Rainbow Project

The finished staircase with light wood treads, white risers, wood newel posts and black metal spindles.
We turned this dark and outdated kitchen into a modern eclectic chef’s dream.

This kitchen has loads of personality with patterned tiles, matte sage cabinets, and earth-toned floors. The stainless steel appliances, including the built-in oven combo and induction cooktop, create an ultra-sleek look. The result is a space that exudes the polished elegance reminiscent of an interior design magazine feature.
