DE SIGN WITH
Nasser loves color blocking, which she did
in the shower with two bold tile hues - muted
peach and blue. She was nervous about this at
fi rst but said that having someone install the
tile the way she envisioned it was key.
" Th e angle of the tile was tricky to get right
so that all three connected correctly, " she explained.
" Th e tile installer had to redo it a
couple of times to get it right, and we used a
black L-channel cap to give it a cleaner joint. "
KITCHEN CULMINATION
Th e former kitchen was small with an awkward
layout; when opening certain cabinet
doors, they would bump into other elements.
Nasser said it was clear a designer had not
been involved in the implementation of this
space. She was able to transform it into a
bright room with tons of natural light.
A sliding pass-through window on one
wall opens to a counter just outside. A large
island provides ample storage, and the space
is large enough to accommodate a 36-in.
range, since the family loves to cook.
Nasser's husband playing the client was
pivotal in the kitchen design, and he was able
to narrow down her initial 20 shades of green
to a specifi c emerald he knew from the beginning
he wanted.
" It was both a blessing and a curse to design
my own spaces, " said the designer. " It
was great to use some really cool materials
most clients don't know about. Th e downside
was not being able to use everything I know
is available in the market; we too were on a
budget, after all. "
In terms of lessons learned on her own
project, Nasser said to trust yourself and
not to second guess everything. As design
professionals, you know what you are doing,
and you have done it multiple times. She also
recommends exploring diff erent materials.
" It has been great to be able to personally
live with many of the products and materials I
sell to our clients, " she added. " My fi rst-hand
experience and education on those off erings
has grown. "

ABOVE Brushed-brass
fi nishes on the lighting,
faucets and hardware add an
additional pop of brightness
to the space. Nasser says
her favorite part is the natural
quartzite countertops and
admits she can't stop staring
at them.
BELOW To avoid the choppy
look of multiple pendants over
the square island, Designer
Rima Nasser chose a single
linear statement pendant
with leather-wrapped rods,
a nod to her husband's style.
A layered lighting plan was a
must, so she also included
two concrete sconces over
the sink.
