Life at the Counter: Client Project Preview!
There's a story behind every project. Every home has a family that makes each detail I work on worthwhile and meaningful. Lucky for me some of my clients turn into friends-- I was blessed to work on this beautiful home of a past client turned friend and the end result is truly amazing! I'll be sharing the full tour later this week, but wanted to give you a peek into this kitchen remodel and the details that made it so special!
The original kitchen in this home didn't have any place to sit at the bar and when I designed the new one I knew we just had to work in some island seating! With 3 young children it only made sense to have the practical counter stools for them. I kept thinking how "life happens at the kitchen counter!" I love when my own children come home from school and find their spot at the counter to recount their day and grab their after school snack, just as I did as a child. In fact, it's funny to admit this, but in the year and a half we've lived in our current home, every single meal we've eaten has been at the kitchen counter, not the dining table! The island counter ends up being the heart of our home & we're all gathered around there each day. It's really become the modern day dining table!
So when it came to designing this dreamy kitchen for my sweet friend, the island seating became a focus. I wanted to be able to give their family this priceless gift of a kitchen that is functional and beautiful! We spent so much time selecting the perfect counter stools... ones that were pretty, detailed, light weight and well-made. I love Serena & Lily's fresh take on casual dining and that their products are made to stand the test of time! The product quality & styling are truly timeless!
The Riviera counter stools combine a stunning rattan frame and family-friendly woven plastic seat to create the perfect combination of elements-- drawing inspiration from European bistro chairs of days gone by! The pop of navy adds some upscale color and a touch of coastal flair perfect for this design.
Knowing how many memories will unfold in this kitchen makes my job as a designer such a special one. Stay tuned for the full project reveal and be sure to check out Serena & Lily to see all their beautiful counter & bar stool options to make your kitchen come to life!
