HOME vice they generally employ for larger parties. Jana Neudel, a Terranova interior design expert, worked closely with Joy in developing the kitchen’s finish work elevations. Nordic white mission-style cabinet facings present a pleasing shade contrast to the truffle-colored facings of the food prep island. Natural stone tiles with herringbone detail in a 3” x 6” brick pattern, meanwhile, present a softly neutral back splash that lends texture to an open sunny space. Completing the “transitional”-style interior design statement, walnut flooring and crown molding create a unifying visual unity. Natural light floods in from all directions. A perfect space for entertaining, and gourmet cooking pursuits. Designers at Terranova Construction K&B periodically offer workshops on home remodeling topics at their Tysons Corner show room.
