“This kitchen was designed for a professional couple
who purchased a 20-year-old home and renovated it to suit their
tastes and lifestyle. For the kitchen, as for the rest of the house,
they wanted bold colors. The couple has an incredible art and glass
collection in bright colors and had a number of pieces of furniture
and accessories that were the basis of a green and gold color
scheme. As the new home is very open they wanted to carry this
through, so a strong golden color stain on maple was selected for
the central working section of the kitchen.

A softer green stain on maple was used in the perimeter cabinets in
the butler's pantry, the bar and the dining room. We didn’t want a
super strong yellow and a super strong green, so we used a sage
green that lets the yellow provide the “pow!” The cabinets were
complemented by very dark emerald green granite that has some gold
flecks in it. The floor’s warm tone picks up on the gold of the
wood. The space is surprisingly inviting, not the least bit
intimidating, and reflects the couple's love of color and their
exuberant approach to life.”
