More often than not, designers and clients meet through referrals or even on Instagram. For Ryan and Kate, the homeowners of this project, it was a holiday house tour benefiting a local art gallery that brought them face-to-face with their future designer, Candice Brown.

That vision was a kitchen with symmetry, a mix of open and closed storage, and plenty of room for family game nights.
