The original kitchen at Rock Garden was tucked away from the rest of the main level, with limited storage and hardly any workable counter space. To make it support a family that cooks and gathers daily, we opened the room to the dining and living areas by removing walls and adding a new structural beam. The new layout brings clarity and connection, giving the kitchen a true place at the center of the home.

Our Client's Vision
Kitchen Color Palette
Kitchen Mood Board
Our clients wanted a kitchen that felt bright and natural. Think: a place that brought the outdoors in and reflected their love for nature and midcentury design. The green cabinetry painted with Sherwin-Williams Rock Garden was a dream choice from the start, and ultimately the inspiration behind the name of the entire project.
We layered in zellige tile for texture and warmth, selected walnut-toned details to honor the home’s midcentury roots, and centered the space with a large, inviting island. Midcentury-inspired pendants added just enough style to make the room feel fresh without overwhelming the simplicity they loved.
The goal was a kitchen that felt connected, calming, and full of life — a space where cooking and community could finally happen side by side.

client testimonial
We recently hired Moonstone for a MAJOR renovation including a 2-level addition, complete overhaul of our kitchen, and a bathroom upgrade. We vetted numerous contractors and it was clear right away that Lidia had the best understanding of what we were looking for. Her passion for design AND function aligned perfectly with our vision. Lidia and her team’s results did not disappoint. Lidia was not afraid to gently encourage the bold design choices that I loved but was hesitant to commit to, and I am so glad! If you are looking for a contractor who can create a design full of unique character and blend old and new, Lidia and Moonstone will do just that.
