Volume 35: August
Happy summer!
Isn’t August the best month? A perfect blend of the leisurely mindset of summer with the anticipation of back to school time. Sunshine calls for beach days and dinners al fresco. At Kirk Riley Design we are enjoying late summer days around the pool and visits with family and friends. Above is a picture from Roxann's (our business manager) recent vacation to Newport, RI to tour the Gilded Age mansions. I was fortunate to have visited as well some years ago and highly recommend it if you find yourself on the east coast. Would you like to officially meet our team?

We’ve also been working on some colorful projects. Check out our Instagram for sneak peeks!
Bathroom of the Week
We are honored to share that one of our Seattle bathroom remodels was chosen as a Bathroom of the Week on Houzz! This bathroom showcases a combination of beautiful materials installed by skilled contractors and tradespeople.
With our project, "Wash The Blues Away," we were inspired by the vintage Tudor home and the client’s personal classic style. Standout elements that highlight vintage charm are our use of marble including the baseboards, antique inspired hardware, and textured wallpaper. Varying shades of blue were used in the painted inset cabinetry, strie wallpaper, and printed marble tile on the back wall. We also used a mix of finishes including the oil-rubbed bronze light fixtures and cabinet hardware along with brushed nickel plumbing fixtures.
The Pittock Double Sconces above each vanity mirror are focal points in the space, providing both illumination and charm. Their elegant curves and historic-inspired design enhance the overall ambiance. Pairing them with beautifully crafted Rigdon knobs and pulls creates a cohesive vintage aesthetic. We love sourcing modern reproductions that pay homage to classic design.
Now get out there an enjoy the sunshine!
