Cara Loren’s Modern Mediterranean | Kitchen Reveal
Hey babes! Some Friday’s are just better than others… and today is one of those days. We are so excited to share the full reveal of Cara Loren’s basement project we have been designing with her over the past year. The first space we are showcasing is her basement kitchen – and it is competing hard to be my favorite space we’ve designed yet.
One of the thing’s I loved most about designing a space for Cara is that she was always open to pushing design boundaries, requested color on color, and has the most unique and awesome personal style that transitioned perfectly into the design vision we captured for her home. For her kitchen, we had enough space that we decided to make it a fully functioning kitchen. It is definitely not your typical “basement” kitchen – and that’s what we love about it the most.
Cara wanted the space to be fun and unique, but most importantly livable and to have an understated effortless vibe. We captured some of her favorite design styles through bringing in patterned cement tiles that we brought in on the back of the kitchen island, and added a touch of drama by bringing the quartz counter-top into a waterfall edge all the way down to the herringbone floor. We added old world charm by tiling the back wall with hand-made black subway tiles, and gave it a fun edge with layering in some glam gold open shelves.
For this project, we partnered with All Modern to source items for Cara’s basement renovation. This was the first time we had used All Modern to source materials such as tile and plumbing fixtures for a design project, and they have now became one of my go-to sources when selecting affordable and good quality materials. They have a great variety, and it is super convenient to shop for a lot of different items all in one place.
