Natural and Industrial Kitchen

Color Splash with David Bromstad

David: There we are.

Patty: Hi.

David: How are you?

Patty: Good.

David: This is a cool kitchen. Tell me what you love and what you hate about it?

Patty: I absolutely love like industrial natural stuff obviously it’s a law so I have
concrete floors. I don’t like the pink and gray granite counters. I have a
very dear friend who works with concrete.

David: Really.

Patty: Yes and he has offered to come in and do my counters for me.

David: Fantastic.

Patty: I think what he knows and your design. It would just be phenomenal. I
love my appliances I could use some improvement with my block here.

David: Bigger, smaller.

Patty: I would like it bigger.

David: You have the room to go far out here, huge island, more spaces for
entertaining, more spaces for everything.

Patty: I would like things to be a little bit more permanent.

David: Right so make it look like an installed kitchen because right now it looks
like a kitchen that has been pieced together.

Patty: Yes.

David: Here and there over time and that’s not the look we want to go for.

Patty: I know.

David: As far as style like cabinets do we like traditional or do we like more
modern.

Patty: I don’t like traditional at all. I love the frost glass.

David: You want to stick with your old mutual colors or.

Patty: I’m pretty much like I love deep rich colors you know red.

David: Are we tackling this area over here as well?

Patty: We are because I think it actually you know it’s part of the kitchen.

David: My first impression of Patty’s kitchen/lobby is fantastic. I love the
architectural details, the great high ceilings that’s sloped on one side but
the kitchen itself looks like a mismatch of cabinets that were collected
over time and then shoved on the wall.

First thing I know for sure is that we want to rip out the cabinet start
completely fresh and do a nice clean bank of cabinets to go all the way
from the refrigerator to the door. One other request that Patty made was
that she wanted wood cabinets but I want to give her another option and I
know that she loves, loves red and what’s more fitting for a kitchen or
dining space than red. It stimulates appetite, it stimulates conversation and
it’s just one hot color.

What I want to do is clean up the space and I want to make it very simple
and I want it really look loft like and way to do that is to paint everything
white.

What are you expecting?

Patty: I’m expecting awesome, amazing you in the kitchen.

David: I’ll be there. Check it out.

Patty: Oh my God this is hot.

David: The concrete countertops are fantastic.

Patty: Nick is off the hook.

David: Nick is off the hook and the island it’s fantastic look at the great shape that
he did.

Patty: I said I wasn’t going to cry but I love it. I got my table.

David: Of course.

Patty: Okay I know I have nice lips but did you have to paint them that big on
the walls.

David: Yes I did honey. Yes I did. Honey, yes I did.

Patty: The light fixtures. What the hell those look like my old cabinets?

David: It’s exactly what they are.

Patty: The back splash. It adds a little sparkle.

David: It’s feminine reflects a ton of light that really goes well with those frosted
glass cabinets. Danielle did such a great job on those cabinets they used to
be she painted with a high locker gloss which gives it a really rich feel.

Patty: I’m very happy.
