Our Home in Domino Magazine! Apkmusk

t’s here! I’m so excited that we were able to share our home renovation with you through the eyes of Domino. We’re featured in the latest issue (available on newsstands now) in Domino‘s newly designed, bigger, glossier update. I’ve devoured Domino since I was in high school and they opened up a whole new world of decor for me. I’ve been rearranging and dreaming about interiors ever since.

We’ve shared the process of renovating our home with McDonald Remodeling over the past six months. From selecting a contractor to planning our space, but we haven’t put together a post that shows all the updates we did to the house last year in one fell swoop. Domino covered almost all our projects with the exception of our basement, which will be revealing in its entirety in follow up post. Here are the images Wing Ho of Canary Grey shot of our space for Domino, along with some design commentary from yours truly.

Where to begin with this kitchen? After living here for six months post-renovation, my favorite part about this kitchen is how well it works for our lifestyle. Pictured here is a built-in fridge, from Warners’ Stellian, and a coffee nook. This used the be one of the entrances to our kitchen. Behind this wall is the foyer.

This view of our kitchen is taken from the living room. We love that this space is now big enough for us to grow into, and everything has a place and items can be easily found. This massive oak peninsula (built by Jim McDonald) works as both a prep space and a casual eating space. There used to be a wall where the peninsula currently is, and there was also an opening to the side door where the dark cabinets are now located. Because the space isn’t a perfect square, we broke it up with contrasting cabinets. We liked the idea of letting our things take center stage, because we take time and care in selecting what we bring into our home. It’s nice to have a space to show these pieces off.

Open shelving was another must-have for me. I love to cook and the idea of having all my tools readily available make this kitchen very inviting for the at-home chef. I spend most of my time here, and I’ve found that I’m a lot better at improvising and whipping up meals with whatever we have on hand. A couple of my favorite things are featured here, including these canisters from March SF, brass canisters from Schoolhouse Electric, and Danish cookware by Dansk.
