LMI for Cache Interiors

Featured in Carolina Home and Garden

Last year we were lucky enough to travel to Asheville North Carolina with designer Joan Hurson of Cache Interiors. This year the amazing kitchen she designed was featured in Carolina Home and Garden Magazine!  Read the article below:

Classic styling need not be staid or stodgy. This Waynesville kitchen, designed by Joan Hurson of Cachet Interiors and executed by Grove Park Fine Homes, is a delicious mix of formal and casual elements, creating a space that is both refined and relaxed.

Fine finishes abound on the custom cabinetry crafted by Rick Baynard. The French Traditional style cabinetry at the perimeter was painted to match the wall color, given a butter glaze and accented with café brown, while the island — trimmed with decorative brackets and medallions from Decorator’s Supply —  received a highly-customized, multi-layer glaze and a coat of rich lacquer. Oil rubbed bronze hardware adds the crowning touch.

The bespoke tile backsplashes are tumbled travertine, accented with Canyon Red and delineated by mini–pencil borders. Appliances are low-key, but high-end: the Dacor cooktop and convection ovens are tucked neatly into the island, while a Liebherr double refrigerator is concealed behind integrated panel doors. Countertops of Sahara Gold granite are perfectly complemented by the rich tones of a Blanco Café Brown Silgranit double sink and Grohe Bridgeford Oil Rubbed Bronze faucet.

In the sitting area, faux finisher Laura Ferrell’s artful distressing imparts a vintage, rustic flair to the pair of built-in cabinets, designed by Hurson, that flanks the window seat.

A quartet of Lorts barstools and the window seat has been dressed in a mélange of fabrics: a mossy green pin-dot pattern by F. Schumacher for the seats and a sophisticated, spicy red plaid by Brunschwig & Fils. This same cheerful check was utilized for the custom valances, which are adorned with a floral center and finished with trim from Linas Interiors.

It all blends together into a gathering place that is elegant, livable and not in the least bit stodgy.
