I think the reason you are so able to re-evaluate, reinterpret and reimage so many elements is because you are self taught. You have always made up your own rules. At this stage, you are more like a master design chef. This one blew my mind. Love love love

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Lol - I like your analogy! I never thought of it from that perspective, but I think I'd have to agree with you 😉. Thank you for sharing!

[@doanetriggs5563]

With the initial view of the kitchen, the “energy” was perfect. Later revealed, of course it was the green! It is so refreshing to hear a designer reveal the rationale behind the design and then actually share their sources. What a privilege to learn from you. Please know that you are making such a such contribution by empowering others to achieve their dream homes. Many thanks!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you so much sharing that feedback! That's so incredibly kind!!! I'm thrilled to hear that you're learning from it all. That's why I do it 🥰

[@AlexWilliams-qf3rp]

And this is one of the reasons why she will always be a great success. She doesn't hug the credit. She's a giver, and people of that calibre, always excel. I love her soooo much. Great work as always ❤❤

[@debiseltmann7341]

The pendant lights remind me of clouds⛅️. I have always appreciated Sarah, how you not only recycle items, but using up what you have e.g. floating desk/backslash atbar/behind the stove...NO WASTE OF RESOURCES!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

You bet! I love, love, love working with anything recycled, salvaged or leftover. They tend to be the most treasured elements at the end of every project. Thanks for your support!

[@Mmaley739]

So glad you are back in the USA on streaming. This was just amazing and your ideas of making leftovers work is also amazing. Thanks

Beautiful design and concept. I will definitely use some of her ideas while I renovate my house! I have watched Sarah mature and evolve into a talented designer since I first saw her "Room Service" broadcasted on PBS about 20 years ago before she married. In one of those episodes, she designed her then-boyfriend's home. This was PT (pre-Tommy Smythe).

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you! And thanks for the trip down memory lane 😄

I'm so happy that you touched on the seam. We're putting in a 13-14' island (for a mountain chalet we actually tried to hire you for, but ironically you were doing your own mountain chalet - this one! lol) and I've been wracking my brains to figure out what to do with the seam. Love that metal shower edging band detail, too.

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Yes! It's definitely a tricky element to deal with that comes up time and time again in our industry. I'm glad you're able to pull some inspiration from it! Good luck with the project (...and a 14' island sounds AMAZING)!!! I think you're off to a great start 😉

[@TravelersWarden]

@@SarahRichardsonDsgn Thank you, that means a lot! I also have to admit I fangirled a bit when you responded. You're probably the only designer I've ever really liked and have been watching you for quite a while. I appreciate that you post here and continue to be a fabulous source of inspiration!

Sarah, I am intrigued by your tiny detailed decisions, like the brass line using current building material under the counter tops, the highlighted seams, framing the marble at the bar, using fridge cabinets differently and the island in an odd shape....just brilliant!!!! I LOVE your design decisions! As a fellow Canadian in Ontario, I will look up your detailed supply materials! I am very excited in finding your videos. THANK YOU for sharing your expertise!

Geez.

[@lovestosingalot55bodin7]

Great ideas if you have the money. I know that this is a commercial kitchen and I love what you have designed here. It is practical, colourful and matches the outdoor landscape like the trees, mountains and rivers. Very well thought out and put into practice. Kudos to you and your gift of creativity and no FEAR to try something unique. You are NOT a cookie cutter designer; you have your own ideas and you are not afraid to try something new and out of the ordinary; like I said unique. That is a good quality.

The avocado stove is wonderful! But I am intrigued by the high placement of the under-cabinet range hood. I think this could work in my low-ceiling cottage. Thanks for that tip!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you! And yes, whenever the ceilings are low, my plan is to always go up! Never hurts when you're trying to showcase a gorgeous piece of marble either 😉

[@janweyant8902]

OMG this kitchen, is probably one of my top 3 fav's overall! It's such a great example of biophilic design! Here's why: First the 3 pendant lights are so organic in shape, they look like snow drops from the ceiling, or naturally shaped river stones that have been well worked over in a strong flowing glacial river bed. And the chairs at the table? What is the source of those? I just love them. They have a beautiful curve and organic shape~! AND all of the gorgeous stone vases on the breakfast bar? I would LOVE to order these. Next, the idea of multiple gathering options which allows for a true communal space for different groupings of people. The marble backsplash with a green reflective in the color of glacial water. Finally, the INCREDIBLY beautiful marble backsplash at the bar! This is my fav. piece of marble you have ever used SR! All of this connects directly to what is outside in that environment. "Channel 1" as SR calls it. Totally inspiring! location is KING here! The kitchen feels like a tree-top kitchen! All of the gorgeous views bring nature right into the kitchen and I love that!! Biophilic to the MAX but with such style and elegance added! I JUST LOVE THIS! This is probably my top 3 kitchens by SR! Next, the unique and beautiful features and workarounds that are used in the kitchen! ith that gorgeous green element). Next, THAT RANGE! WOW! LOVE the avocado green! Next, LOVE the brass accent which is a workaround to make the counters 1.5 inches. But what an upgrade in effect!! It just ups the drama factor in the kitchen. Next, I LOVE LOVE LOVE mixing neutrals and brass and greys together. GORGEOUS. Next, I just LOVE the white racing stripe detail to highlight the construction element (which most might see as a limitation of the size of the stone but why NOT call attention to the feature by adding a unique and really cool element!). Such a great idea!! Finally, the shape of the island which is wider on one end, following the shape of the room. LOVE THIS idea! Next, that backsplash is BONKERS amazing!! WOW, I think it's my favorite element! It looks like an outline of the Whistler mountains! Whoever rents Haus Heidi is super lucky, that's for sure! Finally, the design choices, from the gorgeous cabinetry two-tone color choices (Kitch). Next, that Marble choice for the backsplash (I bet TS is happy because he finally got his dramatic backsplash, and the brass accents throughout but in combination with silver-toned (faucet on the coffee bar) and hardware selection just ups the elegance factor.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

I hesitate to be contrarian, but, the green of the range IS kinda a lot, a great deal, like the Avocado Green of the 60's. But, everything else is so different, including how the sunlight lands on us here on the planet surface, that it surely MUST be different!!

You are brilliant and adorable….thank you darling:)

How sweet! Thank you so much!

[@jeanyv9601]

How do you hide the metal tile trim where it goes around the seating end of the bar? i.e. it's not sandwiched between the lower cabinet and countertop. I particularly love your videos when you explain how you achieve the look, as you did with the floating desk, and how you approach solving problems, as you did with the marble that was too narrow. I love the end result visually, but equally, enjoy the how and the why. You are very generous with your knowledge and expertise - thank you!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Sarah, I've either forgotten (if you referenced the kitchen floor on another video entirely), or ? Somehow missed it! Do you happen to recall that floor? Marble? Tiles? I would imagine so ..

[@pamelairvin3164]

Leftovers....hmmmmm....what little scraps were left over from the round table? Anything big enough to make serving slabs or trivets??? Thank you for another lovely, soothing, exciting reveal. Blessings!

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

[@baomin60]

I so thoroughly enjoyed this video! I watched it over again. I definitely took note of the slab doors and hardware...and loved the trim idea! I loved the apr`es ski bar, also! I wish you had talked about your flooring. I noticed you have two different types of flooring in your kitchen. Interesting. What is the reason for this, may I ask?

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thank you!! I installed a stone tile carpet accent in between the cooking area and the sink/dishwashers. The rest of the kitchen features wide plank European white oak floors, but a stone pad in between the sink and the oven ensures that the floors don’t get damaged with the mess generated by cooking and cleaning up.

[@ginakhonje825]

I'm curious about how the lighting performs at night. I hate a lot of recessed lighting breaking up a ceiling but it feels necessary for after dark food prep. There doesn't seem to be anything over the breakfast table and with no upper cabinets, no under counter lighting. Sarah likes to cook, so she would think about this. How does it work??

[@benkeith3]

It's a great rental kitchen. The lower cupboards the boxes appear to be a shade darker than the doors???? I was interested in your discussion on oil from your hands on surfaces. What is a cleaner that removes that oil and does not hurt the finish? I will forever balk at a lovely banquette with a table that does not reach the entire thing. Even if I am just hanging, while other's worked, I would probalby have a cup of something and want a table to set it on. A table for four in a space that sleeps so many is very frustrating for the renters--ask me how I know!!!!?

[@SarahRichardsonDsgn]

Thanks for tuning in! I think you'll be pleased when we show more of the dining area on the opposite side of the kitchen wall - plenty of good seats available! A quick Google search should be able to help you find the best product for removing oil...just be certain you know the material you're applying the product to, as you never want to damage the finish. Good luck!
