After traveling in Mexico, one kitchen owner felt inspired by her adventure and particularly a painting she had brought back. Designers Nicholette Patton and Nar Bustamente of Nar Fine Carpentry brought out the essence of the artwork in this vibrant redesign.
“We wanted to go bold because the colors in that painting are very saturated,” explained Patton.
The curved arch inspired the walk-around island, which has square, segmented cabinets but a curved top.
Darkly finished walnut makes up the tall cabinets on the island. “We used that to anchor the space and just bring in some of those warmer tones that you see a lot in Mexico and Spain,” said Patton.
Behind the hood, the hand-painted tile backsplash once again recalls the Mexican inspiration.
“For this bold of a design, there has to be a balance between color, texture and white space,” Patton explained.
