For clients with an eclectic style, the designer implemented a neutral palette with pops of herringbone patterns and colors.
“The kitchen was designed in a very neutral palate, and it was our goal to modernize the space with sophisticated cabinetry and sleek appliances so that the art could take center stage,” said co-designer Lisa Blust of Kitchens Unlimited.

“There were not many issues we ran into with this remodel, but we almost didn’t get to use the Blanco Ikon apron style sink,” said Muhlenbruch. “When the client had placed the order it was to arrive right before the cabinets, but we later found out it was completely out of stock and we had to wait for new products to be released. We only had to push back the project for a couple of weeks, because out of nowhere the sink arrived!”
