We’re finally finished with our 1970’s kitchen renovation! But as most designers know, when it comes to our own homes, are we ever really done?

This kitchen was almost original and was amazing! Bright orange countertops and funky floral wallpaper. But it was in need of a slightly better layout as the refrigerator placement made for a tight work space at the range (refrigerators were much smaller in the 70’s!).

I knew I wanted to keep in the spirit of the 1970’s with earthy colors and natural wood. We discovered that the original flooring was a black stone-look linoleum so we were definitely on the right track with the dark terrazzo-look porcelain floor tile. I found the perfect matte laminate color from for the upper cabinets and the vintage-look deep green glazed ceramic backsplash tile from looks like it was made for the space. The Vintage Iceberg countertops from contrasted the other darker finishes so beautifully.

It’s challenging renovating such a vintage space. I had so much appreciation for the original look. But it was also important to make sure the new aesthetic referenced the old without looking contrived or following too strictly to a 70’s theme…respecting the style and architecture with a modern interpretation.

And just like that, KPI is twenty years old! 🎉

What started in my basement as so many small businesses do to a large firm with multiple employees and then back to working on my own focusing on what I love…design. I am so proud of this journey that gave me a fulfilling career, provided for my family, and created so many spaces for hundreds of amazing clients.

To other small businesses owners, I get it. The long hours, sacrifice, daily challenges and commitment to taking your role seriously for the sake of your clients, contractors and vendors and working with integrity always.

And so much love and thanks to my incredible supportive husband and kids. The long vacations were few and the distractions were many…the reward of hard work hopefully evident.

Here’s to maybe not another 20 years 😬, but to continuing as long as the passion for design drives me. So much thanks to all of those who have been along for the journey!

From January to December, just a sample of my year in design. Always so thankful for my clients who allow me to design for such a wide variety of styles, understanding that good design makes any aesthetic more interesting AND functional.

And a huge thank you to all the architects, builders, contractors, tradespeople, vendors, designers and decorators with whom I’ve had the privilege to collaborate. It takes a TEAM to create a quality home and I’m so lucky to be able to work with the best!

This year is extra special because 2026 marks KPI’s 20th Anniversary! What an honor to be able to do what I love every day for so many years.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

We are about a month into having a functioning kitchen on our 70’s downsize and here are a few of my favorite things so far:

1. Layout. Having a functional layout for how YOU operate in the kitchen makes food prep so much more enjoyable. Especially for people like me who struggle to enjoy it. Even in my last kitchen where I had a large island, I still preferred to prep between my sink and my cooktop. So in this kitchen I prioritized that space placing the trash right in between to make cleanup efficient. Additional dedicated countertop spaces for a coffee station and toaster means less clutter where I’m prepping. While islands certainly serve their purpose, make sure that including one benefits your function as much as your aesthetic.

2. Induction. We finally took the leap and committed to an induction range and I am sold!! I love how fast it is and I find it cooks more evenly than our last gas cooktop. I absolutely love this range with the optional small convection oven. As empty-nesters, we do not often need to use the large oven and the smaller one heats up so quickly. Bonus for easy cleanup of the cooktop surface!

3. Sink. I have recommended this sink to so many clients and I finally have it for myself. It drains nicely without needing too much water. But my favorite feature is the roll-up drying rack! Small but impactful.

4. Color. My husband and I will never let go of our love for Walnut cabinets. This is our third kitchen that features them. But I introduced these beautiful golden matte laminate upper cabinets, ceramic lighting in terra cotta and green, ceramic tile with deep greens and gorgeous Vintage Ice quartzite from with veins of rust and orange. Color can be bright or earthy but this color combination is my personal preference and it’s repeated throughout the rest of the home.

Honorable mention to my large-scale tile floors. Love that the terrazzo look hides messes…maybe too well? Ha!

Finished just in time for the holidays! I love when a new build feels immediately like a comfortable home. Classic details, warm wood and furniture and décor by that coordinates perfectly with the design of the home. Christmas decor by our talented client!

I’m so lucky to be able to design for so many different styles and I appreciate my clients that let me take the time to really figure out their own personal aesthetic. From traditional to modern, cozy to expansive and everything in between. Good design will make any aesthetic feel effortless.
