This was an exciting week with the start of cabinet installation! The spaces are really taking shape and it’s now easy to imagine how the use of them will better the visitor experience. As mentioned in a previous post, our architect firm, Peter Quinn Architects, has a team of designers helping with this project. Clelia, Cassie, and myself (Asst. Director at the Museum and Interior Designer by trade) have been finalizing grout colors, tile orientation, and wall colors. Clelia and Cassie visited the site this week to review the progress. Here’s a sneak peek at the kitchen space with the new matte grey cabinets, brass hardware, backsplash tile, grout, and quartz countertop that we just selected. It all looks amazing!
