I’ve recently had the pleasure of designing a spacious Tuscan-style dream home, complete with a grand staircase, a two-story library and two gorgeous kitchens. Two kitchens! I am in Interior Designer Heaven. Now that the home is completed, it is time that I come down from Could 9 and share the “after” pics with you!

A project of this scale and detail cannot be served in one scoop, so I will be sharing bite-sized pieces and side dishes of this home over the coming weeks. Don’t miss out on our new projects—sign up to read our monthly summaries here.

While planning the lower level living space for this spacious Tuscan-style home, our client envisioned a kitchen with curves on both sides. While the kitchen is usually the heart of the home, this kitchen is the heart of the entire lower level. With seating on each side of the curved countertops and enough space for more than one cook, this kitchen is ready to entertain.

The island centers the space; the rich colors, the flickers of glitter, and the swirls of clear quartz in the granite are highlighted from above with an oil rubbed bronze chandelier. The exotic granite is strikingly beautiful and lends a sensation of movement across the curved countertops.

The backsplash was created with imported Italian ceramic tiles and enhanced with earth-colored glass accent tiles, pairing perfectly with the off-white glazed cabinets with brown undertones. The pendant lighting, the accent pieces and the tile design above the stove add interest and class to this outstanding kitchen design by Design Connection, Inc.

The tile design above the stove centers this space and delicately embellishes the imported Italian tiled backsplash that flows throughout this open lower level kitchen.

Watching all of the ideas, the colors and the details of my designs come to life is always such an amazing experience, one that I am honored to share with my clients.
