By Danielle Bates Design
Danielle Bates Design was contracted to complete a full house renovation which included a new footprint for kitchen and scullery, new bathrooms and a restructure of the top floor to considerably increase the size of the master ensuite along with new dressing rooms and guest bathroom.
Danielle Bates Design restructured the lower level also, to make the kitchen, dining and living room more open planned. New exterior doors were installed along the front of the house to enhance the indoor outdoor flow. The kitchen was relocated and now features a scullery that can be closed off with an oak door that allows for a seamless back of kitchen. New timber floors were overlaid.
Danielle Bates Design signature is a mix of stone, metal and timber in a timeless and elegant way. In this project the combination of Calacatta Verde, brushed brass and pale oak provided the foundation for the kitchen design. A completely new furniture package was also included. Danielle Bates Design liaised with the building team, cabinet makers and stone masons to implement these plans.
