Star Cabinet Built-Ins & Dining Room Project

Kristine Mullaney Design, Sketch of Dining Room & Custom Built-Ins

1930's German industrial cabinet

This unusual German cabinet, was my inspiration piece for the built-ins designed for this dining room.

A glimpse of the built-ins, in the Dining Room we recently completed in Brookline.

As you can see, the paint color in the room changed (*from the sketch phase) to a very deep eggplant color. We silver leafed the ceiling...how glam is this? Details (not in photo) The table is a refinished antique, the chairs are upholstered with nail-head detail, a gorgeous transitional custom rug and a huge crystal dripping chandelier.

This is one side of the built-ins, with the star cabinet concept, which has been applied by our very talented faux painter. Can't wait to get the final photos of this project/home - it is fabulous!

Hallway Renovation

In March, KMD is excited for the demo/renovation of this hallway below. The design concept I choose for the floors, is above (*obviously on a smaller scale.) Don't you just love it!

The area you can't see below, because I am standing in it taking the iphone photo, is the front door area (about 12 x 12) is being turned into a very stylish and functional mudroom. The built-ins are finished in a high-gloss black, shaker style cabinets - top to bottom (with over 10 feet ceilings.) It's going to be so AMAZING, dying to share this entire project of this historical home, once it's complete! It's been a project I have been working on for awhile and all the rooms I designed are modern classics!

In the meantime, I thought I would share the before pics and another element in the space.

Hallway before...

Recently restored staircase, (which you can't really see in my iphone pic) I had finished in a high-gloss black (about 6 coats I believe), then BM - decorators white.

Cabinet I designed for foyer, below.

Here is the Faux Bamboo Cabinet drawing I designed for the foyer (*in progress pic below, being built by my very talented furniture craftsman.) This cabinet will sit under the staircase, and is being finished in a true Tiffany blue - I literally gave the finisher a Tiffany box and asked him to match it!

Finish...for Cabinet

Cabinet at workshop, waiting for hardware...

Just waiting for the hardware to roll in for this piece, then the faux bamboo gets applied, the piece get's finished, then place in the new gorgeous hallway and Voila!

Hardware for Cabinet

In the Works

One of my clients, has very modern taste. Here are some 3D auto cad images of his living room and eating area. What do you think? I love the Phillip Jeffries, neutral/whites accent wall, it has little hints and glimmers of silver.
