KITCHEN
Capital City
Tall ceilings opened up this inspired
space to many budget-friendly
decorative possibilities

HEN A PROFESSIONAL couple
in Washington, D.C.,
needed an extensive renovation
for their loft-style condo, they sought
out Mary Douglas Drysdale of Drysdale Design
Associates because they could see from
the project photos on her website that she had
terrific range. They appreciated her attention to
detail and trusted that she could successfully
achieve their goal of living in a space that made
them happy.

the ceiling was not an option because of budget,
but she really wanted to create something with
a strong visual impact to support the elevation.
BALANCING THE BUDGET
Although the original figure was surpassed,
Drysdale was able to extend the timeline by a
year so the couple had time to save money for
the project fund. She was able to come up with
solutions to save and splurge to stay within the
established goals.
To open the kitchen and infuse the space on
a grand scale, Drysdale covered the huge wall
behind the range in black and white porcelain
tile. The cost of slabs can really add up, but she
