I shared this kitchen months ago on Instagram but it deserves it’s own forever space on our website. These clients are the coolest. They love dogs, love to entertain and live life to the fullest.

My client’s kitchen inspirations can come from many different things.

Melamine cabinets- How did this ever get to be a “thing”? Our last house was built in 1996 and had the bright white plastic-y melamine or thermafoil cabinets.
