Golden brass toe kicks are just one of the many design details that make this kitchen feel grand, glamorous… and relaxed at the same time. (Here’s another outstanding kitchen with metallic toe kicks). Additional details that I love include the oversized skylight, fireplace oven, and double fridges with heavy brass handles. The dark, herringbone wood floors, marble counters with waterfall edges, and unlacquered campaign-style gold hardware are also divine. I believe it is the glossy white ceiling-height subway tiles, chunky open shelving, and full-height distressed wood pantry doors, however, that cement the chic European look.

The contrast between the glossy white and matte grey concrete finishes, the clean and simple shower glass panel, and the polished chrome fixtures make this a stylish, and spacious-feeling master bathroom. There would be little reason to ever venture to a spa with a master bath this crisp, light, and airy.
