Before: Cordelia knows her kitchen could be more dynamic and exciting, but she just doesn't know how to get there. She likes the cabinets, but the gold wall color blends into them too much and the blue countertops aren't very appetizing.

After: Orange walls, fresh white countertops and a touch of purple on the floor give Cordelia a space where her joy of life and passion for cooking and family comes through in full color.
Cordelia is a woman with a lot of heart and a lot of spirit. She's a dynamo in the kitchen and was taught everything she knows by her aunts, grandmother and mother. Cordelia, lovingly called "Auntie Chubby" by her nieces and nephews, now spends a great deal of time teaching many of her culinary talents to them. She'd like to spice up her cooking by adding a little color to her kitchen for inspiration. Host Jane Lockhart helps her find which colors can do that for her.

Jane's design tip: If you want a space to feel vibrant and energized, orange will do the trick!
