Many of you dream of taking a sledgehammer to one of your kitchen walls, opening the room up to the living or dining area. More light! Interaction with your family and dinner guests! (Personally, I'm the opposite; I actually built a wall to close off my kitchen.) But this kitchen definitely benefitted from the former frame of mind. The result? More

At first we couldn't quite get behind the zig-zaggy, dropped ceiling in this space. But once we realized its purpose (and saw the cramped, dark room before) we were on board. This is not a huge kitchen, and the owners made it feel open and expansive. Go take a look. More

Some people have open racking, some people love their cabinets. Others are fortunate to have a walk in pantry, but they always seem to easy to clutter up. This transformation takes an average pantry from bogged down to beautiful in just a few seconds and can be implemented into your own kitchen, no matter what type of storage space you have! More

Yesterday we showed you a $1,527 kitchen renovation. Well, this lovely re-do was only $500. It goes to show how much of a difference a little paint can make. We were stunned by this. Are you ready? More

A serious treat for you today! Here is a kitchen before and after designed by Patrick James Hamilton, one of our own long-time readers and commenters (you may known him as patrick (the other one)), and a talented designer in his own right. His client is a gentleman and a deft chef, and he wanted to find the genteel grace within a purely utilitarian late 60's-era kitchen, an oddity in this otherwise Old-World and handsomely appointed home.

This bright, happy kitchen belongs to Bonnie, a crafter, gardener, and Etsy seller in North Carolina who bought her grandmother's house and turned it into a modern, no-doilies-in-sight kind of place. Ok, maybe there's a doily in there somewhere, but isn't it inspiring? Click to see more before and after shots, including those great IKEA countertops. More

This beautiful kitchen renovation belongs to an artist. Wendy Sutter is a cellist who has performed widely in classical and modern music, and who has collaborated with (and now dates) composer Philip Glass. She also loves food and cooking, and her New York apartment kitchen was recently remodeled by Luke Mulvey. Take a look at this lovely space. More

Even though we try our best to only keep the bare essentials on hand as far as kitchen tools and utensils go, that doesn't mean that what remains, even if organized should be shown off to company. Our IKEA island has clear front drawers that face our living room and we were tired of showing off our pastry tips, spices and even DVD collection to company! More

Take a look at this amazing kitchen renovation from Francesca, an interior designer who also sent us this glamorous kitchen remodel. This time she tackled a tiny kitchen in a 400-square-foot studio, and the results are stunning! More

We always love a good kitchen before-and-after! This one is especially interesting to us, since Eric and Christine tore out granite countertops to put in what looks like Corian or manmade stone counters. Is this another sign of the end of granite's domination? Regardless, we just love the sleek, light look of this big family kitchen. More
