A unique kitchen designed by Dianne Davant and Associates with a color palette inspired by the homeowner’s vivid and bright gardens.

This kitchen’s unusual octagonal tray ceiling, painted in Sherwin-Williams’ blooming “Redbud,” is rather like a chic stop sign: “Wait. Look. Anything is possible.” Vanguard spring-green chairs surround the central island, a unique piece with a white granite top. Trundle-like, a four-legged table is recessed within the island workspace and can be extended for casual eating or just hanging out.
“The family likes to sit around and talk in that area,” notes head designer Pam McKay. “It’s a central gathering space.” Owner Katie Loeb-Schwab, who, with her husband Mark Schwab, lives in the home May through October, confirms that her visiting grown children, grandchildren, and other guests “absolutely gravitate” to the island/bar.
