Gold Standard: A Glamorous Kitchen Transformation by Lisa Shaddix

With meticulous attention to detail and an eye for aesthetic harmony, Lisa Shaddix designed every aspect of her kitchen to reflect the perfect fusion of form and function.

When interior designer Lisa Shaddix and husband Jamie made the decision to build their dream home, the kitchen was top priority. Lisa centered the entire design around one specific detail—the range. That meant going all in with gold and black, a glamorous color combination. A custom hood matches the La Cornue oven, while more gold shines through in the brass pendants from Inline Lighting, barstools from Ballard Designs, and elegant hardware, including the Cremone bolt on the door to the adjacent pantry.

The rich notes continue in the task and storage area, but here, Lisa introduced a green accent with the cabinets (Roycroft Bottle Green by Sherwin-Williams). The cabinets house all of her extra serveware, baking accessories, and even a complete gift-wrapping station. “My personal style comes out so much in the space, and it’s also incredibly functional,” Lisa says. “Everything works together so well yet still allows the range to be the star of the show.”

A walk-in pantry provides generous storage for dry goods. Cabinets on either side house shelving specifically designed to fit cookie sheets, cutting boards, and charcuterie boards.

“The kitchen blends elements from various design styles, resulting in a space that exudes both beauty and function.”
