain an awareness of the functions of each area. And everyone can now enjoy the view! DESCRIBE YOUR CLIENTS. We love what we do, and over the years we have had the privilege of meeting, working with and getting to know so many wonderful people. Our clients range from first-time buyers on a tight budget to those who need to remodel out of necessity, to emptynesters who are now enjoying the next chapter in their lives. We take the time to get to know clients and help them select what they really need rather than following the latest trends. /oursouthbay oursouthbay.com 117
