Living Life in Color, Long Beach
This vibrant kitchen is a celebration of color, drawing inspiration from the serene beauty of coastal landscapes. The client’s love of the sea is reflected in every detail, with a palette that evokes the soft blues and greens of ocean waters, the creamy tones of sandy shores, and the deep matte black of wet shoreline rocks. The design beautifully captures the essence of the coast, while also incorporating a nod to the client’s love of Charleston, South Carolina. The delicate crystal chandeliers, reminiscent of those found in historic Charleston homes, add a timeless elegance to the space.
At the heart of the kitchen is a stunning La Cornue CornuFé Range from France, in a captivating Roquefort blue that serves as the focal point. Surrounding it, a pale blue backsplash tile with an embossed motif introduces a touch of European charm and sophistication. The countertops, crafted from CAMBRIA quartz, seamlessly blend hues of pale blue, green, and cream with a subtle shimmer, further enhancing the coastal vibe. Designed with abundant storage features, this kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful—a perfect embodiment of the homeowner’s passion for color and coastal style.
Client Testimonial:
“Based on the referral from a very dear friend, we contacted Cris Roberto to discuss the possibility of her assisting us with the renovation of our old kitchen. Based on that phone call, we “hired” Cris and are so very grateful, and feel fortunate, that we did. From that initial phone call until the completion of our beautiful, renovated kitchen, her professionalism, creativity, ideas and recommendations were first class. She consistently displayed excellent listening skills, responded in a timely manner to our calls, and showed compassion with any concerns we had about our ideas and the kind of kitchen we envisioned. Her vision for our kitchen was remarkable - we never thought of our kitchen space in the way she did, and we trusted her vision and she delivered.
We now have a kitchen that is not only beautiful but a sheer delight to work in – whether we are cooking or cleaning. From the cabinets, backsplash and countertop colors that were matched to the stove we chose as our kitchen “centerpiece”, to the windows, door and lighting – she made it all work together to create a very roomy, elegant-yet casual, productive and “happy” kitchen. Everyone that enters our kitchen is amazed at how beautiful and efficient it looks. Not only was Cris extremely professional and helpful, but so were the vendors that she took us to, along with the contractor and sub-contractors that she chose.
Another very important note is that the appliances and materials were delivered and installed on time and, most importantly, the final project – our new kitchen - was delivered as scheduled. We couldn’t be more pleased with our kitchen and are so very, very grateful that we met and had the opportunity to work with Cris.”
