Fabulous Room Friday 12.16.11

It takes a little more to blow me away on the interior design front nowadays than it once did. After being deeply entrenched in design on a daily basis for almost five years, more and more spaces start to look alike and it takes something extra special to really knock my socks off. Well, that is exactly what happened when I spotted this incredible kitchen on my friend, Cococozy’s blog. A friend of hers sent her some photos of her newly-renovated kitchen she had designed. Inspired by Christopher Peacock, the kitchen is rooted in the design basics that have come to be considered classic markers of good taste: white cabinetry juxtaposed with dark floors, carrera marble countertops, a farm sink, and subway tile. What makes this space truly exceptional is the way in which these materials are used. The homeowner has chosen unique lighting, designed a show-stopping, brass hood for her stunning Italian-made ILVE Majestic Stove, and really played up the original windows and mouldings with high-gloss paint.

While one could say that this kitchen looks like it’s been inspired by French or English design, it feels distinctly “L.A.” to me. I fall more and more in love with the look and design scene in Los Angeles after every trip I take there. I am not sure what neighborhood this home is in, but it looks very, very “Hancock Park” to this L.A. design lover.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!
