Cordelia's Kitchen

Before

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.

After

Cordelia likes the cabinets, but the gold wall color blends into them too much and the blue countertops aren't very appetizing. 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. Orange makes a space vibrant and energized, while purple represents creativity.
