After a rough beginning a trip to Southeast Asia to get her creative juices flowing yielded little inspiration de Kwiatkowski woke up one evening around midnight and began tearing pages from old journals, love letters and vintage photographs, assembling them into large-scale collages on her kitchen counter.
On a slightly smaller scale, I once went to change a single light in my kitchen and ended up replacing literally every bulb in the house with brand new LEDs.
The home has passed through two owners since then and underwent a small-scale renovation, which included new interior finishes, updated fixtures and a brand-new garden-level kitchen.
