In the spring of 2003, I was living in sunny California and working for a fantastic interior designer who has since become like family. While working for her, we completed four successful showhouse rooms in Pasadena which led to quite a bit of media exposure for her firm.

The clients purchased this 100-year-old Craftsman for its charm and character. However, none of that was in place in their 1980s kitchen. A leak from an upstairs bathroom caused them to fast track their kitchen remodel which proved to be a big undertaking.

A touch of Palm Springs landed in the Pacific Northwest giving our client the modern amenities they desired in a kitchen with a nod and a wink to the past.
