The Project:
The 1920s-era house had a small galley kitchen with just three feet of workspace.  Located at the back of the house it was dark and inefficient.  Zoning setbacks and the cost of moving the powder room prohibited expansion.
Removing the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room and re-arranging the doorways to the living room and basement provided ample room for an efficient table-space kitchen.
Light streams in from new windows and a new side French door.  The materials pallet and high-level of detail lends the feel of a living space suitable for entertaining. 
Cobalt is the owner's favorite color but it always overpowered the airiness she craved.  We used it liberally on large accent pieces (such as the island) But then we muted it with the gray-toned whites in the cabinets, the stainless, concrete counters, and tumbled carrara marble.
