This kitchen is such an inspiration to me! We are about to put an offer on a 1942 cottage in pretty bad shape. But there's an O'keefe & Merrit stove that I will keep and have refurbished. I work as a nanny/cook in a very upscale home, so I know I want elegant, just in a smaller space. I wish I could just hire Katie to come to L.A. and say, "Just make my kitchen exactly like yours!" I especially love the refrigerator. Are the bottom drawers the freezer part? Or is it right side fridge and left side freezer? Thank you!

I had to come out of lurkdom on this forum to comment on your new kitchen! I looked twice to be certain this was the NEW kitchen because it so perfectly suits the age and style of your home that I thought it might be the original kitchen. Love the stove, lighting, eating area for humans and pets, the shoe rack, and the warmth and evidence of family living that happens in this room. You've achieved a timeless kitchen which is marvelously integrated with your bungalow.

The floor tile is Emser Europa Bianca Glazed Porcelain. The countertop is Superwhite granite. Tub is Aquatica Purescape Acrylic 014a. Toilet Kohler Cimmaron round chair height. Tub faucet is from Signature Hardware - Leta Faucet. Sink faucet is Delta Olmsted. My splurge item was the trim kit recessed chandelier light over the tub....it is from Beaux-Artes...here's the stock pic of it. I just adore it! It is elegant but understated. You have to click on the pic w/the art to see it all. Mine is in white below: I used a gray paint from Walmart called Country Fog...it is a light gray w/hint of blue. Here's the stock photo of cabinet hardware: Amerelle 8335EN Leaf Euro Pull, Nickel Here's my artwork for over the tub

You are awesome! The colors are perfect. Love the rug. What about recessed lights? How did they change? I know the older ones can be replace to give out more light but not sure of the details. Great job!
