The Challenge
To update this 2003 Country Club style Kitchen and Family Room to a more family friendly,
interactive design. The homeowner also wanted more light, with views to their outdoor living
Space.
The Vision
To utilize more natural finishes and modern fixtures in the kitchen, and to open up the space,
allowing the kitchen to flow into the adjacent hearth room, updating finishes, furniture and
window coverings, with the goal of bridging the interior and exterior spaces.
The Solution
Working with the homeowners vision, Eric Bosco and Bobbi Jo offered suggestions for design
revisions, updated finishes and functionalities to better suit the homeowner’s busy lifestyle.
The Results
Eric and Bobbi Jo worked with the homeowner to incorporate more modern finishes, while
embracing timeless style. Moving from bar height to a standard countertop height made a
surprising difference in form and function and provided a more open, casual feel to the space.
Eric exchanged maple cabinetry, granite countertops and a natural backsplash for stained
Knotty Alder lower and painted upper cabinets, Quartzite countertops and handcrafted
backsplash. Bobbi Jo replaced the outdated faux wood blinds with Hunter Douglas motorized
window shades. The new window covering design brings the outdoors in, while offering added
convenience.
The result is a kitchen that offers elegance and sophistication, while providing a more family
friendly interactive experience at the heart of the home. Bobbi Jo finished off the rest of the main
level with custom roman shades, highlighting Schumacher Fabrics.
