Designer Vicky Serany of Cary, N.C.-based Southern Studio Interior Design renovated this kitchen, keeping in mind the clients’ vision for a light-filled space ideal for entertaining.
After removing a wall and a peninsula, there was enough room to outfit the new kitchen with a large island, a dining area and a beverage station – all in a white palette with pops of color from the blue upholstered stools and natural wood island cabinets.
For the master bathroom, the clients wanted to create a spa-like area at home, complete with warm wood in the vanity, cool blue wallpaper and brushed-gold hardware to add a layer of extravagance.
The clients were concerned about putting the tub in front of the window because this view faces out to the street. Serany solved this problem by installing bamboo shades.
The steam shower accommodates the clients’ aging-in-place needs with two benches and two hand-held showerheads, as well as a rainhead.
Blue diamond wallpaper accentuates the height of the room and contrasts the marble flooring.
