HGTV's Kitchen Cousins Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri take a worn out kitchen with dismally dated appliances and low-hanging cabinets, then blow it open to join it with the living and dining rooms, creating one huge modern living space. This transformation is just the thing for a dedicated baking enthusiast and for a couple who loves to entertain.

Kitchen Cousins Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri transformed a dated and dysfunctional kitchen into this modern rustic space that's specially conceived to be the ideal baker's kitchen.

After the renovation by cousins and licensed contractors Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, the Tezanos-Pinto's kitchen now features open walls, an island with a large butcher block prep area, new teal & white cabinets, new appliances and Carrera marble countertops, a large teal "designer" range, a wall oven, and a bakery corner complete with open pantry storage and a blackboard for Britney, an avid home baker, as seen on America's Most Desperate Kitchens.

A custom baking station is a keynote feature in the new kitchen design that incorporates a generous amount of open shelving and a dedicated prep area with butcher block countertop.

New baker's shelves are treated in a ceruse finish, a subtle overlay of white paint that fills and reveals the wood's grain lines. The technique is sometimes referred to as a pickled or a limed wood finish.

Prior to the renovation, the dining room was isolated from the kitchen and seldom used. Designers John and Anthony removed a wall to unify the spaces and create this open and inviting dining area with a beautiful farmhouse table.
