NOB HILL JEWEL BOX

While this petite home’s kitchen was in technically working shape, it felt dark and outdated. The impossibly chic couple who own the home lived with it a few years before deciding to update their kitchen and dining space to better suit their Dorothy-Draper-meets-Tom-Ford style (we also redecorated their living space in vivid Barbie pink).

Given the kitchen's small footprint, we were able to select luxurious finishes like the marble herringbone backsplash and Calacatta marble countertops, and we could go bold with graphic black & white stripes, making for a space that's light, dramatic, and a reflection of its dwellers' point of view. Later that year, we returned to revamp the teeny under-50-square-feet living room to match the electricity of the adjoining kitchen.
