ILVE Majestic III Featured in a Rue Magazine Spanish Revival Kitchen Renovation
The ILVE Majestic III brings Italian craftsmanship and classic presence to a Rue Magazine-featured Spanish Revival kitchen by Covet Interiors.
Some kitchens feel newly renovated. Others feel as though they have always belonged.
In a recent Rue Magazine feature, interior designer Randall Boisvert of Covet Interiors shares a thoughtful Spanish Revival kitchen renovation located just outside Nelson, British Columbia, on the shores of Kootenay Lake. Surrounded by established gardens and soft east-facing light, the home already had charm, character, and strong architectural bones. The goal was not to erase that history, but to refine it.
At the heart of the kitchen is the ILVE Majestic III 40-inch Dual Fuel Range in Glossy Black with Polished Brass trim, a statement appliance chosen as a focal point, yet integrated in a way that feels timeless, grounded, and natural to the home.
A Kitchen Designed to Feel Original to the Home
The homeowner’s vision was clear: every decision needed to feel intentional and authentic, as though the space had evolved naturally with the house rather than being layered on after the fact.
Covet Interiors approached the renovation with that same sensitivity. Working within the existing footprint, the team minimized demolition while preserving key elements of the home, including the plaster walls, tiled floors, fir trim, wood-burning fireplace, and existing backsplash details.
The finished space feels elevated without feeling overdone. Warm walnut millwork, unlacquered brass hardware, marble surfaces, custom cabinetry, and layered neutral tones create a kitchen that feels collected, refined, and deeply livable.
From Overlooked Corner to Garden-Facing Destination
One of the most meaningful transformations was the existing bay window beside the wood-burning fireplace. Previously an awkward corner without a clear purpose, the area was reimagined as a custom-built banquette overlooking the garden.
The result is a comfortable, intimate place to gather, a quiet destination within the kitchen that maximizes every inch while adding warmth, texture, and function. It is the kind of thoughtful design move that changes how a home is experienced every day.
The ILVE Majestic III as the Focal Point
The homeowner was especially interested in incorporating an ILVE range into the kitchen. The selected appliance, the ILVE Majestic III 40-inch Dual Fuel Range in Glossy Black with Polished Brass trim, brings together classic Italian design, modern cooking technology, and professional performance.
Its glossy black finish creates depth and contrast, while the polished brass trim complements the kitchen’s unlacquered brass hardware and warm walnut cabinetry. Rather than competing with the surrounding architecture, the range anchors the room with quiet confidence.

Walnut, Brass, Marble, and Character-Rich Details
One of the strengths of this renovation is its restraint. Every material feels connected to the home’s existing architecture.
The walnut millwork adds warmth and depth. Unlacquered brass pulls and knobs were selected to age naturally over time. The custom-painted island, finished in Farrow & Ball’s London Stone, introduces a soft tonal contrast, while marble surfaces and backsplash details bring a quiet sense of luxury.
Together, these elements create a kitchen that feels layered, intentional, and lived in, the kind of space that will continue to gain character with time.
