47 michigandesign.com When longtime clients were ready to remodel the kitchen of their lakeside home, Pamela Livingston Hardy, Creative Renovations, let the homeowners’ desire for mixing contrasting elements of light and dark guide her design choices. Two cabinet finishes were selected: a rich cherry for the perimeter, and warm white for the island. The home has high, vaulted ceilings, so cabinets of varying heights were selected to accent this feature. Existing windows were replaced to enhance the view of the lake, and walls were painted a shade of green that helps bring the outside in. In the end, she achieved a functional space that sacrifices none of the rich aesthetic the clients wanted. Photos by Visions in Photography
