BEFORE
a dresser covered in cowhide, and even a wildebeest skull that was bleached and embellished with geodes and tourmaline by artist Jamie Dietrich of Los Angeles, CA. These interesting textures and natural elements were used cohesively throughout the home. In the kitchen, it becomes abundantly apparent that attention to detail was key, maybe even a theme throughout the entire renovation. White hired Dennis Salisbury, who meticulously crafted contemporary cabinets and further collaborated over various interior features. “Dennis built all the white oak cabinets and was really able to turn my vision for the architectural overhaul into reality. I was lucky to be one of his last two jobs just before he retired,” White said. Together, they were able to design a space that maximized storage and functionality while emphasizing White’s modern, masculine style. They also added plenty of custom touches, including an oversized quartz island plus a custom wine rack with both a fixed portion and a removable shelf for extra counter space when needed. Near the kitchen and just off the living room, a light-drenched sunroom beckons. “My fiancée and I are constantly in here, whether it’s wine at night or coffee in the morning. She really loves it in here,” said White. The space is also home to several pieces that White collected while traveling. Pointing at the colorful painting above the sofa, White reflected, “I found that painting while on safari in Kenya. The mask on the table is from a trip to Nigeria, and several pieces are from Spain and the Philippines. I really like to bring home eclectic pieces of cultural art from all the places I travel.”
