She also changed the powder room, which is annexed to the kitchen. It looks and functions so much better.” Corredor extended the Bianco marble flooring to other open areas of the house, nearly everywhere except for the bedrooms. And when they have a dinner party, everyone can mill in and out of the kitchen-galley, dining and living areas while able to see everything going on around them. “The island we created is where she likes to serve the kids breakfast and have family members gather. “Mathy cooks a great deal, and they entertain on a regular basis,” says Corredor. At one end of the kitchen space, Corredor designed dark wood shelving where Mathy displays her collection of cookbooks. She also added a functional island and mint chocolate granite countertops. The transformation is astonishing! It looks like a different place.” Part of that transformation included stripping the “awful” brown kitchen cabinets and replacing them with clean-lined, white ones from Italy. “And I used sheer white window treatments which further opened things up creating an airy, balmy space. “By eliminating the wall and adding the marble we amplified the new and expanded public area,” says Corredor, who is known for optimizing space in creative ways.

They feared they had bought the wrong house. While they loved the Bay Harbor Islands location and the 4,000-square-foot, one-story home’s potential for beauty and ample entertaining space, they felt the living and dining areas were too restricted and looked very small.
