      If you don't mind me asking: is there any purpose for that gap over the hood cover?
      Apart from the function on the kitchens designed by your team I also appreciate a lot the storage and built-in divisions inside the drawers, cupboards, etc.

    I adore Olivia Botrie’s designs and will watch any video of her work. The reeded wood island combined with the green periphery cabinets was visually compelling, especially with the juxtaposed countertops. I also appreciate how she mixes styles, e.g., the mid-century modern lighting with the more traditional features of an historical home. In fact, given the state the house was in after being a rental made this project more of a restoration than simply a renovation. The hidden basement door was absolutely inspired! Who doesn’t want secret doors?! I would seriously watch hours of the full process and the design decisions made along the way, a la Sarah Richardson’s series. Please consider it!

      Careful!!! I have symptoms from mold exposure and attended an online mold summit. NEVER do wallpaper EXCEPT on south facing EXTERIOR walls ONLY. Now if one lives in the desert , those rules probably do not apply. But mold can be invisible. Do you really want your whole family and pets exposed? The most toxic air we breathe , is in our homes. Unfortunately , decorators have not got the memo yet regarding how mold laden wallpaper is.
