More so than comfortable living rooms or serene bed rooms, kitchens and bathrooms are the jewels of a home - a place where an architect or designer can make things really sparkle. Maybe with the choice of glimmering tile, some brass inlay in the concrete countertop, an eye-catching sink, or a scintillating light fixture.

Lucky for me, my interior architect client Kirsti Wolfe is an unmatched talent at putting ever so slight touches of architectural bling into a home, and she consistently applies her touch and unique sense of aesthetics to every one of her projects. Then I get to go in afterwards, admire them slack-jawed, and point my camera at it all.



Recently, Wolf and Sub-Zero - makers of high-end kitchen appliances -
staged a contest for best kitchen design. Kirsti and I were feverishly shooting projects for submission - and not surprisingly, Kirsti emerged as Regional Winner!

The project that convinced the judges was no other than the kitchen she designed for her own parents, also featured in Bend Living Magazine (shot and written by yours truly) last year:







So congrats to Kirsti for her stunning work, and also to her entire crew for putting it together so seamlessly and beautifully.

It appears bling pays.
