Editor, Kitchen and Bath Ideas®
TAKE A PHOTO!That’s right. Snap a picture now, while your kitchen or bath still
looks like a dark, dated, depressing rabbit hole. Believe me, we’ve
seen worse. And even when we think we’ve seen The Worst, another
Before photo comes along that makes us gasp (and then rejoice in the
fact that this is, indeed, a Before, which means a beautiful After will
follow!). We relish the opportunity to go back in time and see just
where these homeowners began their remodeling journey, because it’s
a place—and space—to which most of us can relate. The pain points
tend to be universal: too little square footage, too little style, too little
function. But the solutions are remarkably diverse.
Take Tina and Keith Rodda’s fresh, breezy kitchen in Cape
Elizabeth, Maine (page 116). Its eff icient layout and stylish materials
belie its origins as a closed-off room that did little to welcome the
Roddas’ young family. Now it’s their favorite hangout, thanks to
thoughtful planning and patience. (They lived with their existing
space for a year to determine just what changes they wanted to make.)
Dana and Jeremy Sacks say they “inherited 90 years of bad taste”
when they bought their foursquare house in Portland, Oregon—and
the ill-conceived kitchen was among the worst off enders. But a gut
remodel and addition completely transformed the way the space looks
and functions (page 74).
And then there’s the 2012 DC Design House bath remodel, a
project spearheaded by designer Allie Mann. Out went the cotton-
candy pink decor and egregious use of fl oral wallpaper, and in came
a crisp green-and-white palette, clean-lined fixtures, and abundant
cottage charm (page 130). It’s one of my all-time favorite before-and-
afters. And it proves, like all the featured makeovers in this issue, that
even the worst Before can have a happily ever After.

COLOR 101Meet the color wheel.
Primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. They combine to create all other colors.
Secondary colors—green, orange, and purple—result from combining two primary colors.
Tertiary colors, such as blue-green or red-orange, result from combining a primary color with a secondary color.
NEUTRAL
ZONE Shades of white,
black, brown, and
gray are the most
pervasive colors in
kitchens and baths
(wood fl ooring and
creamy marble are
perfect examples).
These colors and
materials have a
classic appeal, but
the key to keeping
the look fresh is
mixing patterns,
textures, and
finishes within the
neutral hues.
MONOCHROMATIC: A scheme that starts with a single color, such as yellow, then uses tints and shades of that color to enliven the palette.
ANALOGOUS: A scheme built on colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel, such as a panoply of blues, teals, and greens.
COMPLEMENTARY: A scheme constructed on colors that are opposite each other on the wheel, such as blue and orange or yellow and purple.
14 KITCHEN + BATH IDEAS SPRING 2014
colorful languageWARM: Generally reminiscent of heat sources like fire and sunlight, warm hues are made with reds, yellows, and oranges.
COOL: Often oceanic in nature, cools are made with blues, greens, and purples.
NEUTRALS: Colors that are neither warm nor cool, such as white, black, and gray.
TINT: Making a color lighter by adding white. For example, pink is a tint of red.
SHADE: Darkening a color by adding black. Navy is a shade of blue. Shade also refers to a slight variation in the color.
SATURATION: The degree of a color’s purity in relation to gray. Clear colors are highly saturated. Think fire-engine red.
VALUE: The brightness of color; the higher the brightness, the more light it refl ects.
DOMINANT COLOR: The commanding color in a room. This has the most surface area, and often appears in wallcoverings such as paint, tile, and wallpaper, or cabinetry.
SECONDARY COLOR: A color used on a substantial but less widespread aspect of the room, such as an accent wall, tile, or molding.
ACCENT COLOR: A color used minimally, often in nonstructural elements, such as seating, linens, or rugs.
Samantha Thorpeeditor, Color Made Easy
“The number of colors out there can be overwhelming. But don’t be afraid to try something to brighten your kitchen that will make a personal statement.”
all about color
Pale shades are more flexible for pairing with other colors. When you think you’ve found the hue, go a step or two lighter on the paint swatch strip, and you’ll likely be much happier with the outcome.
from the pros
70Never use one color for more than 70% of a room. For a tricolor approach, try a 70/20/10
distribution. For two colors, go 70/30.
MAKE A STATEMENTIn spaces large or small, try these tips for attention-getting color.
Look up to ceilings, which are usually among the most underdeveloped elements of any room. If deep moldings, coff ers, and beams aren’t your style, try simply adding a fresh color overhead.
A colorful big-ticket item, such as a range or freestanding tub, can off er an unexpected use of color that delivers instant character.
Bold, radiant light fixtures can sometimes have more impact on a kitchen or bath than colorful walls or cabinetry.
Remember that natural materials provide color,
too. For example, a paint color might bring the
red out of woods, or tiles might highlight blues
in a stone. Not accounting for these seemingly
impartial neutrals, or failing to recognize their
roots, can ruin a finished product.
FROM THE EARTH
When sampling paint colors for walls or cabinetry, check the color throughout the day and night, and in various lighting.
bhg.com/kitchenbath 15
all about color
Nervous about making a big color commitment? Love your white kitchen but looking for some pizzazz? Paint the island! Unattached to the rest of the kitchen, it’s an ideal place for playing with colors and finishes.

FROM THE PROS: Make wall color your last decision in a makeover. Cabinets, countertops, fl ooring, and even appliances should be chosen fi rst. Walls are usually the easiest and least expensive element to change to perfect your look.
a strong finish
KEEP CALM
Pink! Not only is it feminine, but it’s also believed to be the most calming, passive hue. It has been used in sports facilities as a psychological calming trick in visiting teams’ locker rooms, and it can do the same thing in your home through accents.
A paint’s finish can be as important as the color, especially in busy, hardworking rooms like kitchens and baths. Here’s a quick guide to the most common types.
MATTE FINISH: Rich and almost velvety looking, matte does not refl ect light. It produces a dramatic look but is hard to clean—not suited for kitchens or baths.
FLAT FINISH: Almost chalky in appearance, fl at paint’s dull finish can show wear, so it’s not the best choice for busy rooms.
SATIN FINISH: Its slight shine gives walls more dimension and makes it a bit easier to clean than fl at or matte paint.
SEMIGLOSS FINISH: This finish refl ects a lot of light—and stands up to a lot of wear—so it’s ideal for kitchens and baths.
HIGH-GLOSS FINISH: A hard finish that’s durable and easy to clean, but beware: The vibrant sheen will show fingerprints and smudges, and emphasize surface imperfections.

HIGH-GLOSS
One of the many benefts of including color in your space is that it allows you to play with pattern. Love a slim pinstripe, a classic damask, and a bold foral? Seemingly discordant prints work together if they’re in the same color scheme. You’ll want a mix of large- and small-scale
designs. In the kitchen, try playing with backsplash tiles, a runner, or window treatments. For the bath, look toward linens, shower curtains, foor tiles, and wallpaper. In each, be sure to leave some neutral space for balance—you don’t want the patterns running into each other.
all about color
pattern play
Samantha Thorpeeditor, Color Made Easy
“Look to a tile, rug, or artwork you love to help you select a color or two you like. Then, if you want to try it as a paint color, take the inspiration to a paint shop to create a sample quart to match that color. ”
bhg.com/kitchenbath 19
SMART PRODUCT
Looking to paint a dark surface? Brushing a paint sample over an existing dark color will not accurately show the hue unless you use a primer first. Try SureSwatch instead! This paintable 9×12-inch film sticks to the wall and is easily removable—saving the hassle of priming and painting. Learn more online at sureswatch.com, then pick it up at Home Depot for about $1.
GET CREATIVE Go behind the scenes, adding color
inside drawers, behind cabinet doors,
or backing open shelves for surprising
doses of personality.
Where should you start looking for bath color inspiration? Think about how you use the room.
Is it a place that rejuvenates and relaxes you? Stick to cool, calming, spa-like colors: light greens and blues and sandy, bright neutrals. Or is the bath where you get energized and excited for the day? Enliven the space with fiery reds and cheery yellow. Color is a proven mood enhancer, so make the bath’s palette work for your lifestyle.

lets the island be a place
where family and friends
can gather.

6DARLING DETAILS
Vintage tin ceiling tiles
were cut down and used
for custom doors under the
island sink. Extra attention
to detail added character to
the clean-lined kitchen.
3SIMPLY STUNNING
Rustic open shelves let
a collection of white
dishware and vintage
wicker pieces take center
stage. Just a few citrus
green accents bring
playful pops of color.
5IN SYNC
An apron-front sink is
hardworking but has a
casual look that appears
tailored for this laid-back
space. A built-in cutting
board and custom inset
dish drain fl ank the sink.
4EASYGOING CHARM
Painted shiplap siding
is an inexpensive way to
add interest behind the
open shelving. Carried
throughout the kitchen’s
walls and island base, its
cozy appeal meshes with
the beachy cottage look.

A double-oven range
provides the function
the homeowner wanted
without taking up the
space that two wall ovens
would require.
10STORAGE SMARTS
Little changes make a big
impact when it comes
to cabinetry. Trading
traditional doors for a
few glass-front cabinets—
and squeezing in wine
storage—perfectly mixes
form and function.

homeowners’ love of
collecting seashells, the
kitchen’s focal point is
the custom concrete
backsplash—a mix of
concrete and locally
gathered shells.

Layout, Layering, and Light output.
Focus on those three Ls when lighting
a space, says Denise Dick, a certified
master kitchen and bath designer
and the owner of Signature Kitchens
by Design in Carrollton, Texas.
“Understand that there are several
diferent lighting scenarios you need,
including ambient, task, and accent,”
Dick says. “Never rely on one fixture
to accomplish several tasks.”
In addition to the hardworking
recessed ceiling lights and
undercabinet lighting, here are
common task and ambient lighting
options that add style to your space.
Ceiling-mount fxtures distribute
ambient lighting evenly throughout
a room. They come in two main
varieties: Flush-mount fixtures fit
snugly against the ceiling, while
semifush fixtures hang about a foot
below the ceiling.
Pendants hang from the ceiling
on a downrod, cord, or chain. They
supply eye-level illumination that
makes them ideal for task lighting
over an island or counter.
Chandeliers are attention-
grabbing fixtures that draw the eye
upward. Supplement chandeliers with
additional fixtures to supply suficient
brightness to the room.
Sconces provide task lighting and
are usually mounted on walls in pairs,
one on each side of an object, such as
a kitchen window or bath mirror.
When shopping for lights, consider
scale and proportion, and measure
carefully. “In stores, fixtures tend to
look smaller than they do once you
bring them home,” Dick says.
Also think about light output.
As natural light changes in a room
throughout the day, or as you desire
a certain mood, your bulbs might
shine too brightly. Putting lights on
dimmers allows you to get the exact
level of illumination you want.
On the following pages you’ll find
stunning fixtures to light your kitchen
or bath. Ready, set, glow!

USEFUL NICHE Recessing an area of the backsplash produces a
handy spot for your most-used cooking utensils and ingredients.
Using all the same tile makes the niche “fl oat” above the cooktop.
STRONG DEFENSE For the chef who tends to make a mess
around the stove top, a sheet of stainless steel provides the ultimate
protection for the wall while making it easy to clean up.
COTTAGE CHARM Beaded board gives walls texture—and as this
kitchen shows, sometimes color, too! Try running it up the wall and
behind open shelving for a tailored look.
BOLD TILE Express your personality with a dramatically patterned
ceramic or porcelain tile. Let the color and pattern complement your
style while adding interest to a kitchen with simple cabinetry.

TWO FOR ONE IN THE BATH?
My bath has two sinks on the same cabinet. I want to know if having dual sinks is standard now in a master bathroom, or
can I gain more space by installing a single-basin sink since it’s just me? Is it better for resale down the road to keep it as is?—T. Freeman, via e-mail
Q:
“Today, master bathroom designs almost always include double
sinks as a standard feature. Our real estate brokers from across
the country agree double sinks are better for resale. However, if you feel
like having one sink would greatly improve your lifestyle, get creative
with the newfound space to add value, such as including a vanity or
vertical storage unit with the lowest section housing electrical outlets for
hair dryers, curling irons, and electric razors.”—Sherry Chris, president
and CEO, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, LLC.

LIGHTS OUT In 2014, we complete the lighting industry’s three-year phase-out of general-purpose (100-, 75-, 60-, and 40-watt) incandescent lightbulbs. As part of the change, watts are no longer the standard for identifying bulbs. The trick to buying the right LED, CFL, or halogen replacement is to look at the package’s Lighting Facts panel, similar to the nutrition panel on food products. For quick reference, Energy Used indicates what wattage of incandescent bulb you’re replacing. Check out americanlightingassociation.com to learn more about picking the right bulb.

PERFECTLYPETITE

stylist and photographer JAMES YOCHUM

This little gem of a kitchen makes room for everything its owners want, including
a stunning view.
IT’S YOUR DREAM lakefront property,
but the kitchen is small and
outdated. Do you keep looking or
start cooking? For Mike and Milissa
Castrucci, it was an easy decision:
The location of their Harbor Springs,
Michigan, house was perfect; the
kitchen just needed some help to
get there, too. Still, they had a tall
order for a room so short on space.
The kitchen had to accommodate
the couple and their three young
daughters while capitalizing on
gorgeous views.
“We made absolutely every inch
count,” certifi ed kitchen designer
Liz Firebaugh says. “For example, we
specifi ed a range rather than using a
separate wall oven and cooktop. We
also integrated storage enhancements
like tray dividers, utensil and
silverware dividers, and double
pullouts for recycling and trash.”
At 144 square feet, the U-shape
kitchen benefi ts from high ceilings—
and cabinetry that reaches all the way
up to them. Firebaugh designed the
room to be a hardworking dynamo.
“There’s functional work space with a
microwave, refrigerator, and range at
one end, then a serving and cleanup
area at the other end,” she says. “This
way, one person can be cooking and
preparing the meal, and another
person can be on the opposite side
of the sink preparing a salad or
unloading the dishwasher. Neither
one gets in the way of the other.”
Form and function aside, there’s
also the matter of a stunning harbor
view. Soft blue walls and a bank of
windows above the sink help the
room melt into the water outside. An
arched pass-through to the adjoining
dining and living rooms furthers the
feeling of openness. “With all of that
open space and natural lighting, you
do not feel like you are in a small
kitchen at all,” Firebaugh says.

OPPOSITE: “The kitchen
was a galley before the
remodel,” designer Liz
Firebaugh says. “There
used to be a door where
the range is now.”

Honed quartzite countertops
and white painted cabinetry help
achieve the timeless cottage design
Milissa had in mind for the kitchen,
while elegant details like polished-
nickel hardware and furniture-
style architectural elements on the
cabinetry make it chic and graceful.
It all works perfectly for the
Castruccis. Milissa says she wouldn’t
change a thing. “Our new kitchen
has everything we need and more. I
love the cottage charm it off ers with
such a classic, simple design.” She
continues, “Looking out at the water
from our kitchen is what we really
love the most. That is why we chose
to be on the water—so our home
could capture all of what the harbor
has to off er.” KBI

FACED WITH A DISMAL, crowded hall
bath, you might not expect much
from a remodel. But Maria and Paul
Johnston set their expectations
high—and were rewarded with a
sleek retreat in less than 63 square
feet. Packed with storage, it keeps
clutter out of sight and works like a
bath twice its size.
“It’s all about form and function,”
says Maria, who gravitates toward
modern Italian design. “I wanted
everything to be beautiful as well
as practical, and I wasn’t willing to
sacrifice either one.”
Neither was bath designer Tanya
Woods. “This is the only bath serving
the main-fl oor living areas and two
bedrooms,” Woods says, so it must
serve not only as a family bath, but
also as a powder room and guest bath.
Woods used clever tricks to visually
expand the room. She tweaked the
fl oor plan, consolidating open space
in the middle to create an airy layout.
In the original 1950s plan, the tub/
shower stretched along one side of the
room, with the toilet and sink on the
other side, leaving a tight center aisle.
Meanwhile, at the end of the room, a
linen cupboard perched over basement
stairs opened into “funky dead space.”
Woods moved the tub into the dead
space, then turned the cupboard into
two niches—one in the shower—with
open shelving.
For her next space-expanding trick,
the designer fl oated custom wenge
wood cabinetry off the fl oor, so the
lines of the fl oor extend from wall to
wall. “It’s amazing how big a diff erence
this makes,” Maria says. Woods also
made generous use of mirrors and
glass. The refl ective surfaces create
the illusion of more space while
amplifying light throughout the bath.

cuts. “The clean lines draw your eye
around the room,” Woods says.
One of Maria’s favorite
improvements is the lighting. When
guests are expected, she turns off the
recessed cans, dims the pendants, and
lights up a mosaic-lined niche and the
long mirror, which is subtly backlit.
“It’s welcoming and elegant,” Maria
says, “with a little sexiness.”
Her insistence that everything
be practical as well as beautiful has
definitely paid off . Soon after the 2010
remodel, this bath became “splash
central” for Paul and Maria’s baby boy.
The look stayed fresh through it all,
Maria says. “I love the big sink, and
with all the tile, splashes are never a
problem.” KBI

on the opposite wall.
2. Separate rooms for the
toilet and shower were wasting
valuable space in the foor plan.

VALUE BUDGETTHE SOLUTIONS1. Ditching the separate toilet and shower rooms
allowed for an open fl oor plan that feels less
constricted. A partial wall still provides privacy for
the toilet.
2. Moving the shower to the tub wall created a
more balanced bathing area opposite the vanities.
3. Earthy hues and nature-inspired design in the
wheat-color shower walls, pebble tile shower fl oor,
garden-theme wallpaper, and hemp cage light have
a relaxing aura that lightens the space.
4. Two petite, separate vanities serve the same
purpose as the previous two-sink unit but without
crowding the room. Their small structure allows a
makeup vanity to also fit into the space.

THE SOLUTIONS1. A loveseat replaces the unused tub. It’s a
dramatic change that doesn’t alter the available
space—but does create a more intimate setting.
2. Taking risks with new products, like the boldly
patterned concrete fl ooring and dramatic wallpaper,
pays off when the elements are paired with more
traditional finishes, silhouettes, and fabrics. The
result is a stylish and tailored high-end look.
3. Installing both rain-style and handheld
fixtures upgrades the shower to a more
spa-like experience.
4. Running the same fl ooring throughout the
bath (including the shower) creates a visual
consistency that, paired with the glass shower
enclosure, makes the space appear larger. The
design tricks the eye into seeing the shower as
connected to the main area of the fl oor plan.

ive years in a cramped kitchen can
be more than a lesson in frustration.
For Diane and Lawrence Millar, it was
the tutorial that helped them define
precisely what they wanted in a kitchen
addition to their circa-1920s home in
Westchester County, New York.
“After living that long with a small, old-fashioned
kitchen, we knew how we wanted our new space to
look and work when we built it onto the back of the
house in 2011,” Diane says. Their dream kitchen teams
her sophisticated aesthetic—clean-lined and moody—
with high-performance features fine-tuned for the
couple and their 7-year-old daughter, Mirabel.
Twice the size of the original, the new 20×20-foot
space ensured enough room for everything on their
wish list. “Previously, we had an island but no room for
a table,” Diane says. “We wanted a true eat-in kitchen,
with both. We wanted space for Mirabel to do art
projects and hang out with friends while I cook.”
That feel-good gathering place is a breakfast area
bathed in natural light from four tall windows. The kid-
friendly vinyl banquette is a cheery sunfl ower hue. “It’s
poppy in this room of moody grays,” Diane says.
The kitchen’s large scale allowed Diane to “take the
plunge” and forgo hanging cabinets for sleek metal
shelves—one of her favorite features. “I love the

openness and cleanness of the modern steel shelves.”
The shelves’ streamlined look is enhanced by
a backsplash of handmade off -white ceramic tiles.
Warmth and depth come from an ebony-stained oak
fl oor, pale gray cabinets, and a deeper blue-gray island
topped with a thick maple butcher-block counter. “The
kitchen has an almost bistro feel,” Diane says. In fact,
its inspiration was her favorite California restaurant.
To ensure adequate storage, the Millars calculated
their needs down to the cubic inch. Then architect
Bjorn Slate built a deep pantry that wraps around
the built-in fridge. On the opposite wall, a bespoke
fl oor-to-ceiling cabinet gets more specialized: One of
its doors houses a much-used cordless vacuum. Lower
drawers organize Mirabel’s school supplies. The center
bump-out is a not-so-typical beverage station.
“We’re not coff ee drinkers,” Diane says. “We’re
more of a sweet-tooth family. This is where we make
milkshakes, hot chocolate, and smoothies.” The
cabinet’s design and placement allow their commercial
milkshake machine and blender to remain conveniently
out in the open without being in the way.
“We knew how we wanted to use the kitchen for
our family,” Diane says. “We didn’t feel any pressure to
make it conform to what other people might want.” KBI

Serendipity, perhaps. But when a certain country-French-inspired
home in Provo, Utah, came on the market, Andrea and James
Clarke were ready to sign the contract before they had even set foot
inside. “I remember the excitement I felt when we fi rst walked in,”
says Andrea, who had driven by the home with James repeatedly,
watching for a “For Sale” sign. One day, as if by magic, the sign
appeared—and the home quickly changed hands.
A collaboration between architectural designer Craig Peterson
and builder Kevin Brooks, the custom home was originally built
for interior designer Desirée Brooks (Kevin’s daughter) and her
husband, Matt. Desirée had wanted a distinctly foreign fl avor,
particularly in the kitchen, where vintage-inspired details,
warm wood accents, and subtle color balance the room’s
generous proportions.

to take advantage of sunlight and views. ABOVE: New wicker chairs
with the distressed look of vintage French furniture pull up to the
island’s dining side. Ceiling beams are poplar stained to match the
room’s fl ooring.
“Desirée wanted something that was a bit country but a little
formal as well,” says Peterson, who also ensured that the kitchen
would comfortably cater to its owners’ cooking, storage, and
entertaining needs. A large island, designed to resemble an oversize
country table, anchors the room, off ering ample space for food prep,
serving, and casual dining. Steps from the island, a French stove
tucks into a niche framed with wood beams and clad in blue-green
ceramic subway tile.
Kitty-corner from the stove, a glass-front refrigerator hints at
the space’s hardworking capability, and an apron-front sink adds
another vintage touch. Open shelves put everyday dinnerware on
display and highlight the room’s casually elegant vibe.
For Andrea, who entertains often and cooks for a family that
includes three young children, her kitchen—like her home—retains
its initial appeal. “I think the kitchen has nurtured our children’s
desire to learn to cook, because with all that space, it’s easy for them
to pull up a step stool and get in on the action.” KBI

—that’s what Dana and Jeremy Sacks say they got when they
purchased their foursquare house in Portland, Oregon. And it
culminated in a kitchen that Jeremy describes as “a symphony of
mismatched reds.”
But the house had good bones, and the couple loved the
neighborhood. So they gave the kitchen a budget remodel
(“inoff ensive vinyl fl ooring and laminate countertops,” Jeremy
recalls) and lived with it until the home’s sloping foundation was
lifted and rebuilt as a prelude to a whole-house remodel. Dana
and Jeremy hired architects Melody Emerick and Geno Salimena
of Emerick Architects, who listened to the couple’s priorities (a
breakfast nook and better traffi c fl ow) and figured out how to
update the kitchen while retaining the home’s vintage character.
Two key improvements helped the Sacks’ dream kitchen
emerge. First, a 4-foot addition to the back of the house permitted
both a breakfast nook and enhanced access to the backyard.
Second, the architects rearranged wasted spaces—including
an existing staircase—to enlarge the kitchen and improve
circulation. “We’re big fans of capturing ineff icient spaces you
didn’t know were there and using them where you really need
them,” Emerick says. With a smarter footprint, the kitchen was
ready to be transformed into a highly functional space.

with its oiled butcher-
block top, microwave
oven, and storage for
knives, pots, and pans.
The key to a seamless transition? “Start with the bones,”
Emerick says. The architects made sure the room’s proportion
felt right with the rest of the house. They added new wood
windows to match the quality, size, and detailing of the originals,
and duplicated existing millwork for visual continuity. “Case trim
is the fi rst thing you see,” Emerick says. “It has to look right.”
Furniture-style cabinets are also important to vintage design,
Emerick says. That led them to incorporate full-insert doors and
drawers and vertical-grain fir construction. “You can see the face
frame around the inset; that’s very old-school,” Emerick says of
the Shaker-style cabinets.
New period-appropriate surfaces include a backsplash of
small-scale white subway tiles, oak fl ooring, and a butcher-block
top for the island. Perimeter countertops are quartz-surfacing
that mimics gray limestone.
Commercial-style appliances make it clear this kitchen lives
in the 21st century. The Sacks and the architects were in total
agreement about the style dichotomy. “We needed a kitchen that
functions well for people who actually cook,” Jeremy says.
Dana sees the transformed kitchen as the hub of the Sackses’
family life, whether it is homework at the island or home-cooked
meals in the breakfast nook. “We fixed everything we hated”
about the house and the kitchen, she says. “This new kitchen
changed our life.” KBI

s helby Campion considers dish duty a pleasure,
not a chore, thanks to the view from her kitchen
sink to Oregon’s Oswego Lake—and thanks, too,
to interior designer Jennifer Baines, who knocked
down a wall to welcome watery views, hues, and materials into the
Campions’ new kitchen.
What do you love the most about your new kitchen? It was my
mom’s idea to reposition the sink so I’d have a view of the lake. I just
love it. I’m watching a bald eagle fish for dinner right now! It’s nice
to get meditative, and then suddenly the dishes are done. Well, it’s as
meditative as it can be with three kids and two dogs running around.
Speaking of kids, how does your kitchen stay so sparkling?It’s highly functional to have the sink be somewhat central so you can
clean as you go. In our previous homes, I had two sinks—but I could
never quite figure out what to do with the second sink, so we skipped
that here. One big sink in the right place is all I need.
I also think the kitchen has a clean look because we kept it simple
and graphic. There’s a lot of contrast: really dark fl oors and a bright
white counter. Both are easy to clean. I’ve had marble counters, which
etch the minute you set something down on them. I’ve had granite,
which shows every water spot. And now I have CaesarStone, which is
fantastic. My daughter accidentally colored on the island with crayon,
and all I had to do was whip out my Magic Eraser. Done!

But don’t those open shelves get dusty? No, because those dishes are all in rotation
all the time, so there’s no opportunity for dust to build up. Plus, they
keep me honest. I can’t get away with shoving things behind closed
doors, since it’s all visible.
So is your refrigerator! That was a
nonnegotiable, must-have for me. I’m not into cars or jewelry or
designer clothes, but I really wanted that glass-front refrigerator.
I posted a picture of it on Facebook and got more comments than
when people post pictures of their new babies!
Is it difficult to live with? Not
at all, because I’m pretty organized. Though one thing I hadn’t
thought about is that there are no shelves on the refrigerator door—
which, again, keeps me honest. I can’t stockpile dribs and drabs of
condiments, like the Thai chile sauce you revisit two years later. I
have to go through it and clean things out more frequently.
What are your favorite family-friendly features? Well, besides being able
to erase crayon marks from the counters, I like how the kids can
eat most of their meals at the island. In our old house, we had a
breakfast table in a nook, and I always felt separated from everyone.
I also love how there’s no real table-clearing to do. Everyone just
passes their dishes over to the sink. It’s so much easier. KBI

architects Fred Wilson and Elissa Morgante, the story is familiar.
Chapter One: An excited couple falls in love with an old house.
Chapter Two: They eventually realize that their new home is ill-suited
to modern living. Chapter Three: The couple dreams about making
changes. Chapter Four: Morgante and Wilson receive a call for help.
Like all good stories, however, this one has a plot twist. “It turns
out our clients’ taste had evolved to become a lot more contemporary
than their house,” Morgante says. “They’re busy parents and craved a
kitchen that would be the center of everything that goes on. They never
thought we could make that work in a house that dates from 1893.”
Resourceful characters themselves, Morgante and Wilson
transformed the outdated kitchen into the edgy hub the homeowners
wished for by taking a novel approach. “We took out walls,” Morgante
says, “which opened up the fl oor plan and automatically made the space
feel much more contemporary.” They installed steel beams to support
the house, then unabashedly used them as a daring design statement.
TO HUSBAND-AND-WIFE
LEFT: Everyday dishware is showcased inside upper cabinets rimmed in
stainless steel and backed by windows. The softly textured glass doors
allow natural light to pass into the kitchen. BELOW LEFT: Simple mosaic glass
tiles cover the range wall. “This kitchen is all about strong architectural
lines,” architect Elissa Morgante says. “To interrupt those lines with a fussy
focal point at the range would have been inappropriate.” BELOW MIDDLE: The

“We needed the beams for structural reasons, of course, but we decided
to go a step further and actually celebrate them,” Wilson says.
Equally defining is the bold mix of finishes and materials—some
industrial, others earthy—that characterizes the room, from concrete
countertops and bamboo cabinets to cedar paneling, a graphite island,
and a zinc dining table. “They’re not necessarily familiar materials to
use in a kitchen,” Morgante says, “but using them in concert creates an
organic kind of texture and warmth. This way, the kitchen is clean-
lined but still friendly. If, for example, we had done the room with all-
white cabinets and a black countertop, it would have been too starkly
contemporary for such an old house.”
Still, certain aspects of its design—such as the highly eff icient layout
and the breakfast room addition—are as current as can be. “Everything
in this kitchen is right at your fingertips,” Wilson says. “It’s got a bar,
an off ice, an island, and multiple work spaces. It welcomes guests while
keeping them out of the cook’s way. It’s a real counterpoint to the
original kitchen, which had you walking all over just to make dinner.”
A happy ending, indeed. KBI

It’s no wonder. “My clients are very

Indeed, English-style cabinetry painted a
warm greenish gray, dramatic crown moldings,
and warm wood tones from nostalgic honey
hues to striking black deliver classic elegance.
“Our clients have a quirky sense of style and
were willing to take some risks,” Anthony says.
To wit: Flowerpot chandeliers dangle over
the island, while a plaid backsplash climbs the
walls. “We were after the look of a Burberry
trench coat,” Anthony says, “and made the
pattern up ourselves by using tiles in diff erent
sizes and colors.” A charcoal drawing of a cow

a distressed island topped with walnut. “We
wanted it to work like a comfortable table,

guests can easily help themselves. Even the

factor, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more striking element than a fire-engine-
red range hood. It’s one of the many unexpected design choices in this remodeled
Westchester County, New York, kitchen, which went from dull and dated to fresh and
contemporary with the help of interior designer Susan Marocco, cabinetmaker Anthony
Maucieri, and project coordinator Bill Lucia.
The original kitchen, Marocco says, had dark-stained wood cabinetry and an odd,
vaguely trapezoidal island topped with black marble and fitted with a built-in cooktop.
The cooktop was placed so that you faced an interior door while you worked, with your
back to the view out the windows. A small butler’s pantry tucked by the dining room
entry lacked both style and effi ciency, and the whole space felt heavy and dated. The
design team decided that a total gut was in order. The goal: create a light, open, and
contemporary space that would comfortably accommodate large family get-togethers—
without disregarding the traditional style of the 1926 home.
Bumping out one end of the kitchen with a bay window created a more generously
proportioned breakfast area. The butler’s pantry, reinvented as a full-fl edged bar, gained a
larger sink, a wine cooler, an icemaker, and better storage. A new French door, providing
access to a small deck added off the sink wall, opened the space up to more light.
EVERY KITCHEN NEEDS A WOW
OPPOSITE: It took 16 coats of red automotive enamel to get the perfect saturated hue for

102 KITCHEN + BATH IDEAS SPRING 2014
One of the design team’s earliest decisions was to cover the fl oor with a white marble
tile featuring pale gray striations. A closer look at the fl oor, however, revealed it was very
uneven, making tile impractical. So they discarded the material—but not the idea. The
tile’s pattern served as the inspiration for the cabinets, which Maucieri painted with a
subtle gray strié. An all-gray kitchen would have felt too modern for the Georgian-style
home, so Marocco mixed in riftsawn-oak fl oors in a warm honeyed stain and an oak island
stained a deeper brown. Two tones of gray concrete countertops—light on the island,
darker on the perimeter—and a backsplash of attractively gray-grained Carrara marble
tile give the room plenty of textural variety and interest.
But the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the hood. Lucia bought a standard stainless-
steel hood and had an auto-body shop spray it with 16 coats of car enamel to get the
stunningly saturated red the clients wanted. Meanwhile, Marocco picked up that shade
in the breakfast area’s chairs, providing the room with just the right color balance. The
design team and homeowners are delighted with the outcome. “It went from a very
traditional dark kitchen,” Marocco says, “to something you wouldn’t expect in a Georgian
Colonial home like this.” KBI

he answer was right there in black and
white. Faced with a client who wanted
a transitional space as well as a fresh
take on a white kitchen, Toronto
interior designer Jennifer Worts
designed a room with the appeal of
a classic tuxedo, punctuating the
space’s white cabinetry with crisp black trim.
“We wanted it to be sophisticated but comfortable
and livable,” she says. “We loved bringing the rich
tone of the dark fl oors up into the cabinets without
overpowering them. We also loved the graphic look.”
Worts had worked on the family’s country home
and knew the homeowners wanted a bit more formality,
but no stuffi ness, in their city home. “It’s a house
where every room is used,” she says. “They know how
to entertain and how to make people feel at home.”
Touches of light blue—the homeowner’s favorite
color—appear in accessories and the professional-style
range. While the less adventurous may have shied
away from a colorful appliance, it was among the fi rst
things the designer and homeowner chose for the new
kitchen. “It seemed like the perfect place to inject
some color,” Worts says.

Other smart choices: an industrial-inspired,
restaurant-style gooseneck faucet and stainless-steel
undermount sink, handblown glass pendants over a
spacious island, and timeless Calacatta marble on the
backsplash and countertops that references and unifies
the kitchen’s dark and light hues.
Good looks didn’t trump practicality, though.
Roomy cabinets on both sides of the island, a large
fl oor-to-ceiling pantry on one wall, deep drawers for
pots on both sides of the range, and a butler’s pantry
between the kitchen and formal dining room off er
plenty of out-of-sight storage, especially important
because the kitchen is open to the family room.
The homeowner’s two young boys often perch
at the island to eat or do homework (Worts chose
durable faux-leather chairs and purposely put the
“busy” section of the marble where they eat to help
camoufl age stains), but the far end of the kitchen also
off ers seating in the form of a breakfast area with a
table and curved custom bench. “I loved the idea of the
bench rather than the more expected six chairs,” the
designer says. “It’s cozy, fun, and diff erent.”
The same can be said about the entire space, which
welcomes—and works for—all ages. KBI

eborah Sitkoff has been a quilter for
years, so she appreciates the art of
combining colors and textures. Her
Atlanta kitchen layers handmade
items, heirlooms, and furniturelike
details for a cozy feel that reminds
Deborah of her favorite quilts.
The casual, colorful style was important, but the room
had to function well, too. “I cook or bake almost daily, so this
kitchen gets hard use,” Deborah says. This serious cook didn’t
like the existing builder-grade kitchen, where she had to walk
a mile to make a meal. “It had no fl ow, and everything was far
from everything else,” Deborah says. So first on her wish list
was an effi cient work triangle. Second, she wanted separate
areas for cooking and baking. An antique pine cabinet and
a farm-style table needed to be incorporated, too, as did an
existing stainless-steel refrigerator.
“Deborah definitely wanted an ‘unfitted’ kitchen, yet
everything had to go together and be practical,” says kitchen
designer Matthew Quinn of Design Galleria. “She also wanted
a country-in-the-city look with materials of yesteryear.”

storage, and a trash receptacle. RIGHT: Colorful

A vivid blue Viking range provided the starting point. “I’ve
always been a ‘blue’ person, and the other colors came from
that,” Deborah says. Quinn chose a traditional cabinet style
painted a buttery yellow to pair with the range, then designed a
blue hutch for even more punch. A hefty pine cabinet brings in
the warmth of wood and serves as Deborah’s baking center. Slate
tiles as a backsplash around the range show another quiltlike
combination of blue, yellow, and red tones.
The layout allows Deborah to reach everything quickly and
eff iciently, while still providing space for more than one person
to work. The island serves as the prep center for many tasks
and includes drawers to fi t everyday items. “We measured every
pot and pan, utensil, small appliance, and dish to make sure
everything had a home,” Quinn says. It also includes a custom-
fabricated soapstone sink large enough to hide a dinner party’s
worth of plates to keep the kitchen looking clean.
Deborah loves that friends and family come into the kitchen
and know there will be something sweet (freshly baked, of
course) on the counter, or they’ll snoop around to find soups
or other creations. “The kitchen should be the happiest place in
your home,” she says. “We make our memories there.” KBI

of patience and planning when tackling a major
renovation. So when she and her husband, Keith,
bought an early 1970s Colonial in Cape Elizabeth,
Maine, they decided to live with the existing kitchen
for a year before beginning a two-stage “gut and
rebuild.” Their goals—a kid-friendly space that would
still fit an adult lifestyle and aesthetic, an island
off ering plenty of seating for their family of five, and
improved traffi c fl ow—meant that everything had to
change, starting with the room dimensions.
“The kitchen was poorly set up,” says Tina, co-owner
of Kitchen Cove Cabinetry & Design in Portland,
Maine. “The space was closed off from the rest of the
house, making it feel small and dark, and the only
downstairs bath was accessed through the kitchen,
creating unwanted foot traffi c through the room.”
To solve these problems, Tina extended the
kitchen farther into the family room and relocated
the awkwardly placed bathroom to a new spot off the
children’s computer area. She then refreshed the look
with painted cabinets in a mix of soft gray and white,
large windows, stainless-steel appliances, and a custom
mosaic tile backsplash behind the range. An 11-foot-
long island, with a movable butcher-block-topped cart

at one end and a round, attached counter-height table

One of the biggest challenges involved multiple
soff its that concealed plumbing for the home’s upper
level. Removing the plumbing wasn’t an option, so
Tina consolidated the soff its in the ceiling along the
exterior wall and incorporated a mantel-style hood
above the range—a solution that ultimately drove the
direction of the overall design.
Other choices were infl uenced by the youngest
members of the family—for example, quartz-surfacing
instead of marble countertops. “It looks and feels like
marble but is incredibly durable, resilient, nonporous,
and nearly impervious, which is ideal when you have
three young children,” Tina says.
Says Tina, “I love that my kitchen has transformed
from a once-dreary and confusing room into a highly
functional, spacious, and cheerful space that I can
appreciate every day.” KBI

A tiny Toronto bath gets a big-time update that leaves the owner singing its praises.

wish list for a 10×8-foot hall bath. “When Matt told me he wanted a
full-size tub and shower, double sink, and storage, I laughed,” says
Toronto designer Yanic Simard, who worked with homeowner Matt
Dusk on refreshing the 1963-era space. Add further requests for a
“wow” factor and better acoustics (Matt, a professional singer, often
rehearses in the shower), and the task seemed almost insurmountable.
Simard devised a design that provided all of this and more. “My
overall goal was to create the illusion of a larger space by using every
available inch,” he says. “I also wanted something elegant with a retro
style to match the decor of Matt’s home, but I wanted to keep it edgy.”
Working with the existing layout, he swapped the standard tub
and showerhead for a shower/tub combo, squeezed in a double vanity,
and borrowed space from an adjacent closet for additional storage.
Replacing the swing-in door with a pocket door created better fl ow.
For the wow factor, Simard looked to the fl oor, where an eye-
catching mosaic made of recycled marble now presides. “It’s especially
great when the sun comes out,” Matt says. “It shimmers like a
diamond.” Large marble tiles on the walls complement the mosaic
fl oor but don’t compete with it. The marble-clad walls also help unify
the space and make it appear larger. “The key is to use vertical space as
much as you can,” Simard says.
Matt is thrilled with the final results—as well as the acoustics.
“When you have a lot of hard surfaces, it makes for pretty good
sound,” he says. KBI

NEUTRAL LIGHT, COOL BREEZES,luxurious finishes, sparkling accents … these delightful elements

less of a restful oasis and more of a rest stop. When the owners
enlisted Chalet Development in Denver to build their new house,
they brought a vision of a design that puts family at the heart of
the home—and circulating through its arteries.
“This bathroom was a cog in the wheel as I designed the entire
residence from scratch,” architectural designer John Mattingly
says. “They are a young family that wanted a smaller, more
intimate master—a place of retreat, but not of escape. They didn’t
want a giant bed-and-bath suite that would suggest isolation from
the rest of the house and beg for their attention, taking away from
what the home was all about—family.”
The project also included one of the great challenges of
modern bathroom design: incorporating a freestanding tub into
a space with a smaller footprint. The home’s Italianate/Greek
Revival farmhouse style begged for the innate appeal of a claw-

foot tub and an equally commanding vanity. Mattingly delivered
both by carefully considering function and fl ow. “The vanity is on
the opposite wall from the bath’s entry, so it anchors that sight
line, and the tub sits across from the vanity,” he says. “The water
closet and shower live in a bay separated from the master entry
hall, with the master closet on the other side.”
Lighting and air circulation can also be concerns in compact
areas, but this home is rich with natural elements, and the master
bathroom is no exception. A window next to the vanity brings
evening light into the room at precisely the time the homeowners
may be getting ready for a night out. Between the dual sinks,
another window off ers morning light but hides behind a large
crabapple tree outside for privacy. When that window is open, it
creates a cross-breeze from the bath through to the bedroom’s
fl oor-to-ceiling windows. Now that’s good circulation and fl ow,
welcoming to all. KBI

A WAY-BEHIND-THE-TIMES BATH
GETS A FRESH LOOK THAT MAKES
THE MOST OF A SMALL FOOTPRINT.Before: Pink fl oors, walls, fixtures, and furniture dominate.

ig changes delighted visitors to the 2012 DC Design House.
A then-and-now transformation of the upper-level guest
bathroom compared the modern redesign with Before
photographs of the passé-in-pink bathroom.
“People were very positive about the makeover and
couldn’t believe it was done in less than a month,” says Allie Mann, the project designer
responsible for the redo. “We gutted the room but didn’t change its footprint or
plumbing. But since the bath sits in a dormer, it did present some height challenges.”
Mann sought to maximize both style and space. She removed a bidet, capped its
plumbing, and replaced it with a charming window seat. Slightly taller and wider than
their dated predecessors, semicustom vanities were chosen for their stylish silhouettes,
storage capacity, and roomy countertops. The existing tub and enclosure gave way to a
frameless walk-in shower. “Inches can make all the diff erence,” Mann says. “By pulling
that shower wall out a bit into the room, we were able to create a spacious shower.”
Though the room has a primarily tone-on-tone palette, interest runs high thanks to a
variety of white shades in dissimilar forms, finishes, and materials, which make the space
appear larger and brighter. White porcelain fl oor tiles in a matte finish contrast with
the shower’s glossier subway tiles and inset mosaic. Polished-nickel faucets, hardware,
and light fixtures pick up on the marble’s veining and subtly carry that color around the
space. Soft green vertical stripes on the walls create the illusion of more height.
Now the dated bath is spilling over with ageless appeal. KBI

OPPOSITE: Soft green vertical stripes painted atop
an off -white base coat add color and height to
the room. ABOVE LEFT: Polished-nickel pulls with
a contemporary bent match the shimmer of
the sink and shower fixtures and the sconces.
ABOVE MIDDLE: Designer Allie Mann selected old-
fashioned sconces rendered in a modern metal,
and she placed them to frame mirrors with a
bevel edge. ABOVE RIGHT: Mann turned the tide
on traditional by outfitting the shower with
elongated subway tiles that present vintage
shapes in more-modern 4×12-inch forms. An
inset of 1×1-inch mosaic tiles adds interesting
texture to the white-on-white mix. LEFT: A
custom window seat provides storage beneath
its piano-hinged top.
TakeawaysLeaving plumbing lines
in place but replacing
the fixtures saves money
and time.
A mix of tones and
textures adds interest to
white finishes.
Vertical stripes and
a barely-there shower
door make a small room
seem larger.
Ditching dated fixtures
that are unused or
oversize frees up space
for a more eff icient layout
and better design.

DESIGN TIP
Interior designer Kerith Flynn ticked off every wish on her extensive list when renovating the master bathroom she shares with her husband, Steve, in their
Manhasset, New York, home. By eliminating the room’s massive
bathtub, Kerith made way for possibilities aplenty.
Kerith and her partner at Margali and Flynn Designs, Christine
Ranieri, stretched their imaginations as they attempted to stretch the
bath’s existing space to accommodate dual vanities, two closets, a walk-
in shower, and a space-stealing window required by local building codes.
“This bathroom project made me think outside of the box,” Kerith
says. “We worked within the existing footprint, but shrunk it a bit by
adding the closets. I wanted it to still feel expansive, so we did that glass
shower, the large mirrors, and the French doors on the linen closet.”
Kerith’s fl oor plan brought the walk-in closet about 4 feet into the
bathroom space, which created an alcove for the toilet. Meanwhile, a
linen closet beside the entry door steps a few feet into the room. Kerith
more than made up for the loss of square footage by introducing bright
and breezy elements that amplify light and magnify the sense of space.
She carried a calming cream, wheat, gray, and white color scheme
around the room via paneled wainscoting, fl oor and shower tiles,
Carrara marble countertops, and prettily patterned wallpaper. Chrome
fittings and clean-lined furnishings provide contemporary counterpoints
that give the space an unexpected edge.
“I used big mirrors because I wanted to hang those cool lights,”
Kerith says, referring to the large rectangular drum pendants above each
vanity. “The shades pick up on the wheat-color tiles in the shower.”
Kerith says these monochromatic harmonies, natural nuances,
and easy interplay of textures are what turn a smallish bathroom into
a sensational sanctuary. “Because all the colors blend, but appear in
diff erent ways and materials, our bathroom really has a spa feel and a
real sense of style,” she says. “It turned out perfectly!” KBI

TakeawaysOpting not to have a
bathtub leaves space for
more desired features.
Smart space planning and
a nontraditional layout
can accommodate both
function and style.
Wallpaper with subtle
color adds interest but
doesn’t compete with
graphic and colorful tile
patterns.
Embracing adjacent
spaces, such as closets,
boosts a bath’s function.

This is the front line of one of the most successful energy conservation
movements in history. For the past 20 years, simply by saving energy
with EPA’s ENERGY STAR® program, people across America have come
together to reduce the greenhouse gases that cause climate change. The
results are amazing — more than 1.8 billion metric tons of greenhouse
gas emissions prevented and over $230 billion saved on utility bills.
Real results in the face of the real challenge of climate change.
