Plans for a new Montrose house for Chris Wood and Debbie Yee came with a long list of...
, a company that gathers food waste from commercial and residential clients and turns it into compost for their clients and others. Since its launch, they've diverted 2.1 million pounds of food waste from landfills.
They wanted a sizeable main living area with a large kitchen and dining room for frequent, extended-family dinners, plus a first-floor playroom that can change as their daughters age. The house's five bedrooms — all of which are upstairs — didn't need to be too big, but each has its own bathroom, since a couple of them would be guest bedrooms for out-of-town family and friends.
In the kitchen, flat-front walnut cabinets with slim finger pulls instead of bulkier hardware pair with marble counters and a marble-covered, waterfall-style island. Contreras said the Moroccan backsplash tile adds an organic, handmade effect that keeps the room from being too cold or sterile. Contreras created a color compromise in the living room, using the white and light neutrals that Wood wanted in a sectional sofa and a Womb chair then adding the color that Yee asked for in pillows, art and draperies. The space's showstopper is a gorgeous chandelier.
Because family gatherings are so frequent, the long, Scandinavian-style dining room table is always set up to accommodate 14 for dinner, with cane-back side chairs and upholstered end chairs. A visit to art studios at Sawyer Yards helped them find pieces for this room and elsewhere in the house.
