Olive and Terra Cotta Kitchen

“In this kitchen with the similarly toned
elements—the maple cabinetry and antique French terra cotta
floors—definition comes from the walls. The soothing white counters
are made of Eurostone, which has embedded seashells in it; the gold
nuggets coordinate with the cabinets, emphasizing warmth. Green
gives the kitchen punch. Though it was built monochromatically, the
backsplash is composed of recycled iridescent glass tile that has
some green tonalities. We actually tried another color, more of a
sage, on the walls first, and it just didn’t do it—it looked too
wimpy. Color is very particular; changing it just a shade totally
changes the look."

in the 1920s poster offers the desired contrast. The inspiration
came from a Cole Haan shoebox; we were taken by surprise at the
stunning combination of that particular green and red, and how they
worked harmoniously with the rest of our elements. The desired
effect: A dynamic, refreshing small space.”
