In 2011, the design-bed pro Xerd Lewis and his wife, Catherine, Scots Valley, moved to their 1962 traditional style house in California. Over the years, the couple updated the house in stages to make more of a coastal cottage style. In 2017, he created a new open-concept kitchen and 8-foot additional for dining room.
But after living with the kitchen for many years, he realized that while many elements looked fine and worked well, bright white cabinets and Blue Island Base dated the space. In search of more warm and a current look, he worked with designer Kerry Gillette, who used Hauz Pro Software, for a refresh.
Now creamy white cabinets and a soft beige paint on the island base create a warm and invited style. New rustic parquet beams and wood-ul floors add more heat. Flooring materials and upholstered in performance fabrics introduce durable details that persistly stand for guests.
