Kitchens Galore!!!!


They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will show more pictures than words.....
these are all kitchens, that I have done from the ground up...every surface, color, fixture, and accessory.
"Form Follows Function"....this oven/fireplace can be a working fireplace, or a warming oven...keep in mind, this was in Wisconsin...where it truly is needed and appreciated!

My clients wanted an orange kitchen, and they got it. I believe it's not about my style, but what the client wants...I am just there to facilitate their dreams.
Sleek and sophisticatead...this kitchen is one of my favorites......black galaxy counters on the perimeter...I like doing one color counter surface on an island, and doing the perimeter in another.

I designed this space for a kitchen and bath showroom....Yes, it is an Egyptian Kitchen...(all the other themes were taken...I kept the surfaces neutral, and the cabinets a bit traditional...but you will see that the accessories made the theme...a client would be able to change it out, if they tired of it


Sub-Zero and Wolfe are based out of Madison, WI, and now, are the "standard" hi-end appliances throughout the country. This kitchen is a mixture of sleek, stainless steel, combined with a "shot" of wallcovering, that doesn't overpower the space.
I had two clients, who both were professional hockey players, who spent eight months out of the year in Switzerland...the wives made a few trips back-and-forth, but a great deal of time was spent emailing, and lot's of telephone calls.
The above kitchen reflects the client's penchant for natural woods, neutral tones, and lots of space.
The other "hockey couple" opted to be able to display many of the items they picked up on holiday in Europe...and were drawn toward brighter, warmer tones.
So, these are not "all my kitchens"...perhaps, I will do another segment down the road apiece....
Here in Texas, outdoor kitchens are very popular...along with outdoor cooling, misting systems, open hearths, and big screen tvs...Texans always go big!!!
