Thats right. Snap a picture now, while your kitchen or bath still
looks like a dark, dated, depressing rabbit hole. Believe me, weve
seen worse. And even when we think weve 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 its
a placeand spaceto 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 Roddas fresh, breezy kitchen in Cape
Elizabeth, Maine (page 116). Its eicient layout and stylish materials
belie its origins as a closed-o room that did little to welcome the
Roddas young family. Now its 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, Oregonand
the ill-conceived kitchen was among the worst oenders. But a gut
remodel and addition completely transformed the way the space looks
and functions (page 74).
And then theres the 2012 DC Design House bath remodel, a
project spearheaded by designer Allie Mann. Out went the cottoncandy pink decor and egregious use of oral wallpaper, and in came
a crisp green-and-white palette, clean-lined fixtures, and abundant
cottage charm (page 130). Its one of my all-time favorite before-andafters. And it proves, like all the featured makeovers in this issue, that
even the worst Before can have a happily ever After.

bring it home
Check out the Better Homes and

Gardens COLOR book, which
features smart tips, color- and
pattern-choosing advice, and
specific paint palettes for every
room of the home. Look for it at
your local bookseller ($20).
NEUTRAL
ZONE
Shades of white,
black, brown, and
gray are the most
pervasive colors in
kitchens and baths
(wood 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.

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 colors 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 reects.
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.
The number of colors out

there can be overwhelming.
But dont be afraid to try
something to brighten your
kitchen that will make a
personal statement.
Samantha Thorpe
editor, Color Made Easy

from the pros
Pale shades are more flexible for

pairing with other colors. When
you think youve found the hue, go
a step or two lighter on the paint
swatch strip, and youll likely be
much happier with the outcome.
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,
coers, and beams arent your style, try
simply adding a fresh color overhead.
A colorful big-ticket item, such as a
range or freestanding tub, can oer 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.

all about
color
island appeal
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, its an ideal
place for playing with colors and finishes.

a strong
finish
FLAT
A paints finish can be

as important as the
color, especially in busy,
hardworking rooms like
kitchens and baths. Heres
a quick guide to the most
common types.
MATTE FINISH: Rich and
almost velvety looking,
matte does not reect light.
It produces a dramatic look
but is hard to cleannot
suited for kitchens or baths.
SATIN
SATIN FINISH: Its slight

shine gives walls more
dimension and makes it a
bit easier to clean than at
or matte paint.
KEEP CALM
Pink! Not only is it feminine, but its

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.
FROM THE PROS:

Make wall color your last
decision in a makeover.
Cabinets, countertops,
ooring, and even
appliances should be
chosen rst. Walls are
usually the easiest and
least expensive element to
change to perfect your look.
FLAT FINISH: Almost

chalky in appearance, at
paints dull finish can show
wear, so its not the best
choice for busy rooms.
SEMIGLOSS
SEMIGLOSS FINISH:
This finish reects a lot of
lightand stands up to a
lot of wearso its ideal for
kitchens and baths.
HIGH-GLOSS FINISH: A
hard finish thats durable
and easy to clean, but
beware: The vibrant sheen
will show fingerprints and
smudges, and emphasize
surface imperfections.

all about
color
pattern play
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 theyre in the same
color scheme. Youll 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 balanceyou
dont want the patterns running into each other.
best in the bath
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, spalike 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
baths palette work for your lifestyle.
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.
Samantha Thorpe
editor, Color Made Easy
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
912-inch film sticks to the wall and is easily
removablesaving the hassle of priming and
painting. Learn more online at sureswatch.com,
then pick it up at Home Depot for about $1.

Kitchens and baths shine a

little brighter with the right
mix of lighting fixtures.
writer Katie RynaRd
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 attentiongrabbing 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 youll find
stunning fixtures to light your kitchen
or bath. Ready, set, glow!

TWO FOR ONE IN THE BATH?
Q:
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 its just me? Is it better for resale down the road
to keep it as is?
T. Freeman, via e-mail
A:
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

PERFECTLY
PETITE
This little gem of a kitchen

makes room for everything
its owners want, including
a stunning view.
writer WENDY GRAY
stylist and photographer JAMES YOCHUM
field editor GISELA ROSE
40
ITS 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, certied kitchen designer
Liz Firebaugh says. For example, we
specied 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 benets from high ceilings
and cabinetry that reaches all the way
up to them. Firebaugh designed the
room to be a hardworking dynamo.
Theres 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, theres
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.

FACED WITH A DISMAL, crowded hall
bath, you might not expect much

from a remodel. But Maria and Paul
Johnston set their expectations
highand 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.
Its 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 wasnt willing to
sacrifice either one.
Neither was bath designer Tanya
Woods. This is the only bath serving
the main-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
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 nichesone in the showerwith
open shelving.
For her next space-expanding trick,
the designer oated custom wenge
wood cabinetry o the oor, so the
lines of the oor extend from wall to
wall. Its amazing how big a dierence
this makes, Maria says. Woods also
made generous use of mirrors and
glass. The reective surfaces create
the illusion of more space while
amplifying light throughout the bath.
Eurochic 424-inch porcelain wall tile
extends to the ceilingcontinuing
behind cabinets to eliminate awkward
cuts. The clean lines draw your eye

around the room, Woods says.
One of Marias favorite
improvements is the lighting. When
guests are expected, she turns o the
recessed cans, dims the pendants, and
lights up a mosaic-lined niche and the
long mirror, which is subtly backlit.
Its welcoming and elegant, Maria
says, with a little sexiness.
Her insistence that everything
be practical as well as beautiful has
definitely paid o. Soon after the 2010
remodel, this bath became splash
central for Paul and Marias 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
OPPOSITE: Luxe tile and oating
cabinetry distinguish this Euro-inspired
bath. ABOVE LEFT: Because the sink and
dressing table are slightly oset from
each other, its easier to maneuver in
the small bath. ABOVE MIDDLE: Tucked
into the wall, shelves oer discreet

THE SOLUTIONS
1. Ditching the separate toilet and shower rooms

allowed for an open 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 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.

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 aestheticclean-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 2020-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 kidfriendly vinyl banquette is a cheery sunower hue. Its

openness and cleanness of the modern steel shelves.

The shelves streamlined look is enhanced by
a backsplash of handmade o-white ceramic tiles.
Warmth and depth come from an ebony-stained oak
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
oor-to-ceiling cabinet gets more specialized: One of
its doors houses a much-used cordless vacuum. Lower
drawers organize Mirabels school supplies. The center
bump-out is a not-so-typical beverage station.
Were not coee drinkers, Diane says. Were
more of a sweet-tooth family. This is where we make
milkshakes, hot chocolate, and smoothies. The
cabinets 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 didnt feel any pressure to
make it conform to what other people might want. KBI

A FAMILYS DREAM
KITCHEN CAPTURES
THE ROMANCE
OF THE FRENCH
COUNTRYSIDE.
writer MERVYN KAUFMAN
photographer JOHN GRANEN
field editor BONNIE BROTEN
CALL IT GOOD FORTUNE.

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 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
appearedand 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 Desire Brooks (Kevins daughter) and her
husband, Matt. Desire had wanted a distinctly foreign avor,
particularly in the kitchen, where vintage-inspired details,
warm wood accents, and subtle color balance the rooms
generous proportions.

Desire 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, oering 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 spaces hardworking capability, and an apron-front sink adds
another vintage touch. Open shelves put everyday dinnerware on
display and highlight the rooms casually elegant vibe.
For Andrea, who entertains often and cooks for a family that
includes three young children, her kitchenlike her homeretains
its initial appeal. I think the kitchen has nurtured our childrens
desire to learn to cook, because with all that space, its easy for them
to pull up a step stool and get in on the action. KBI

thats 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
(inoensive vinyl ooring and laminate countertops, Jeremy
recalls) and lived with it until the homes 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 couples priorities (a
breakfast nook and better trac ow) and figured out how to
update the kitchen while retaining the homes 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 spacesincluding
an existing staircaseto enlarge the kitchen and improve
circulation. Were big fans of capturing ineicient spaces you
didnt 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.

cooking, family life, and
entertaining.
Shaker-style cabinets with
full-inset doors provide

the main work core.
New windows with
diamond-shape muntins
echo original windows
in the 1910 home.
The key to a seamless transition? Start with the bones,

Emerick says. The architects made sure the rooms 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 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; thats very old-school, Emerick says of
the Shaker-style cabinets.
New period-appropriate surfaces include a backsplash of
small-scale white subway tiles, oak 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

helby Campion considers dish duty a pleasure,

not a chore, thanks to the view from her kitchen
sink to Oregons Oswego Lakeand 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
moms idea to reposition the sink so Id have a view of the lake. I just
love it. Im watching a bald eagle fish for dinner right now! Its nice
to get meditative, and then suddenly the dishes are done. Well, its as
meditative as it can be with three kids and two dogs running around.
Speaking of kids, how does

your kitchen stay so sparkling?
Its highly functional to have the sink be somewhat central so you can
clean as you go. In our previous homes, I had two sinksbut 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. Theres a lot of contrast: really dark oors and a bright
white counter. Both are easy to clean. Ive had marble counters, which
etch the minute you set something down on them. Ive 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 dont those open shelves

get dusty? No, because those dishes are all in rotation
all the time, so theres no opportunity for dust to build up. Plus, they
keep me honest. I cant get away with shoving things behind closed
doors, since its all visible.
So is your refrigerator! That was a
nonnegotiable, must-have for me. Im 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 Im pretty organized. Though one thing I hadnt
thought about is that there are no shelves on the refrigerator door
which, again, keeps me honest. I cant 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 familyfriendly 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 theres no real table-clearing to do. Everyone just
passes their dishes over to the sink. Its 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. Theyre 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 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.

organic kind of texture and warmth. This way, the kitchen is cleanlined but still friendly. If, for example, we had done the room with allwhite cabinets and a black countertop, it would have been too starkly
contemporary for such an old house.
Still, certain aspects of its designsuch as the highly eicient layout

EVERY KITCHEN NEEDS A WOW

factor, and youd be hard-pressed to find a more striking element than a fire-enginered range hood. Its 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 butlers pantry tucked by the dining room
entry lacked both style and eciency, 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 butlers pantry, reinvented as a full-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 o the sink wall, opened the space up to more light.

One of the design teams earliest decisions was to cover the oor with a white marble
tile featuring pale gray striations. A closer look at the oor, however, revealed it was very
uneven, making tile impractical. So they discarded the materialbut not the idea. The
tiles pattern served as the inspiration for the cabinets, which Maucieri painted with a
subtle gray stri. An all-gray kitchen would have felt too modern for the Georgian-style
home, so Marocco mixed in riftsawn-oak oors in a warm honeyed stain and an oak island
stained a deeper brown. Two tones of gray concrete countertopslight on the island,
darker on the perimeterand a backsplash of attractively gray-grained Carrara marble
tile give the room plenty of textural variety and interest.
But the pice de rsistance is undoubtedly the hood. Lucia bought a standard stainlesssteel 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 areas 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 wouldnt expect in a Georgian
Colonial home like this. KBI

designed a room with the appeal of
a classic tuxedo, punctuating the
spaces white cabinetry with crisp black trim.
We wanted it to be sophisticated but comfortable

tone of the dark oors up into the cabinets without
overpowering them. We also loved the graphic look.
Worts had worked on the familys country home

where every room is used, she says. They know how
to entertain and how to make people feel at home.

TWIN PASSIONS FOR COOKING

AND QUILTING INSPIRE A COZY,
COUNTRY-STYLE KITCHEN.
writer and field editor LISA MOWRY
photographer ANTHONY-MASTERSON
eborah Sitko 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 didnt
like the existing builder-grade kitchen, where she had to walk
a mile to make a meal. It had no ow, and everything was far
from everything else, Deborah says. So first on her wish list
was an ecient 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.

A vivid blue Viking range provided the starting point. Ive

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 Deborahs 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
eiciently, 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 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 customfabricated soapstone sink large enough to hide a dinner partys
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 theyll 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 goalsa kid-friendly space that would
still fit an adult lifestyle and aesthetic, an island
oering plenty of seating for their family of five, and
improved trac owmeant 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 o 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 trac 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 o the
childrens 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-footlong island, with a movable butcher-block-topped cart

One of the biggest challenges involved multiple
soits that concealed plumbing for the homes upper
level. Removing the plumbing wasnt an option, so
Tina consolidated the soits in the ceiling along the
exterior wall and incorporated a mantel-style hood
above the rangea solution that ultimately drove the
direction of the overall design.
Other choices were inuenced by the youngest
members of the familyfor 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

wish list for a 108-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 Matts 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 ow.
For the wow factor, Simard looked to the oor, where an eyecatching mosaic made of recycled marble now presides. Its especially
great when the sun comes out, Matt says. It shimmers like a
diamond. Large marble tiles on the walls complement the mosaic
oor but dont 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 resultsas well as the acoustics.
When you have a lot of hard surfaces, it makes for pretty good
sound, he says. KBI

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 homeand 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 mastera place of retreat, but not of escape. They didnt
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 aboutfamily.
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 homes 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 ow. The vanity is on
the opposite wall from the baths 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 oers 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 bedrooms
oor-to-ceiling windows. Now thats good circulation and ow,
welcoming to all. KBI

A WAY-BEHIND-THE-TIMES BATH

THE MOST OF A SMALL FOOTPRINT.

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 pass-in-pink bathroom.
People were very positive about the makeover and
couldnt believe it was done in less than a month, says Allie Mann, the project designer
responsible for the redo. We gutted the room but didnt 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 dierence, 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 oor tiles in a matte finish contrast with
the showers glossier subway tiles and inset mosaic. Polished-nickel faucets, hardware,
and light fixtures pick up on the marbles 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

ABOVE MIDDLE: Designer Allie Mann selected oldfashioned sconces rendered in a modern metal,
and she placed them to frame mirrors with a

Interior designer Kerith Flynn

ticked o 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 rooms 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
baths existing space to accommodate dual vanities, two closets, a walkin 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.
Keriths 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, 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
dierent ways and materials, our bathroom really has a spa feel and a
real sense of style, she says. It turned out perfectly! KBI

Opting 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
doesnt compete with
graphic and colorful tile
patterns.
Embracing adjacent
spaces, such as closets,
boosts a baths function.
