We’re excited to finally share some highlights from our recent Havana Nights event! A few months ago, we had the honor of hosting a “Havana Nights” event to benefit Tulsa’s Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Chef Shannon Smith prepared a delicious 5-course Cuban dinner for 40 guests, and we dined al fresco in our new outdoor space at The Studio at K|D.
Today we are sharing Pt. 2 of our Silverthorne Project reveal, featuring interior design, furniture, and styling by Kirkendall Design in Tulsa, OK. If you missed Pt. 1, view it here.
This two-story Colorado home offers breathtaking views and combines mountain charm with traditional and eclectic touches. Let’s explore the downstairs walk-out basement which includes two guest suites, a kitchen/entertainment bar, and game room.

This exciting venture was a dream come true for our long-time clients (we’ve previously designed stunning homes in Springfield and Tulsa). When they reached out to us for their new mountain retreat near the Blue River and Lake Dillon, we couldn’t wait to get started.
Nestled in the mountains of Colorado, this two-story home features breathtaking elevated views from every window. The walk-out basement includes two guest suites, entertainment bar, game room, and extra bedrooms. Stay tuned for Pt. 2 to explore the downstairs spaces.

If you are building a new home, or renovating an existing kitchen, you might be wondering what features your kitchen needs. Our Tulsa-based interior design firm specializes in kitchen renovations and we pride ourselves on keeping up with the latest design innovations to make your kitchen into a functional and stylish space.
Here are some of our favorite kitchen renovation must-haves that promise to elevate your cooking experience and add value to your home.
No more rummaging through cluttered spice racks. Spice pull-outs are sleek, organized, and ensure that your favorite seasonings are always within arm’s reach. These pull-outs save space and make your cooking experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Proper lighting is essential in any kitchen. Task lighting under cabinets and hood not only adds a modern touch but also ensures that your cooking area is well-lit. This is also a great feature to accommodate aging household members’ needs.

A pull-out trash bin may seem like a given, but if your spouse or builder suggests otherwise, don’t be swayed. It’s a game-changer that keeps unsightly trash cans out of view and helps maintain a clean, uncluttered look. Plus, it’s incredibly convenient for keeping your kitchen tidy during meal prep and clean-up.
A dedicated coffee bar, cocktail prep area, or smoothie center is a top trend these days for kitchen renovations. Not only do they enhance your daily routines, but they also offer extra counter space when you’re entertaining, extra storage for appliances, and keep all of your beverages in one space rather than taking up room in the main fridge.

Placing the microwave under the counter frees up valuable countertop space and contributes to a streamlined kitchen design. This innovative placement is ergonomic and another great feature to accommodate aging household members’ needs.

Maximize your kitchen storage with additional compartments under the island. This bonus area can house bulky serving ware, holiday decor, or small appliances. It’s a simple design feature that adds major value to your kitchen renovation.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Designer Spotlight event last month. We enjoyed discussing the unique interior design features of this beautiful 1930s renovation project, a testament to the exceptional work of the entire Kirkendall Design team. It was fun to share our enthusiasm for interior design with our Tulsa community and to celebrate the collaborative effort behind this remarkable home. See more photos on our design portfolio page.
A special thank you goes out to our co-host, Shawn Peters with Chinowth & Cohen, and to our sponsors, Apex Title Services and Mabrey Bank.
As the temperatures rise and the Oklahoma sun begins to shine, it’s time to turn our attention to our outdoor living areas. Here at Kirkendall Design, we love creating outdoor spaces that are an extension of our client’s homes. Around this same time last year, we wrote a blog post about how spending time outdoors can work wonders for reducing stress, boosting creativity, and lifting spirits. This is precisely why we love to provide design services for outdoor spaces in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and beyond!
In one of our recent interior design projects, we had the pleasure of curating multiple outdoor living spaces for a client’s second home in Silverthorne, Colorado. Our client was after outdoor furniture that was more unique, comfortable and would last the test of time and weather. That’s where our exclusive partnerships in the furniture industry came into play.
Our team at K|D has been gearing up for the most wonderful time of the year! It’s not just about festive decorations (which we love!); it’s about spreading joy and giving back to our communities. In the spirit of Christmas, we want to share some heartwarming ways our staff gives their time and love during the holiday season.
We asked our team members how they contribute, whether financially or with their precious time, to make a difference in the lives of others. Their responses were inspiring, ranging from volunteering at local organizations in Tulsa to donating coats and gifts to families in need.
Here are some of our team’s favorite giving ideas:
In addition to giving their time, our Kirkendall Design team also has some great last-minute gift ideas to share. Keep scrolling for thoughtful and unique gifts for your loved ones!
We hope these ideas inspire you to make the most of your holidays with loved ones and make a difference in your community this December. Merry Christmas from the K|D staff!
