This Texas Treasure began as a simple kitchen remodel, then expanded to include the entire home! What was a tired, dark, cramped space has now become an open, light, bright space fit for a serious cook! She yearned for natural and organic elements that harken to the outdoors. Stone, antique, rough, hand-hewn beams fit the bill perfectly!

Example of a classic l-shaped dark wood floor kitchen design in Los Angeles with a farmhouse sink, raised-panel cabinets, white cabinets, multicolored backsplash, stainless steel appliances and an island

This bold and beautifully layered kitchen is a masterclass in fearless design. Designer Barbara Glass brought together an unexpected mix of pattern, color, and texture to create a space that feels collected, joyful, and completely intentional. The Raw Urth Designs Aspen style range hood in Antique patina serves as a grounded anchor in an otherwise exuberant space. Its dark, handcrafted finish provides the perfect counterpoint to the richly patterned wallpaper, white cabinetry, and decorative tile backsplash that surround it. A green painted island, red leather barstools with brass detail, and a dramatic wrought iron globe chandelier complete the layered, maximalist aesthetic. Wood plank ceilings and warm hardwood floors add depth and warmth throughout. Photography by Emily Minton.

This growing family of six was struggling with a dysfunctional kitchen design. The center island had been installed at an odd angle that limited accessibility and traffic flow. Additionally, storage space was limited by poor cabinet design. Finally, doorways in and out of the kitchen were narrow and poorly located, especially for children dashing in and out. Other design challenges included how to better use a 10’ x 12’ room for children’s jackets and toys and how to add a professional-quality gas range in a neighborhood were natural gas wasn’t available. The new design would address all of these issues. DESIGN SOLUTIONS The new kitchen design revolves around a more proportional island. Carefully placed in the center of the new space with seating for four, it includes a prep sink, a second dishwasher and a beverage center. The distressed ebony-stained island and hutch provides a brilliant contrast between the white color cabinetry. White Carrera marble countertops and backsplash top both island and perimeter cabinets. Tall, double stacked cabinetry lines two walls to maximize storage space. Across the room there was an unused wall that now contains a 36” tower fridge and freezer, both covered with matching panels, and a tall cabinet that contains a microwave, steam unit and warming drawer. A propane tank was buried in the back yard to provide gas to a new 60” professional range and cooktop. A custom-made wood mantel hood blends perfectly with the cabinet style. The old laundry room was reconfigured to have lots of locker space for all kids and added cabinetry for storage. A double entry door separated the new mudroom from the rest of the back hall. In the back hall the back windows were replaced with a set of French door and added decking to create a direct access to deck and backyard. The end result is an open floor plan, high-end appliances, great traffic flow and pleasing colors. The homeowner calls it the “kitchen of her dreams.”

The original kitchen was reconfigured allowing for a large dining area, suitable for children's projects as well. Custom cabinets were installed. Features include a breakfast counter, sprayed conversion lacquer coating and Caesar Stone counter tops with a waterfall edge. All new trims, baseboards, doors, modern lighting and heated, du chateau floors were installed. Bruce Damonte Photography
