GOLDEN GROVE

Palm Springs, California

Golden Grove is a whole-home project in Palm Springs built around bold color, natural texture, and finishes that feel collected rather than curated.

I kept the original cabinetry in this kitchen and had it painted rather than replaced. There was nothing wrong with the layout, so it made more sense to work with what was already there.

To bring in some texture, we added fluted walnut wood paneling, which plays off the quartz and the warmer metals throughout the space. The heritage brass hardware really tied in perfectly with the burgundy cabinetry, providing warmth without too much shine.

The red backsplash was a fun addition to the kitchenette in the casita, a little pop of color that felt right for Palm Springs.

In the primary bath, I mixed two different tile types for a more random, collected look with the floral pattern, rather than laying everything out in a strict grid. Travertine floors ground the space and keep it from feeling too busy.
