The wife is a master baker and wants a kitchen that fits all her baking needs. In addition, the space just needs an overall update of cabinetry, appliances and fixtures.

Streamlined walnut cabinetry completely transforms the kitchen into a warm, contemporary space. To accommodate all the homeowners' need for storage, designer Kerrie Kelly took the cabinets all the way to the ceiling and then installed a library ladder for easy access.

Hands-free conveniences makes this kitchen a baker's delight. A pop-up mixing stand eliminates having to pull the heavy standing mixer out of a cabinet, and it doesn't have to be stored on the countertop all the time. Touchless faucets are also installed for when the baker is covered in flour and batter.

The low-maintenance solid surface countertops blend seamlessly into the neutral, earthy kitchen. Canned lights and simple pendants light the space without distracting from the clean lines of the kitchen.
