Budget Friendly Navy & Brass Kitchen

Completed 2014. This is a south Austin kitchen for a stylish homeowner, meant to look high-end but on a modest budget.  We used IKEA cabinets but painted them navy Sherwin Williams Naval SW 6224.  We opened up the kitchen to the living room without sacrificing a TV wall or having to engineer a downdraft vent system (as would be the case with a stove positioned in the island).  The brass details make all the difference.  We even handmade a brass fixture for over the breakfast table that wasn't installed at the time of photographs. The homeowner complimented the look with their great style and furniture choices!  The living, dining, and kitchen area feel light, bright, energized, and fresh.
