This client's short list, long on aspirations, engendered a convivial collaboration with results we are rather proud of.  Solid walnut counters and shelving, handmade tile, bronze-toned accoutrements, simple but vivid lighting fixtures, warm grey appliances and great natural light. What a riot...well, a calm riot.

Of Note — Wood counters with a sink?  Yes!  A bit more maintenance perhaps than the usual stone/fake stone options...but will enkindle a warmth that can't be matched.  Remember, some of the best pleasure boats in the world are fashioned in wood.  Also, the distinguished tile shapes and luxury level fixtures and hardware gleam like old-world elegance.
