A woman with four grown sons was ready for a revived look in her home and wanted a more unified family room and kitchen. The new design started with smart space planning to make the home feel more open and connected to the outdoors. The oil-rubbed bronze hardware on the white Craftsman-style cabinetry is echoed in the classic pendant lights. Granite countertops with a leather finish add warm texture and enduring elegance. The subway tile backsplash in warm mocha, designed to cover the entire wall from countertop to ceiling, adds sparkle. A bistro style table placed in front of glass doors is an ideal space for morning coffee or intimate meals. The space is now fresh and timeless with a lovely view of a backyard blooming with fruit trees.
