In this episode of Houzz TV Live, designer Donna McMahon of KE Interior Solutions takes viewers through her renovated kitchen and master bathroom in Denver. In the kitchen, flat-panel walnut cabinetry and marble-look quartz countertops bring in warm contemporary style. The hardworking peninsula has nine drawers and three interior rollouts that help maximize storage space and allowed McMahon to install less upper cabinetry for an airier look.
The master bathroom features a crisp, contemporary look with an ebony-stained floating vanity and gray-and-white tile. McMahon ditched a standalone shower and built-in tub for a spacious new shower with dual shower heads.

Hi Donna,
Your kitchen choices are sensible and very attractive. We also have induction cooktops and would never go back to gas. We also chose lift up, glass front cabinets, designed in Italy and sold from a Canadian distributor. Unfortunately, our doors used a gas/piston mechanism that gradually failed after four to five years. A fix was not feasible as we would have had to do it through two companies and our kitchen design co. - very complicated. And the replacement/repair cost would have been more expensive than the cost of the original doors which were very expensive (and with the expectation that eventually we would have the same problem). We decided to go with traditional doors. What type of lift mechanism do your cabinet doors use?
Hi donna pinto,
We have BLUM lift up mechanisms. They are pricey but the best. I had seen videos on youtube on how to install them.
I am sorry to hear about your doors.. I do just love the lift ups.
Thanks for your comments :)
Who is the manufacturer of the kitchen tile in the backsplash area. You mentioned that they sell these tiles in a mixed box. Beautiful job!!
