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.

thoughtful planning and patience. (They lived with their existing
space for a year to determine just what changes they wanted to make.)

 all about color

colorful language
WARM: 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 reflects.

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.

14 KITCHEN + BATH IDEAS SPRING 2014
FROM THE EARTH
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.
70
Never 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.

When sampling paint colors for

walls or cabinetry, check the
color throughout the day and
night, and in various lighting.

MAKE A STATEMENT
In 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,
coffers, 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 offer 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.

At 144 square feet, the U-shape

and cabinetry that reaches all the way

room to be a hardworking dynamo.
“There’s functional work space with a

Neither was bath designer Tanya
Woods. “This is the only bath serving
the main-floor 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
floor 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.

One of Maria’s favorite
improvements is the lighting. When
guests are expected, she turns off the 7x10

lights up a mosaic-lined niche and the
long mirror, which is subtly backlit.
“It’s welcoming and elegant,” Maria

 f 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 sunflower 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
floor, 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
floor-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 coffee 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

“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, offering 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

 NINETY YEARS OF BAD TASTE —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
R/F mismatched reds.”
But the house had good bones, and the couple loved the
neighborhood. So they gave the kitchen a budget remodel
DW 12x14
(“inoffensive vinyl flooring 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
MW
and Jeremy hired architects Melody Emerick and Geno Salimena
of Emerick Architects, who listened to the couple’s priorities (a
breakfast nook and better traffic flow) 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 inefficient 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.

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 floors 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

“This kitchen is
always full of kids,
friends, family, dogs,
and of course food,”
interior designer Susan Anthony says. “It is
everyone’s favorite place to be.”
It’s no wonder. “My clients are very
generous hosts,” Anthony says, “and love to
share their summer home with guests. They
invite people to stay with them and their three
teenage children nearly every weekend. Sailing,
swimming, golf, tennis, and lots of good eating

The home’s Southampton, New York, setting

is another. Hot coffee, freshly squeezed juices,
and warm-from-the-oven muffins routinely
greet sleepy guests; much later, as the sun
sets, the house fills with the aroma of home-
cooked dinners. “I cannot imagine a more
comfortable—or comforting—kitchen to be in,”
Anthony says of the space she designed with
then-partner Maureen Wright. “It’s new, but it
feels timeless, as though it’s always been here.”
Even so, she says, “There’s something fresh
about it that’s almost a little bit funky.”

factor, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more striking element than a fire-engine-

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. wine
The original kitchen, Marocco says, had dark-stained wood cabinetry and an odd,

entry lacked both style and efficiency, and the whole space felt heavy and dated. The DW
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 AREA

transitional Toronto kitchen that is fancy but not fussy.
writer and field editor KHRISTI S. ZIMMETH photographer STACEY BRANDFORD
 t 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 floors 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 stuffiness, 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 first
things the designer and homeowner chose for the new
kitchen. “It seemed like the perfect place to inject
some color,” Worts says.

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
floor-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 offer
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
camouflage stains), but the far end of the kitchen also
offers 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 different.”
The same can be said about the entire space, which
welcomes—and works for—all ages. KBI

TWIN PASSIONS FOR COOKING
AND QUILTING INSPIRE A COZY,
COUNTRY-STYLE KITCHEN.
writer and field editor LISA MOWRY
photographer ANTHONY-MASTERSON
 d 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 flow, and everything was far
from everything else,” Deborah says. So first on her wish list
was an efficient 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
efficiently, 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 fit 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

As a professional
kitchen designer, Tina
Rodda knows the value
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
offering plenty of seating for their family of five, and
improved traffic flow—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 traffic 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 the other, offers seating and prep space. Padded
barstools and upholstered chairs at the island add
softness and color for a welcoming touch.
One of the biggest challenges involved multiple
soffits that concealed plumbing for the home’s upper
level. Removing the plumbing wasn’t an option, so
Tina consolidated the soffits 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 influenced 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

Working with the existing layout, he swapped the standard tub

and borrowed space from an adjacent closet for additional storage.
Replacing the swing-in door with a pocket door created better flow.
For the wow factor, Simard looked to the floor, where an eye-

b 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 difference,” 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 floor 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

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 floor 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, floor and shower tiles,
Carrara marble countertops, and prettily patterned wallpaper. Chrome
fittings and clean-lined furnishings provide contemporary counterpoints

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.
