The clients are an international couple that have recently relocated to the Richmond, Va area. The husband is from India and is a local pediatric cardiologist and the wife is from Belgium and she helps large non-profits invest their money. They also just had twins less than a year ago and were looking for a mid century rancher that they could renovate and continue to live in for some time while the kids grew into adults. They ended up renovated nearly 80% of the house with the main focus being on the kitchen and master suite. The old kitchen had not been renovated since the house was first built and included old melamine cabinets that reminded you of an old hospital exam room on steroids to replace these with something that had a modern look, but with a warm feel. We ended up going with walnut doors and drawer fronts with a natural maple interior.
