Celebrity Style - In the Kitchen

I have a number of interior design projects in the works, including various stages of kitchen designs. My goal is always to create spaces that feel fresh but also timeless, especially when it comes to kitchens. They are an investment and I never want them to tire quickly.

Today I'm sharing a peek into the world of celeb kitchens. Some of these actresses have since moved but their homes were stunning, non the less. Cheers!

In the hood...

I am currently working on a couple of kitchen designs. Selecting a unique hood is a great way to personalize your kitchen. Not only are they functional but beautiful. Whether you are a modernists, traditionalist or somewhere in between there is a hood out there for you. I am currently loving the "french" versions that have a little more interest, shape and detail. A statement hood works in both large and small kitchens. Here is a round up of some of my favorites.

Wood and other materials

Lighten up, brighten up!

I'm currently designing three kitchen projects and a few bathrooms. They are rewarding jobs because, not only do I get to put my mixologist skills to work for the finish and color selections but my Master's degree training comes into play. I love envisioning how ceilings will meet and planes intersect. One of the projects has a smaller dated kitchen that we are trying to open up, expand and lighten visually as much as possible. In fact, the before shots of our project remind me a little bit of this Ojai's project by the talented Amber Interiors. (girlfriend is on fire).. Check out this beautiful transformation. I would LOVE to raise the ceiling, just like this!! And look at the power of warm, white paint!

Afternoon, lovies!! I'm taking a much needed break from a kitchen design I'm working on. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the process but needed a little breather from computer drawing.

Today, I'm sharing the Better Homes and Garden feature of Julianne Hough's adorable home (a.k.a Jules - my nickname too). This incredibly cozy nest is just what the doctor ordered on this frigid snowy day! It doesn't get much more inviting. And that kitchen??? GAH! If I did not have so many friends and family in New England, I'd move to southern California in a heartbeat!!
