DINING ROOM
“This room, along with foyer and family room, were designed in a transitional Mediterranean style, using a warm soothing neutral palette of
mushroom gray, taupe and cream, with accents of soft burgundy and black wrought iron,” Richards says. “This combination creates a unique,
cozy, refined and modernized twist to a Mediterranean style decor.” Hints of neutral colors make the white dishes and accessories stand out in
the room cabinets that were updated by Michael O’Brien of Painttek in Dunellen. “The Kathy Kuo Home cabinets were highly distressed,”
Richards says. “Michael worked with me to strip them, paint a base coat, then lightly antique them. We got a great look, saving our client thou-
sands of dollars.” Transitional variations on old-world patterns in the drapery, chandelier style, and curvy cabinets all create the backdrop for
the custom dining chairs.
