Glazed oak cabinet with LED lights painted in Farrow & Ball Chappell Green maximise the space by making the most of the high ceilings. The unified colour also creates a more spacious feeling. Pine table with chapel chair hint at the origins of the house as an old chapel with the limestone flooring adding to the rustic feel.

Lovely sunny large kitchen with two paint colours and oak island unit. The worktop is Corian and overhangs enough to be used as a breakfast bar. Sleek and modern but in keeping with a beautiful period home.

It was our incredible honor to be selected to stage this 14,000 square foot, new construction mansion on beautiful Mercer Island. We complimented the fine craftmanship of the home with high end furnishings, art, and accessories. Photography by Michael Wamsley

A Seamless Integration of the kitchen the dining room The semi-open kitchen with a sliding-glass panel offers the flexibility to extend the kitchen into the dining area, offering a more spacious party area to entertain friends and family. One can enjoy the view of lush greenery whether cooking or dining. The kitchen countertop serves as a spacious worktop, while creating a perfect bar area to enjoy a drink or two. Simply close the sliding glass to seal off the kitchen. Simple yet stylish bar stools add to the modernity of the kitchen area and create a perfect bar table for enjoyment. Lighting plays an important part to enhance the overall ambience. Ceiling light troughs create a visual illusion of a higher ceiling, while light troughs above the countertop serves as a practical task light for food preparation.
