For River Creek No. 2, LBW Studio packed a small kitchen with personality. A stainless steel range hood with mixed gold and brass accents is the first thing you notice, with white scalloped tile behind the stove adding quiet texture and penny tile behind the bar she designed. A custom Roman shade with a crisp navy Greek key border plays off blue and white stools, brass hardware, and a white-and-gold French country range with vintage-inspired solid brass knobs. Jewelry-like cone pendants over the island cast a warm glow, the lighting carefully considered to give the small space real atmosphere. The adjoining dining room leans natural, with a lightweight statement chandelier in soft cream, natural woven-back chairs mixed with skirted dining chairs, and blue-and-white art for a pop.
