This lakefront home had a kitchen and breakfast room that needed a facelift from its dated 1990s-era appear enter this fresh, airy therapy by Carla Aston Design and style Studio. As the designer explains, “Glossy little tile, dated wall covering and window therapies, tired cabinetry, [and] mauve strong surface counters and splash have been out.” And, of course, the redo presented a couple of challenges: the backsplash had awkwardly placed outlets and switches, solved by adding colour to camouflage ones that couldn’t be very easily moved to lessen possible visual “clutter.” To complement the owner’s dark granite, Aston added fascinating detailing — legs and paneling on the island, and brackets and seed glass panels to some upper cabinets. The designer even reused and reupholstered existing furniture, like repainting bar stools!
The corner fireplace was subsequent — a function that was a bit “lost in the shuffle” until it was covered in floor-to-ceiling travertine and became, as Ms. Aston calls it, a “star.” Neutral marble in the shower, with clear glass doors, could have made for a ho-hum impact — except for that nice black-and-white tile accent in the middle of the back wall. 2 high windows supply lots of all-natural light in the bath, although a third window more than the deep tub is discreetly shaded. The true “star” of this residence, however, is its lovely view, which was highlighted with added skilled use of color on window frames and curtains that don’t get in the way. The outcome? The homeowner was so pleased that she hired Carla Aston Design to do much more operate on her home at a later date!
