“I wanted to bring warmth into the space to balance out the white cabinetry and marble,” says Loomis, who chose cerused oak for the island. The KDW team pulled it over to a new bar area between the kitchen and family room. Decorative mesh panels give the bar cabinet intentional style.

Loomis chose a La Cornue range and a decorative range hood to create a focal point in the kitchen. An unfitted, stand-alone cabinet on the window wall was crafted with steel mesh insets in lieu of glass to add interest and a bit of panache.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, interior designer Lori Loomis’ kitchen emerged revitalized and renewed after a burst pipe flooded the main floor of her Midlothian home while the family was away, causing such extensive damage that they were forced to relocate while it was gutted and rebuilt. “The Loomises were in a unique situation,” says Marvin Daniel of KDW Home. “Our goal was to work with them to design their dream kitchen and to expedite and execute the design and installation of their plan.”
