Virtual Show House Day 6-Kitchen

By Kerrysteele @kerrysteeleart

I hope you all have enjoyed this Virtual Show House series and all of my talented contributors. I was going to stay out of things but I thought the house needed a kitchen. A virtual family has got to eat!
I chose all white not because that is trendy but because it is timeless. My first kitchen design 18 years ago was for my first house and it was mostly white. I still want that kitchen but maybe a bit more upscale.

My inspiration


The counters should be honed soapstone with chiseled edge to cut the formality. The flooring should echo the counters in color and feel.
 My kitchen changed  mid-idea and I made room for the barstools below Bar stools
The barstools are from 1stDibs and I chose the sleek mid-century design to keep it from being too traditional.
Over the arched stove niche I added art. I felt the room needed a little jolt of color and I usually opt for a fabric window covering to achieve that. The arched window over the sink is bare by choice, so the art is where the color comes in.

I chose three original paintings by Hiroshi Matsumoto.
The Etsy shop is HERE.

I chose the 4 x 4 inch abstracts beacause they are stunning and at $60 totally affordable.

The faucet I chose is a Waterworks Julia Bridge. It is not groundbreaking design just a lovely traditional touch that I am fond of.

I really wanted to mix metals so the chrome bar stools and faucets needed a foil. I found that in brass drawer pulls.

I chose long handles for the cabinets and integrated refrigerator.
