The horse whisperer

Each project we work on gives us the chance to not only provide our expertise in design and service but also to form a connection with our clients. In this project, we were fortunate enough to work with the incredibly talented homeowner Margaret. Margaret brings years of experience in home remodeling and building, with many successful houses under her belt. 

Margaret’s vision for this home required a complete remodel of the space, and the result is stunning. We are sharing images from this fantastic Issaquah, WA, project. Thank you, Margaret, for trusting us; we are happy the result is so special to you.

Margaret made a point of wanting her home to have clean surfaces that feel peaceful and calming. We chose the LEICHT SEATTLE wood laminate cabinets in the Stone Oak finish, a highly durable surface. This helps bring out the earthy tones of the room and smoothly gives the cabinets seamless lines. 

When you look at the wall behind the sink, you see fantastic wallpaper. Margaret knew she “needed some kind of focal point that is different that you don’t see anywhere else. People say two things when they come over; they love the kitchen and the wallpaper.” Being bold produces some of the best results. LEICHT SEATTLE brings WallPepper Italian brand of high-performance and beautiful art books to the NW. WallPepper (@wallpepper_group) has unique materials, such as waterproof or acoustic, that allow it to enhance any space.

“LEICHT helped me create my vision.”

“I don’t feel like living in a kitchen because everything is so beautiful.”

“The drawers open and slide in and out beautifully; everything is aligned perfectly. The hardware is really nice; it’s robust and holds the weight perfectly, no scratches; I’m pleased with the finishes.”

“I had different brands in previous homes. After a year or two, I could see the cabinet doors were misaligned, and the finishes are wearing off, but with LEICHT SEATTLE, everything is aligned; you could run a laser, and everything will be on the laser spot on.”

“The kitchen itself is absolutely amazing; everything is still perfect even years later.”

“I’ve been traveling to different states lately; every time I come back, I love this space. Everything is put together; it's quiet, simple, and eye-pleasing. I feel very comfortable and safe - that’s home. And of course, my dog, he fits into the design as well…”
