I love capturing images for Jodie
Rosen of Jodie
Rosen Design. She always wows me by presenting
something unique in her interior design. This time the WOW was the stainless
steel tile! I had never seen
stainless steel tiles before. But I
now see it is being used more and more frequently. When I asked Jodie about it, she told me the
stainless steel mosaic tiles are a relatively new material for her as well. She
loves how durable they are for a kitchen backsplash. She says, “it’s a super sleek look with a high
level of reflection, which is a nice bonus for such a dark colored
material. In this kitchen, it provided a great backdrop for the
‘statement’ stone used on the countertop and waterfall edge of the island”.
Another
great aspect of this interior is the stone fireplace, which, Jodie tells me
is called Erthcoverings
(that’s the right spelling, not a typo!). She continues, “It is a random installation which is
done with love by the guys onsite. The result is a more modern take on
the ever-present split face slate frequently found on fireplaces.” She says she loves how it quietly makes
an impact in the space without fighting with the kitchen.
Finally,
I learned a new design term. The cabinetry is considered transitional in style, Jodie tells me “It’s a classic shaker panel
but the profile is a little more clean than a traditional shaker. It
warms up the white painted finish – this house is a really nice mix of modern
without feeling too stark and sleek.”
She
is right about that. Even though this was a new build, and thus empty, it still
had a very warm and welcoming feeling. Both of us felt that the new owners
would be very happy here for a long long time.
