NOTE

Each of us has our own unique style, and each of us finds comfort in many different things. Just as

our homes, offices and personal “favorite spaces” are all of varying shapes, sizes and personalities, we

wanted our first special edition Favorite Spaces issue to be unique, colorful and timeless in order to

tell its own story.

Typically, the cover of SH&L highlights one of the stories in the issue, but this one has so many

wonderful homes, ideas and products, we couldn’t pick just one room to grace the cover. So we

created a cover that mixes old with new: A beautiful swatch of Anna French wallpaper carries a hint of

traditional style while a contemporary wood-grain banner is quintessentially Northwest.

Our Favorite Spaces contest was born last spring and has truly been a labor of love. Not just for the

team here at SH&L, but for the designers, architects, builders, homeowners and, of course, our judges

panel. So many beautiful photos and entry letters were submitted, that the judges certainly had their

work cut out for them. Designers’ response to this contest was absolutely remarkable and has set the

mark high for next year’s contest.

I hope the stories written in the following pages inspire you to linger more in your favorite space

or ignite an urge to create a warm and welcoming environment in your home that can be enjoyed

for years to come.

Congratulations to our winners! Thank you for sharing your Favorite Spaces with us.

Warm Regards,

Cathy Fitzer, Publisher

HELLO

Like proud parents of multiple children, we have trouble

choosing favorites when it comes to designers, projects,

furnishings or even magazine issues. But most of us can

identify a favorite room—or two—in our own houses. We

assume the same is true of those who work in the home

design industry: They may not want to (publicly) name a favorite

project or client but could easily name the “best” spot in their own

homes, where their creativity can expand to fill the space.

We launched our Favorite Spaces contest in May and stated our

intent to fill this special issue with everything favorite—soliciting

local design-industry professionals to share with us their favorite

spaces inside (and outside) their own homes.

The entries trickled in at first, but by the deadline, June 10, we

were getting a half dozen every day. I didn’t open any envelopes

because I wanted to look at them all at once (and without knowing

whose was whose)—but the return addresses were tantalizing,

naming designers and architects whose work we have loved and

published in the past.

Because we are personally familiar with many of the homes of

designers, architects and other home design pros in the greater

Seattle area, we enlisted the help of impartial judges to make the

call on our entries. We shared the submissions with the editors

of SH&L’s sister publications in Atlanta, Colorado and Arkansas (read

more about them on the opposite page). Our judges considered

each project’s functionality, originality and overall appeal, and

they also sent us their thoughts on why certain projects were

their favorites. We tallied the scores and came up with one or two

winners in each category, most of which fill our feature well

(pages 23–45).

OUR JUDGES’ SCORES AND COMMENTS also helped us fill regular

departments in the issue with favorites: This issue’s At the Table

story (page 18) features one of two Favorite Dining Rooms; our

Before & After article (page 48) is the judges’ choice for Favorite

Bath; Details (page 50) looks at a Favorite Home Office; and Green Living (page 52) explores the sustainability of a Favorite Kitchen.

Also in this issue, we asked local designers to share their favorite

design trends for our Trend story (page 16). And we feature a few

of our own favorites, revisiting our most-loved Style story from

the past year (“More Future Classics,” page 12) and (some of ) our

favorite locally made products (Right Now, page 64).

We hope you enjoy this glimpse inside the homes—and hearts—

of local designers as much as we enjoyed the compilation process.

THROUGH OUR PARENT COMPANY, Network Communications, Inc.,

Seattle Homes & Lifestyles is fortunate to have sister home design pub-

lications across the country. To provide impartial—and enlightened—

judging for our contest, we called upon the editors of At Home in

Arkansas, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and Colorado Homes & Lifestyles.

Here’s a bit more information about SH&L’s esteemed Favorite

Spaces judges:

1. Veteran design journalist Diane Carroll joined the Network Com-

munications, Inc., team in 2009 as editor in chief of At Home in Arkansas.

Previously, she served as a regional editor and ongoing contributor for

a variety of residential design publications, including House Beautiful,

Metropolitan Home, Traditional Home, Better Homes and Gardens, Ladies

Home Journal, Renovation Style, and Kitchen and Bath Ideas, as well as

a range of specialty magazines. Working with Meredith Publications,

Carroll’s work was featured in multiple books, including Discovering

Home, New Classic Style and Real-Life Decorating. She has served as a

spokesperson for the Better Homes and Gardens collection, conduct-

ing seminars for homeowners on integrating design into their lives.

2. Hilary Masell Oswald is editor in chief of Colorado Homes &

Lifestyles, the state’s oldest shelter magazine. She has written about art,

architecture and design for more than 10 years, and her work has

appeared in regional and national publications, including The Chicago

Tribune, Chicago Magazine and Newsday. A member of the Institute

of Classical Architecture and Classical America, she supports new

programming that educates the public about the West’s unique

architectural history. She also serves on the boards of several non-

profits that provide arts education to children. A hopeless history buff,

Oswald loves to travel and discover how design reflects the unique

geography and culture of a place.

3. The editorial director of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Clinton Smith

has covered the fields of style, design and travel for a decade. Under

his leadership, AH&L has garnered numerous awards and accolades,

including a Gold GAMMA for Best Design from the Magazine Asso-

ciation of the Southeast. In 2006 Smith was personally the recipient

of the Media Award from the American Society of Interior Designers

(ASID) Georgia Chapter. He is a member of the board of directors of the

Museum of Design Atlanta and is a member of the Institute of Classical

Architecture and Classical America, as well as the Atlanta Press Club.

An established authority on matters of taste and style, Smith has

been quoted frequently in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on style-

and design-related articles and has made numerous TV appearances

on WXIA-TV (NBC) and Fox 5’s Good Day Atlanta.

STORY OF THE YEAR:

MORE FUTURE CLASSICS

OUR FAVORITE STYLE STORY from the past year was “Future Design Classics”

(January/February 2010), in which we asked friends in the Seattle design world

to share their predictions for new pieces that would become classics. We’re

always looking for designs that exert a certain je ne sais quoi—whether because

they are remarkably innovative or simply have perfect scale and lines.

After that story went to press, we kept happening upon more products

we felt deserved “future classic” status—and we realized the article wasn’t fin-

ished. Here we present some more designs that we think have a strong pos-

sibility of staying in the spotlight for years to come.

1. The sheer size and dramatic

presence of the IKEA PS Maskros Pendant Lamp make it a showstopper.

2. The Couio Lounge Chair and Ottoman by Walter Knoll fit seamlessly into traditional or modern spaces.

3. Jonathan Adler’s Lampert Sofa has a mix of clean lines and feminine grace that will never get old.

4. The graphic quality of the Arc Table by Molteni & C makes it stunning from all sides.

DINING ROOMFavorite Space:

WRITTEN BY GISELLE SMITH PHOTOGRAPHS BY ALEX HAYDEN

ARCHITECT STEVE HOEDEMAKER’S

he dining room is the center of architect Steve Hoedemaker’s

2,800-square-foot Mount Baker home. Though he’s the first

to admit that it is simple and unembellished, that’s exactly

how he planned it: “All a dining room really needs is a good

table, good light and good chairs,” he says. “The table sets

the stage, the light brings it to life, and the chairs make sure you can spend

hours around the table.”

Hours around the table are one of Hoedemaker’s favorite ways to spend

an evening, and it’s something he does at least once a week when he’s in

town. He’ll call friends and organize dinner for eight to 12, usually inviting at

least one person who wants to cook something in his compact kitchen,

on one side of the dining room, or barbecue on the deck, on the opposite

side. “The plan is usually to bring in someone who wants to make some-

thing,” Hoedemaker notes with a smile.

For our July photo shoot, he invited a half dozen friends to share a meal

in his favorite room. They mingled in the kitchen and on the deck during

preparations, sipping cocktails (see recipe page 20) and catching up. As the

light slowly faded from the sky over Lake Washington, chairs were pulled

up to the table, plates were filled and wine was poured. Interior designer

Dana Hamel contributed an herb-crusted leg of lamb, and Hoedemaker

made a quinoa salad with cucumber, jalapeño and tomato.

“There are so many things that can make a space great—proportion,

light, texture, furnishings, outlook and windows, to name just a few,” he

says. “As an architect, I make it my obsession to study and understand these

for my clients and myself, but ultimately, these things have no meaning if

the spaces they enhance are empty.”

Hoedemaker believes it is the presence of people that gives architecture

meaning. “For all of the intimate, powerful or elegant spaces that I inhabit,

none has more meaning than the one I share most often with my family

and friends—my dining room,” he says.

Bosworth Hoedemaker Architecture1408 N. 45th St., (206) 545-8434bosworthhoedemaker.com

T

Our judges appreciated Hoedemaker’s simple approach. “I’m into ‘clean

eating’—not fussing with my food too much, letting flavors speak for

themselves. This dining room is the design equivalent of clean eating,” says

Hilary Masell Oswald, editor in chief of Colorado Homes & Lifestyles. “The

materials make this room for me. They’re raw and yet refined, clean but not

cold. And even though I typically advise against white walls, in this home

they provide the perfect backdrop for the clean architecture and the beau-

tiful materials in the furnishings.”

Sheri Olson Architecture PLLC2407 Warren Ave. N.(206) 720-5510, sheriolson.com

For architect Sheri Olson, spending time in her Queen Anne

living room is a relaxing experience. “I love how my living room

connects to the outdoors,” Olson says. Ten-foot-tall sliding glass

doors open up to her patio for a natural—and very Northwest—

indoor-outdoor connection. Olson describes the look of

her living room as “seamless—visually and physically.” White-

stained ash floors in the living room meld with the ipe-wood

deck that was left unstained so it could weather to a natural

gray tone that complements the living room floor.

On the back wall, floor-to-ceiling built-in bookcases house

Olson’s architecture and art books. “The piano and a Jeffrey

Bishop painting are here [in the living room], too, so we are

surrounded by music, art and books,” she explains. Furniture in

the room is oriented so that the focal point is Olson’s enclosed

garden—not a TV or fireplace, neither of which inhabit the

space. “When the old cherry tree is leafed out, [the garden]

feels like an outdoor room,” she explains.

Bella and Kirby, Olson’s two pugs, often run in from and out

onto the deck while Olson and son Owen play board games

inside, read or talk.

“I’ve been told I’m a free spirit,” Olson says. Her living room, with

its open feel and flow, seems to fit just right with her personality:

“I can walk directly out to my backyard. There is no boundary.”

Our judges like the room’s style. “It’s chic, simple and simul-

taneously functional,” says Clinton Smith, editorial director of

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. “A divine use of space!”


ENTRYWAYFavorite Space:

INTERIOR DESIGNER GRACIELA RUTKOWSKI’S

Graciela Rutkowski Interiors(206) 527-1962grinteriordesign.com

Interior designer Graciela Rutkowski’s entryway is a perfect reflection

of her personal style. “I love zebra and leopard fabrics and bright colors!”

she says with a laugh. “[At the firm] we love using old-world shapes

and fabrics and making them modern. My style is grounded in tradition

but updated to make everything a little more young, fresh and whimsical.”

The 85-square-foot entryway may be small, but it serves as a festive

welcome to guests. One side connects to the living room, and the

other holds the staircase and opens to the dining room. The entry’s

dominant features are an 18th-century Italian settee, an ornate gold

mirror and a glass-and-crystal chandelier, which embrace tradition,

while bright pink velvet, a leopard-print rug and stair runners, and

playful Ankasa throw pillows add punches of color. “I wanted it to not

be too serious but still casually elegant,” Rutkowski explains. “It makes

me happy, and I can sit on the settee in the morning and wave my

kids off to school!”

“I love when small spaces make bold design statements; this entryway

is just that kind of space,” says Hilary Masell Oswald, editor in chief of

Colorado Homes & Lifestyles. “It’s glamorous with a touch of playfulness

(hello, fabulous rug!). Painting the walls dark was a brilliant move

because the color gives the room definition and drama. It’s an idea that

works particularly well in an area like this one with a great light fixture,

a mirror that bounces the light into the space and a wide doorway

into the living room.”

Michael, catch up, work, enjoy meals and entertain guests.

“The dining room is the focus of gatherings—for me and my

partner and also for large groups of people,” Carmichael says.

The designer found inspiration for this all-occasion space

from his Italian travels. “Some of my favorite Italy memories

are gathering around tables, inside and outside, and enjoying

a meal with friends and family,” Carmichael says. “I wanted a

room that was really comfortable. It’s easy for people to sit

at our table before a meal, while a meal is being prepared,

eat the meal and linger there.”

Carmichael’s dining room occupies one corner of an

open great room, where a high ceiling creates an airy feel

and windows to the north and west let in plenty of light.

He specifically chose a soft ivory color for the walls to allow

the eye to focus on art in the room, the furniture and the

view. Clean lines are balanced with a mix of antiques and

vintage pieces. An Environment dining table and Fontana-

Arte chandelier mingle with a pedestal from Portland’s The

Cultured Pearl Antiques and finials by John Saladino. The

vintage chairs are a thrift-store find that Carmichael had

reupholstered in Bergamo cotton velvet. The overall result

is both relaxed and elegant—just as its designer intended.

“Against a beautiful natural backdrop, the furnishings and

architecture epitomize a warm modernism through the

use of rich natural materials, proper scale and proportion,

and shapes based on classical forms,” notes Clinton Smith,

editorial director of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles.

“We love to cook and love to eat,” Lauren Ferraro says with a laugh. “For our family,

this kitchen is set up really wonderfully to do those things.”

In the center of her Magnolia kitchen resides a custom oak island designed

with open shelving and a surface that slides out to fit eight to 10 people for an

informal gathering. “The goal was to have a lot of functionality out of that island,”

Ferraro says. It’s where Ferraro and her children prep to cook while Ferraro’s Italian

husband, John, makes homemade pasta, meatballs and other family recipes.

A pullout breadboard and built-in coffee maker add “a lot of function that can be

easily hidden when not in use,” Ferraro explains. Visually, the room’s soothing color

palette and airy design were inspired by the abundance of natural light. “[The

light] enabled me to focus on understated finishes with nuances of color, such

as the subtle blues, greens and grays in the marble and the soft, steely gray-blue

of the wall paint,” Ferraro says. “As a mom and a designer, this kitchen balances my

aesthetic needs and my desire to involve my children in our passion for cooking.”

Our judges love the clean lines of Ferraro’s kitchen, in addition to the functionality

she describes. “This space features a crispness and clarity that make it rise above

the ubiquitous all-white kitchen,” says Clinton Smith, editorial director of

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles.

Heather Lund Interior Design14148 Bear Creek Road N.E., Woodinville, (425) 898-4497

“It’s the main hub of our home,” interior designer Heather Lund says of

her Woodinville family room. She and her husband, Richard, were very

involved in the room’s design, and it’s where they and their three children

relax, play games, watch TV and entertain.

The family room, which extends out into the yard, was built to capture

views and light from three different directions. “We are able to watch the

weather patterns, the changing seasons and the wildlife that frequent our

yard,” Lund says. “It was important for me to find that balance between

having clean lines and a modern aesthetic that wouldn’t compete with

the view and yet knowing that we needed a warm, functioning space.”

Walls throughout the space are a warm tan with undertones of green

and yellow; window frames pop in Benjamin Moore’s White Dove. Caramel-

colored oak floors set the stage for the interior designer’s love of midcentury

modern pieces and cozy fabrics. “I like the mix and contrast of a scrumptious

Donghia chenille-covered sofa with the clean modern lines and glass of a

Platner coffee table,” Lund explains.

“Our family room remains special to us,” Lund says, “not only for how it

came to be but also now for the memories that our family is building [by]

using it.”

Our judges also appreciate the room’s outside focus. “This room looks so

crisp and fresh, with the grid-patterned panes of glass and neutral color

palette,” says Diane Carroll, editor in chief of SH&L sister publication At Home

in Arkansas. “The design clearly channels attention toward the views, keeping

the outdoors as the focal point.”

ARCHITECT TOM BOSWORTH’S

Bosworth Hoedemaker Architecture1408 N. 45th St.(206) 545-8434bosworthhoedemaker.com

Architect Tom Bosworth knows the value of design that’s both beautiful and personal. That’s why his Montlake home office—formerly a detached one-car garage that he converted into an airy studio—is filled with his own cherished objects, photo-graphs and mementos.

Everything about the space says “Bosworth,” from childhood photos on the walls to the custom shade of paint—an off-white that the architect calls, quite fittingly, “Bosworth White.” Behind his desk hangs a collection of architectural drawings that Bosworth and his late wife, Elaine, collected during their travels. A floor-to-ceiling bookshelf holds design reference books and Bosworth’s carefully cataloged notes. An antique Korean chest, which he inherited from his grandfather, sits below a shelf of sculptures and busts from his travels and years spent living in Rome.

“Elaine and I shared the same idea,” Bosworth says of his philosophy for the space. “We believe that when you have high-quality objects, they all go together.” The collection and the space, as Bosworth says, “just feel good.”

Our judges note the great connection between Bosworth’s

office and backyard patio: “Light, bright and airy, this space

literally blurs the line between indoors and out,” says Clinton

Smith, editorial director of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles.

ARCHITECTS JOE SCHNEIDER AND KIM CLEMENTS’


J.A.S. Design-Build3540 Wallingford Ave. N. (206) 547-6242, jasdesignbuild.com

“When we design for clients, we place a high priority on

designing with intention,” says Kim Clements, owner (with

husband Joe Schneider) of J.A.S. Design-Build. “This discipline

helps clarify the function of a space and helps define how we

live in a house. It can also lead to simple and elegant design.”

Clements and Schneider work daily to create a smooth

intersection between “beauty and creativity” and “reality and

functionality,” Clements says. All of these qualities played into

the couple’s remodel of their two-story Wallingford house.

“Our ‘master sweet’ is an example of the kinds of personalized

spaces we like to design,” Clements says. The 155-square-foot

master bedroom, nestled in the roof of their home, is large

enough for the essentials. “We found space for our clothes in

the eaves, we celebrated its garret-like quality with beadboard,

and we used built-ins to efficiently provide places for reading

lamps and books. This room really is our sweet, personalized

sanctuary.”

Our judges love the light and airy feel of this charming space,

which looks—and lives—bigger than its footprint. We also like

the “throw me open” window.

“I love the room mainly because it’s my son’s room, but also

because it is so bright and cheerful,” interior designer Karla

Tewes explains. “You walk in there, and you can’t not be cheerful!”

When Tewes began designing the nursery for her now 13-month-

old son, Zane, she opted for bright, bold colors and a simple,

modern style. Inspired by a large Marimekko print, Tewes (who

notes she doesn’t like pastels) chose a color palette filled with

cheery greens and blues, while keeping the rest of the room

minimal and contemporary. Tewes says that her son is constantly

interacting with different elements in the nursery. “Every morning

we wake up to him chattering in the crib, playing with his mobile,

staring through the side of the crib at the bright dotted rug

or gazing at the animal-print wall hanging beside him. He is

always full of smiles when we go in, which naturally makes this

my favorite space.”

We love this bright nursery’s color scheme. We also love the art the

designer and her husband, Christopher Zilliax, chose for the room.

In addition to the more conventionally child-oriented Marimekko

print, Tewes and Zilliax hung colorful graffiti photos and street art

that they purchased when Zane was a baby and they lived in New

York. Positioned against a painted lime green background above

the crib and changing table, the art adds a personal touch to the

nursery and connects Zane to his East Coast roots.

“This new space allows the entire family to be together while we’re doing different things,”

architect Michelle Demetriou Cozza says of the great-room addition in her Juanita home.

“It’s where we spend all of our time. When my husband cooks, we can be in the living room

watching TV or our daughter can be doing her homework, and we can still be all together.”

Before the remodel, the main floor of their home felt small and compartmentalized. The west

wall of the kitchen had only a window and a door connecting it to the large backyard. In order

to gain space and open up the floor plan, the Cozzas knocked out that wall and created a

494-square-foot great room complete with a workspace for their daughter and a 12-foot-

wide wall of windows and sliding doors that visually connects the space with the outdoors.

The room opens up to the kitchen, allowing the Cozzas to prepare food while still chatting

with guests. “Everyone has been enjoying the space,” Cozza reflects. “We’ve really been using

the house now because it feels complete. It feels like this is the way it was meant to be.”

The room’s open floor plan and its expanse of windows—which let in a lot of light—are

perfect for the Northwest. Apple-green accents are cheery and uplifting, providing color

even on the gloomiest of days.

“This is my favorite space because I can go out and be on my own and aspire, and I can’t

hear any outside noise even though I am in an urban setting,” architect Cynthia Nolting

explains of the shed located behind her family’s Queen Anne home. “About four years

ago, I started to do some meditation practice every morning, and the only place I could

use for that was my 15-square-foot bedroom closet.” Her husband, architect Joseph

Greif, suggested that they replace a crowded storage shelter on their back deck with a

window-lined 7-foot-by-10-foot structure dedicated to quiet activities such as writing,

meditation and yoga. A single recessed shelf built into the back wall of the hut allows

Nolting to display her artwork and store pens and notebooks. “I am completely alone,”

Nolting says, reflecting on her time spent in the outdoor room. ”All I see is the greenery

in the yard. It is such a gift to have that in my life.”

“What a clever use of space and affordable materials—so unexpected and so elegant;

it’s thoroughly well executed,” says Diane Carroll, editor in chief of At Home in Arkansas.

“A secret hideaway, a relaxing retreat; it immediately caught my attention as a space

everyone could enjoy in different ways.”

When Lauren and Kyle Zerbey moved into their 1910 Ballard home four years ago, it was only

natural for the two architects to begin remodeling. They reconfi gured the layout of their home,

which led to the renovation of their one and only bathroom. The Zerbeys’ 50-square-foot bath

was drab and dark, so they gutted the space and started anew. The room, formerly adorned

with faux marble tiles, vinyl fl ooring and fl oral wallpaper, is now a light and airy retreat.

“Our bathroom is our favorite space because it achieves so much in such a small area,” Lauren

says. To make the most of the square footage, the Zerbeys purchased two IKEA vanities in

a white high-gloss fi nish and connected them to use as a single unit for sink and storage.

“It reads more as a piece of furniture with the legs,” Lauren says of the vanity, which they

customized by wrapping it in teak plywood.

Because this is the only bathroom in the home, the couple wanted to incorporate touches

of comfort and luxury. Kyle installed an electric radiant mat system under the tile fl oor, along

with a Kohler Tea-for-Two tub. A window next to the mirror and a skylight allow in plenty of

sunlight, which the couple wanted “to get through Seattle winters.”

To add warmth and texture, they customized the sink, shower and towel rack with teak. “It

was fun coming up with creative solutions, [and] thinking of all the cool ways to do things,”

Kyle says. “The bathroom has proven to be a haven for us,” Lauren adds. “It’s a peaceful space

to escape to at the end of a long day.”

“When I designed this space, I was concerned that it was an

unnecessary room—a bit of a luxury—but the amount that

I use it and love it totally justifies it,” interior designer Barbara

Hyde Evans says of her home office. Her company, Hyde Evans

Design, is headquartered in the basement of her 1910 Capitol

Hill home, and her elegant yet functional office space on the

second floor acts as a personal refuge.

Hyde Evans drew the color scheme, which flows cohesively

throughout the space, from the bold floral print of a charcoal-and-

white Thibaut drapery fabric and wallpaper. By using a custom

paint in a rich charcoal hue, Hyde Evans was able to achieve the

desired high-dose contrast that she believes is paramount to a

well-designed room. White built-in bookshelves pop, as do the

doorframes and moldings that were styled after the home’s

original trim. “I love contrast, and this room takes it to the

extreme,” she notes.

When she’s not working in the space, she uses it for reading

and relaxing. “I carefully designed the bookcase to hold my family

photos, collectables and favorite books,” Hyde Evans says. “In this

room, I feel surrounded by the things that I love.”

“I wish my office looked this good,” opines Hilary Masell Oswald,

editor in chief of Colorado Homes & Lifestyles. “This room feels

feminine and clean, with a kick of personality. Check out that

cowhide rug! And I love the chair—a modern riff on Louis XV

style with that upholstered white square. It feels modern and

traditional all at once.”

A Kitchen That Works(206) 780-1906, akitchenthatworks.com

“It was made with me in mind,” designer Molly McCabe says of her 217-

square-foot kitchen, created during the remodel of the 3-Star Built Green

home on Bainbridge Island where she lives with her husband and their

two teenage children.

“I incorporate as many sustainable design principles and materials in my

projects as possible,” McCabe says. Her own kitchen is a perfect example of

this. McCabe opted for durable CaesarStone counter tops that don’t require

chemical-laden cleaning products (“I just use vinegar and water,” she notes),

energy-efficient appliances, low-flow faucets, Forest Stewardship Council–

certified maple cabinets and sustainable cork flooring.

Her kitchen does double duty as a personal sanctuary for McCabe, an

avid chef, and as a showroom for her business. She installed a number of

features—soft-close drawers, hinged cabinet lids, an ergonomic butcher-

block counter, custom drawer and cabinet organization, an appliance

garage and more—to give her clients the opportunity to see several

options in one place and cut down on trips to stores across Bainbridge

and Seattle.

“I love to cook, and my kitchen has all the best amenities,” McCabe says.

“It’s easy for my kids to cook in here, and a lot of people can be in here

together comfortably.” For a kitchen designer—and a busy mom—nothing

could be better.

“Efficient, sustainable, family-friendly and a garden view to boot—I’d

be happy to step in here and start cooking anytime,” says Diane Carroll,

editor in chief of At Home in Arkansas. “I’m a fan of the ergonomic uplift

cabinetry, and I like the idea of integrating a lower-height counter area into

the island to give the kids a workspace as well.”
