Samantha Hart
Editor, Kitchen and Bath Ideas
TAKE A PHOTO!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 itsa 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 efficient layout and stylish materials
belie its origins as a closed-off 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 offenders. But a gut
remodel and addition completely transformed the way the space looksand functions (page 74).
And then theres 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 floral 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-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 allother colors.
Secondary colorsgreen, orange, andpurpleresult fromcombining two primarycolors.
Tertiary colors, such asblue-green or red-orange,
result from combininga primary color with asecondary color.
NEUTRALZONEShades of white,
black, brown, and
gray are the most
pervasive colors in
kitchens and baths
(wood flooring 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 witha single color, such asyellow, then uses tints andshades of that color toenliven the palette.
ANALOGOUS:
A scheme built on colorsthat sit next to each otheron the color wheel, such asa panoply of blues, teals,and greens.
COMPLEMENTARY:
A scheme constructed oncolors that are oppositeeach other on the wheel,such as blue and orange oryellow and purple.

14 KITCHEN BATH IDEAS SPRING
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 aswhite, black, and gray.
TINT:Making a color lighter by adding white. For example, pinkis 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, themore light it reflects.
DOMINANT COLOR: The commanding color in a room. Thishas the most surface area, and often appears in wallcoveringssuch 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 innonstructural elements, such as seating, linens, or rugs.

The number of colors outthere can be overwhelming.But dont be afraid to trysomething to brighten yourkitchen that will make apersonal statement.
all about color
Pale shades are more flexible forpairing with other colors. Whenyou think youve found the hue, goa step or two lighter on the paintswatch strip, and youll likely bemuch happier with the outcome.

70Never use one color for more than 70% of aroom. For a tricolor approach, try a 70/20/10distribution. For two colors, go 70/30.
MAKE A STATEMENT
In spaces large or small, try these tips forattention-getting color.
Look up to ceilings,which areusually among the most underdevelopedelements of any room. If deep moldings,coffers, and beams arent your style, trysimply adding a fresh color overhead.
A colorful big-ticket item,such as arange or freestanding tub, can offer an
unexpected use of color that deliversinstant character.
Bold, radiant light fixturescansometimes have more impact on a kitchenor 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 seeminglyimpartial neutrals, or failing to recognize their
roots, can ruin a finished product.
FROM THE EARTH
When sampling paint colors forwalls or cabinetry, check thecolor throughout the day andnight, and in various lighting.

KEEP CALM
Pink! Not only is it feminine, but itsalso believed to be the most calming,passive hue. It has been used insports facilities as a psychologicalcalming trick in visiting teamslocker rooms, and it can do the samething in your home through accents.
A paints finish can be
as important as thecolor, especially in busy,hardworking rooms likekitchens and baths. Heresa quick guide to the mostcommon types.
MATTE FINISH: Rich andalmost velvety looking,matte does not reflect light.It produces a dramatic lookbut is hard to cleannotsuited for kitchens or baths.
FLAT FINISH: Almostchalky in appearance, flatpaints dull finish can showwear, so its not the bestchoice for busy rooms.
SATIN FINISH: Its slightshine gives walls moredimension and makes it abit easier to clean than flator matte paint.

One of the many benefits of including color in your spaceis that it allows you to play with pattern. Love a slimpinstripe, a classic damask, and a bold floral? Seeminglydiscordant prints work together if theyre in the samecolor scheme. Youll want a mix of large- and small-scale
designs. In the kitchen, try playing with backsplash tiles, arunner, or window treatments. For the bath, look towardlinens, shower curtains, floor tiles, and wallpaper. In each,be sure to leave some neutral space for balanceyoudont want the patterns running into each other.

9SPACE PLANNINGA double-oven range
provides the function
the homeowner wanted
without taking up the
space that two wall ovens
would require.
STORAGE SMARTSLittle changes make a big
impact when it comes
to cabinetry. Trading
traditional doors for a
few glass-front cabinets
and squeezing in wine
storageperfectly mixes
form and function.
FAMILY FAVORITEInspired by the
homeowners love of
collecting seashells, the
kitchens focal point is
the custom concrete
backsplasha mix of
concrete and locally
gathered shells.

WELL SUITEDConcrete counters allow
for many customizations.
In this kitchen, the
concrete was darkened for
the ideal look. Plus, it can
be manipulated to provide
built-in luxuries, such as
this trivet.

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
different 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 fixtures
distributeambient lighting evenly throughout
a room. They come in two main
varieties: Flush-mount fixtures fit
snugly against the ceiling, while
semiflush fixtures hang about a foot
below the ceiling.
Pendantshang 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 sufficient
brightness to the room.
Sconcesprovide 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!

USEFUL NICHE Recessing an area of the backsplash produces ahandy spot for your most-used cooking utensils and ingredients.
Using all the same tile makes the niche float above the cooktop.
STRONG DEFENSE For the chef who tends to make a messaround 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 textureand as thiskitchen 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 patternedceramic or porcelain tile. Let the color and pattern complement your

TWO FOR ONE IN THE BATH?
My bath has two sinks on the same cabinet.I want to know if having dual sinks isstandard now in a master bathroom, or
can I gain more space by installing a single-basin sinksince its just me? Is it better for resale down the roadto keep it as is?T. FREEMAN, VIA EMAIL
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.

This little gem of a kitchenmakes room for everythingits owners want, including
a stunning view.
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, certified kitchen designer
Liz Firebaugh says. For example, we
specified 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 benefits 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 harborview. 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.

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 wouldnt
change a thing. Our new kitchen
has everything we need and more. I
love the cottage charm it offers 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 waterso our home
could capture all of what the harborhas to offer. KBI

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 tosacrifice either one.
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 theroom, 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 floated custom wenge
wood cabinetry off the floor, so the
lines of the floor extend from wall to
wall. Its amazing how big a difference
this makes, Maria says. Woods also
made generous use of mirrors and
glass. The reflective 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 Marias 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.
Its welcoming and elegant, Mariasays, 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 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

VALUE BUDGETTHE SOLUTIONS1.Ditching the separate toilet and shower rooms
allowed for an open floor 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 floor,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. Its a
dramatic change that doesnt alter the available
spacebut does create a more intimate setting.
2.Taking risks with new products, like the boldlypatterned concrete flooring and dramatic wallpaper,
pays offwhen 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 flooring throughout thebath (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 floor 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 thehouse 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 kid-
friendly vinyl banquette is a cheery sunflower hue. Itspoppy in this room of moody grays, Diane says.
The kitchens large scale allowed Diane to take the
plunge and forgo hanging cabinets for sleek metal
shelvesone 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 Mirabels school supplies. The center
bump-out is a not-so-typical beverage station.Were not coffee 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

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 first 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 flavor,
particularly in the kitchen, where vintage-inspired details,
warm wood accents, and subtle color balance the rooms
generous proportions.
CALL IT GOOD FORTUNE.

Desire wanted something that was a bit country but a littleformal 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 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 homeretainsits 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
(inoffensive vinyl flooring 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 traffic flow) and figured out how toupdate 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 inefficient spaces you
didnt know were there and using them where you really need
them, Emerick says. With a smarter footprint, the kitchen was
ready t
