White marble kitchen

When one very sweet couple finally bought the house down the street from us, we rejoiced! Scott & I had imagined the make-over on this house for years, and we were so glad to finally be a part of it!
Our connection to the house was deep; not only was it on our street (and had sat empty and neglected for years), but it was the original house created by the couple who had eventually built #20 Woodlawn, the house we now lived in.

The kitchen is long and narrow; without the appropriate design choices, it would feel dark and cramped. Thankfully, our clients had chosen clean, white cabinets. White marble countertops and backsplash would keep with the theme, but hazy gray veins in the marble add just the right amount of color.

Laying individual marble 12x12" tiles was a pain-staking job, but Scott revels in the details--especially when it comes to tile!

 

 

While they had us there, we added a screened in porch.

After a concrete floor was added off the side of the house,

we framed up the walls and installed screening that allowed for plenty

of visibility into the lush, green yard.
