Elena and Yury Potylchansky have lived in their Bellaire home for more than 22 years....
Elena and Yury Potylchansky appreciated their Bellaire home for its location and proximity to the Texas Medical Center, where they work long hours as doctors. But after living in it for more than 20 years, they were ready for a change.
More canned ceiling lighting was added to the kitchen, which didn't have enough light even though it's connected to the breakfast nook and family room, which have large windows. The most obvious signal of its modern design are the cabinets Vaughan created for them. Instead of the usual wooden boxes that get paint and hardware, Vaughan had custom birch cabinets finished with sheets of gorgeous laminate for doors and exterior trim. The main cabinets are covered with linen fabric that get a high-gloss finish.
Amid all of those changes, the real kitchen showstoppers are the tall table extending from the island and backsplash that's a mosaic of small rectangles of copper with a varied patina. It makes it possible to cut and assemble the mosaic pattern more easily, as well as creating other types of tile that combine stone and other materials into geometric patterns.
For flooring throughout the main living area, foyer and dining room, Vaughan found large-format rectangular porcelain tile – 24 inches by 48 inches – with a marbled pattern that put big taupe veining on a white background.
