Discussing Color Options for the Corian

Bob is with Andrea Johnoson of DuPont Corian to see the wide variety of colors and styles of Corian solid surfacing available for countertops, tables, sinks, and backsplashes. Johnson explains that while Corian once came only in white, DuPont now offers over 100 different colors and patterns. Corian solid surface countertops are non-porous, stain and scratch resistant, easily cleaned, and backed by a great warranty from DuPont. All Corian comes 1/2-inch thick. Counter edges are built up by the fabricator then cut and shaped to form a thicker edge. The kitchen counters are Canyon, one of the new colors derived from nature. DuPont's aim with the new palette is to bring the soothing colors of nature inside. Johnson shows Bob a number of other color samples from the line including silt, which will be used in the master bath and the hall bath. Johnson adds that those baths will each have counters with integral sinks, a seamless design offered by Corian and other solid surface companies. The cost for solid surface countertops varies depending on the color, amount and type of particulate added to create a textured look, and the price grouping from the company.

Bob joins the project's interior designer, Jonathan Adler, in the guest bedroom to discuss the decor. Adler used a Lucite shelf to add storage space without making the small room appear smaller. The rug is goatskin and the bed is from the West Elm Catalog, a local Brooklyn retailer that specializes in "urban living". The room is painted in Wheatland Beige from Bob's Signature line of paints. In the second bedroom Adler borrowed ideas from David Hicks to design a sumptuous office. He uses bold patterns, colors and materials to mix pop art with luxury. Bob points out a 1970 reproduction Thonet rocking chair made with chrome instead of the typical bentwood.

Homeowners Jeanne Sanviti-Masher and David Masher look at the finished dining room with Bob. Using a favorite landscape painting by Priscilla Serafin, a local Rowley artist, Jeanne chose a muted yellow for the walls. For the dining room table, the Mashers decided to match mission-style upholstered chairs through Design Works, a Cape Cod furniture purveyor that created the table and provided Portuguese pottery, French flatware, and Czechoslovakian crystal, all from the Juliska line, to complete the look.

Homeowner Teresa Fogolini greets Bob as he enters the house for the final walkthrough. Bob remarks that this is move-in time for the homeowners, but little remains of their belongings since they lost virtually everything when Hurricane Charley destroyed their home. Cynthia Guncsaga from Bacon's Furniture Galleries joins them to explain how they determined furniture selections and design schemes for the new home. Guncsaga explains that it's important to learn from the homeowners, what they like, and start from there to assemble groupings and themes. Fogolini and Bob mention the Porcelanosa steel-look tile that became the driving force for the colors selected inside, picking up on the blues, browns, and natural hues in the tile. The bamboo welcome garden in the front yard becomes a material theme that is carried throughout, in the furniture frames, tables, and chairs. Art that reflects the style of the homeowners including a painting depicting a hurricane survival kit are on loan from Presseller's Gallery in Punta Gorda. In the bedroom, natural wood tones continue and complement the Brazilian Walnut hardwood floor from Bellawood. Neutral tiles and earth tones complete the look in the master bath.
