In this episode of Houzz TV Live, designer Noz Nozawa takes viewers inside her 1970s cabin near Lake Tahoe in California. Nozawa recently stripped the worn and dated kitchen to the studs and updated the space with new cabinets that feature a natural wood finish on the lowers and a deep, dark green on the uppers (Jasper by Sherwin-Williams). Granite countertops and a handmade white subway tile backsplash add more style.
The kitchen is part of a vaulted great room that includes a bar and home office area, a living space, a dining area and a corner home gym. In the living space, comfortable seating, including a sofa purchased on Houzz, creates a welcoming, cozy atmosphere in front of a rustic stone fireplace. And in a ground floor lounge area, Nozawa designed an inviting window reading nook that includes built-ins with cabinet storage, bookshelves for her husband’s sci-fi collection and a twin bed with a trundle-style twin bed below.
