Dream Home 2005 Kitchen Tour

Click here to take a virtual tour of the kitchen and the rest of Dream Home 2005.

Fused in rustic and modern sensibilities, the kitchen is resplendent with state-of-the-art appliances your neighborhood restaurant would be grateful to have. There is two of everything - dishwashers, refrigerators (actually one large refrigerator and one large freezer) and sinks - along with a professional gas range surrounded by dramatic Texas limestone.

Open to the great room, the bucolic kitchen is defined by not only the creamy limestone and shiny stainless steel appliances, but by interior designer Linda Woodrum's choices as well. "Because of the rusticness of that stone," Woodrum explains, "it seemed like it would be fun to have cabinets that are open...very simple and plain. And it's a very highly-functional kitchen."

Is it ever. On top of the dual dishwashers, sinks and refrigerators, the center granite-topped island is a wonderfully wide workspace that will allow family and friends to pitch in and either prepare or clean up alongside each other. The big freezerless refrigerator in the kitchen holds plenty of room for perishables, while the freezer in the pantry serving as the perfect companion.

The walk-in pantry is a great little addition, with plenty of extra cabinets, shelves, drawers and counter space. Along with the freezer, there is a refrigerated wine cooler for the ultimate in convenience and style. By providing crucial storage adjacent to the kitchen, the new owners will be free from clutter, allowing the kitchen appropriate decor.

Added bonuses are the two wood-framed windows that provide the pantry natural light and enough Shop-At-Home appliances and kitchen accessories to make previous HGTV Dream Homes blush.
