Why commission a whole new kitchen when all it takes is a little imagination to give it a fresh new look? That’s what Danish photographer Sif Meincke came up with when she decided to renovate her summer house in the charming seaside village of Vig. 

This small village of about 1,500 inhabitants in the Zealand region is bordered to the east by the Roskilde Fjord and lies next to the Kattegat sea area, on the Baltic Sea.

Perhaps because of its green and blue hues and its relaxed atmosphere, the photographer decided to use light blue to paint the old furniture. “I love projects where I can take part in the whole process, from the idea to the staging”, says Meincke about her job. “I focus on rhythm, creativity, atmosphere, details, form, light and, above all, people”, she explains. 

A Silestone worktop that changed everything

One could say that she did the same with her old kitchen, which she renovated from a sustainable perspective. “We thought it was wasteful to replace the old kitchen and, as a result, we have a recycled kitchen with new paint and a new worktop. A sturdy worktop that stands up to everything, looks attractive and delightful, and is made from recycled raw materials. Silestone is a perfect choice”, she says.

Now, the worktop, the splashback and the Due L sink, a bespoke piece with friendly, organic forms, shine thanks to Silestone Calacatta Gold, a white background crossed by elegant, thick grey veins and surprising golden details, reminiscent of one of the most appreciated marbles of ancient times for its timeless and distinguished look.
