Charlie and Kevin Dumais cleverly designed their rustic-modern kitchen in Litchfield, CT, emphasizing affordability and DIY creativity. By using Ikea for cabinet interiors complemented by custom Semihandmade doors, they managed to keep costs low. Key highlights include a self-built kitchen island and unique brass lighting fixtures. Their standout investment was in Calacatta Tucci marble counters, balancing budget with quality. The overall design reflects ingenuity, making the most out of both unconventional materials and personal touches, showcasing how thoughtful design can flourish without extensive spending.
To help keep our renovation costs at a minimum, we used Ikea for the cabinet interiors and added plain front doors from Semihandmade.
We ordered them unfinished so we could paint them... Other DIY elements include the small surface-mounted brass ceiling fixtures which Charlie made.
