Oregon Home | 25 OST DESIGNERS, when they graduate from interior design school, spend some time working under a senior designer on their first professional projects. Not Isaac Musket. Upon finishing his work at Portland Community College, he joined design/build firm C&K Custom Remodeling, jumping into his role as lead designer with his first remodel. “It was completely surreal for me,” says Musket. While still in school, Musket experimented often with bold color, with the understanding that much of what he would work on afterward — or at least what he thought he’d work on — would be neutral or white kitchens. But he found in this client a perfect partner, who came to the project with elements she knew she wanted: green countertops, terra cotta on the floor and an artistic use of tile. The two bonded over their shared love of watching hand-painted tile videos on Instagram and their affinity for bold choices. M Cristallizzato Quartzite countertops from Architectural Surfaces inject a sense of magic into the everyday. “Sabrina” Fireclay tile grounds the space with warmth.
