ASID Heartland Design GOLD Award for Large Residential Single Family Home

While all of my interior design projects are created to suit each individual client, every now and then I come across a whole-home project that truly defines the term “custom built”. This Tuscan-inspired Kansas City home features two kitchens, a grand staircase, two offices, a 30′ brick barrel ceiling, and ornate, intricate details throughout.

ASID Heartland Design GOLD Award for Residential Kitchen

 Having recently moved to the Kansas City area from San Francisco, my clients traded their apartment-sized city condo for a spacious Leawood home. The traditional style of their home was outdated and did not at all reflect their metropolitan style and contemporary taste. A whole-home update was in order–starting with the kitchen!

ASID Heartland Design SILVER Award for Residential Bathroom

This basic builder grade bathroom was a great size and it worked well for my clients, but it was not the relaxing space they longed for. Their master bathroom wish-list contained my favorite elements; spacious and elegant with a timeless, classic style. How did I do it? Click the pics to find out!
