Sightlines are always on Woodrum’s mind, so she covered a window that looks out onto the neighbor’s home with a cotton shade, then plunked two tall bronze lamps in front of it. "I love the fact that when you come down the hallway, you see these gorgeous lamps as your focal point."The spacious Sub-Zero refrigerator features custom panels so it blends beautifully with the cabinetry. A separate, smaller bar refrigerator is tucked under the counter across the room for easy access to cold drinks.
The hidden fridge sits under a counter tiled in deep blue, natural quartz Silestone. "I love this stuff. It’s harder than granite, and it looks like leather." To offset the textured matte of the Silestone, she chose a glossy ceramic in the same shade of blue for the backsplash, to bring more shine and more reflected light into the room.
Woodrum briefly considered granite countertops, but decided that granite’s busy grain would overpower the subtler aspects of the kitchen, which is painted the same latte color as the lodge room and floored in the same dark walnut. She thought fleetingly of red counters, "but that seemed too Early American," she says. "I was dealing with a lot of wood, and I’d already made a commitment to big, strong, powerful blue elsewhere in the house. Blue is a little more sophisticated, and it’s great with wood. Plus it contrasts beautifully with all of nature’s greens and browns just outside the window."
