Background: Lee is a sales and marketing executive and, co-incidentally, attended the same High School at the same time as Deborah. Deborah had done two previous kitchen designs for Lee, who in this project has asked for the kitchen to be designed even if it meant changing and creating door openings; to which end Deborah was able to work with the architects to achieve a highly successful result.
Special features: An attached kitchen table with nautical rope twist base and Meredith Iron Gate customized tiling on backsplash.

| A feaure splashback was specially requested by the client, and was incorporated in sympathy with the overall design. |

CLIENTS EYE VIEW...
"Deborah has designed kitchens for two of my homes, one very different from the other. My latest kitchen, the English Riviera, perfectly reflects the style of my English-style cottage home and my personal lifestyle.
"When I saw this layout I realized my kitchen would be perfectly-balanced and the traffic pattern through the home would be improved. My architect inserted this layout into the plans and the other improvements fell into place. The feeling of luxury I now enjoy in my home is highly-related to the kitchen design."
