Kitchen Design
AFTER: Once she opened the room, her next focus became devising a way to make it look agreeable. That meant disguising the washer and dryer, and making the water heater completely disappear. She tucked the laundry appliances beneath a countertop that can serve double-duty as extra serving space during holiday meals. She then hid the water heater inside custom Shaker-style cabinetry.

" Iridescent tile. The shimmer of an iridescent tile backsplash calls to mind the glint of sun on crystal-clear water and pearly shells beneath the waves. Even a small tiled area can make a big impact when it’s this gorgeous, so consider splurging on the tile you really want, even if it must be in a smaller area."
"As a result, Hickman created what he describes as a “European-style unfitted kitchen” rather than one with long runs of matching cabinets. “There’s not one single thing in this kitchen that’s attached to a wall,” he says. “If I decide the brown cabinet doesn’t work anymore, I can just move it and get something else. “If you subtract the fridge, I probably have a $2,000 kitchen remodel,” Hickman says. He bought the vintage stove on Craigslist for $250. The sink is a $40 find from a flea market. “These are the things I find interesting, and when I don’t, I’ll replace them with something else. I’ll have the freedom to do that.”"
"Though Hickman made changes throughout the home, the kitchen and bathroom needed to be gutted. “They were absolutely horrific. Terrifying. What I basically did was strip all of the ugliness out,” Hickman says. What remains are simple, spare spaces that invoke a sense of timelessness. “I conceptualize this house as a farmhouse,” even though it’s more pre-Craftsman,” Hickman says. “It’s got farm qualities to it, and I just instantly thought the kitchen should be very utility-based, like a farm kitchen — no-nonsense.”"
"Serendipity also played a role in the kitchen’s redesign. A friend sent Hickman a photo of an antique he might want to consider using in the space. Hickman wasn’t interested in that piece but was interested in the dark wooden cabinet in the background of the photo. The owner was willing to part with the cabinet for $700 and the kitchen’s centerpiece was established. “I fell in love with it,” Hickman says."
