Memorable Touches

Fresh Flooring
Out went the dated tile, and in went new walnut floors. "The natural color keeps it light and airy—not too heavy or serious. It works well with all the other colors we used," says Amie.

Bold Color
Lynn had always wanted aqua cabinets because they remind her of her grandmother's 1950s furniture. Amie found the ideal shade in Benjamin Moore's Kensington Green. White walls, Absolute Black granite countertops, and white marble on the island balance the strong color.

Cool Stock Cabinetry
Cabinetry offers this chic door style—an unexpected Shaker-style front with bamboo trim. Amie says, "The bamboo is a mid-century motif and adds the perfect detail."
