In this stunning transitional kitchen, distracting ceiling lines and awkward angles are no longer a concern. By incorporating gorgeous exposed ceiling beams and low-voltage lighting tracks with pin-spotting heads, designer Lauren Bland believes she was able to attract the eye to every inch of the spacious eat-in kitchen.

Before the dramatic transformation, the room's layout minimized functional cooking space by limiting the kitchen to half of the space.

Peaks and valleys in the ceiling were a distracting element in the kitchen that the homeowner worried could not be rectified.

"The main cooking area boasts a Wolf range and a custom-designed stainless ventilation hood, which has gorgeous little button details," says designer Lauren Bland.
