Studio Connolly

We completely transformed the main floor of this charming, two-story home in the Curtis Park neighborhood of Sacramento. These clients approached us after a major leak had forced them to demolish their kitchen several months prior. So we got right to work coming up with a new, more functional kitchen layout, with a better flow into the living and dining area. 

Vibrant, green cabinets and gold hardware stand out against the neutral but highly textured backsplash tiles in the kitchen. Wood floors and solid wood accent furniture bring warmth to the space. And patterned area rugs and throw pillows add personality and an extra layer of coziness.

With sustainability always front of mind, we opted for an energy-efficient induction cooktop in the kitchen and an electric fireplace insert in the living room. The hand-painted fireplace tiles from (a certified B Corporation) create a stunning focal point for the room.

We brought in some of the client’s existing artwork, including a unique pair of koa wood paddles, and added some additional art pieces that nod to the client’s Hawaiian heritage. The series of 3 art pieces in the kitchen are a particular favorite, created by an artist in Hawaii. To finish off the space, we styled the shelves and tabletops using plants and some of the client’s meditation sculptures.

I know I post a version of this view almost every year, but I just love these cute little trees! I’m big on re-using decorations as long as possible. Happy holiday season! 🎄

Turns out, if I want to do a Color of the Year post, I can literally pick an image from more than half of my projects. (If you missed it, Pantone’s color of the year is Cloud Dancer…which is just white with a fancy name…)

Anyway, here’s a white room I designed in 2019, which was apparently YEARS ahead of its time. 😂
