Blogger and designer, Rachel Halvorson has been on our radar for a little while now and every time we see a new project of hers, we can’t help but love what we see. Rachel’s young traditional style features a fabulous mix of classic design elements that will never go out of style (think subway tile and carrara marble) and “of the moment” ideas such as contrasting cabinets, as pictured above. Rachel’s synonymous design firm’s website and portfolio should be live soon, but in the meantime, we’ve found plenty of inspiration from the client projects she posts on her blog, Nest Egg.
This kitchen is a recent remodel and the contrast between the before and after is simply stunning. The space went from dated and awkwardly planned to classic with a touch of glamour. Pairing white cabinets with slate-colored lower cabinets feels decidedly modern. Our Soleil Semi-Flush Mounts by Suzanne Kasler and Boston Pendants in Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass act as the jewelry in the room!
We love the contrast between the cool color palette and the warm finish of the lighting and hardware.
This breakfast room, also designed by Rachel Halvorson features the Vendome Large Chandelier by Thomas O’Brien for Visual Comfort & Co. in Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass.
Just the other day, Rachel posted this sneak peek of a kitchen she recently designed. We can’t wait to see more. We love that she took subway tile to the next level—check out the range hood! The grey cabinetry and wood countertop are also points of interest. Naturally, we can’t forget about the Extra Large Hicks Pendant by Thomas O’Brien for Visual Comfort & Co. hanging over the stylish island!
