This smart kitchen renovation in Silver Spring, Maryland, involved removing three walls and a centrally located powder room and a closet. The powder room was relocated into the original closet area, and the patio door moved nearby. The main window was enlarged to create an anchor and focal point for the new kitchen as well as to enhance the view onto the lovely backyard. An angled island keeps the room feeling spacious and open, and a corner pantry was designed so as not to lose precious storage space.

This is a favorite shot from this project. The vanity was donated to my (Ann Reed) mom's family when she was a little girl after her family lost everything in the Vanport flood. The art was created by my youngest daughter when she was just shy of 3 (some will say, "well, it looks like it" but I love it) The gold accents on the painting are wrappers from candy that my husband brought back from a trip to Asia. The nude sculpture that I picked up at a resale shop and the gold and glass boxes hold some precious pieces of jewelry handed down from my grandmother. DavidPapazian Photography

Under the gleaming vent hood resides a very useful warming rack that raises up and down - it is one of the cook's favorite elements in the kitchen! To the left on a support, her digital pad is ever at the ready with new recipes, and the legrand system also provides multiple electrical outlets and convertables on the under-cabinet plug strips. The tile image over the range holds great sentimental value, finally and artfully displayed after a trip to Italy those many years ago. Design by Lerond Design Studios; Photo; Dan Bawden.

This is a beauty! Allheart Redwood wood with a Dark Walnut stain. Includes archway over tabletop and diamond bin, curved corners with waterfall racks leading down. With a beautiful wine room chandelier. "Eric Flores was very helpful with hints and videos. The racks assembled quite well as the components' quality was very consistent. The nail gun really reduced assembly time. A nail would occasionally go slightly to the side due to wood grain and would have to be redone. This was probably less than one percent. Overall, I would give the kits a 9.5 /10.0. The room is 8'-10" x 11'- 8" with 2x6 wall studs, sprayed foam insulation, and an exterior "speak-easy" door. We are using a WhisperKool through-the-wall unit with a bottle probe holding 60 degrees F and 50% humidity. The fun part was the trip to Healdsburg (Sonoma County) to stock up on their local award winning Cabs, Zinns, PNs, & Chards."

Plenty of food storage that is easy to see and retrieve. A reach-in pantry that holds everything including the vacuum and step stool.
Reach-in closet - mid-sized traditional medium tone wood floor reach-in closet idea with open cabinets and white cabinets

Bright colors and white cabinets were utilized to contrast the wood paneling and wood floors left untouched in the adjacent original living room. A portion of the wood ceiling is preserved and accents the new island with prep sink and artistic custom pendants discovered by the homeowner on a recent trip. Chris Zimmer Photography
