In this Episode
Designer Jennifer Worts reveals how to add timeless materials, focal points, display zones and restaurant-style touches to an eat-in kitchen. Elegant marble counters, Shaker-style cabinets and jewel-like glass pendant lights combine in a sophisticated yet family-friendly space. Design-TV executive Michelle Kosoy leads a tour through her cosy principal suite, living room, Vicente Wolf-inspired kitchen, dining room and mudroom. Learn how to blend bold patterns and contemporary finishes with kid-proof materials and smart storage. Toronto designer Kirsten Marshall of Palmerston Design Consultants shows off a smart kitchen renovation. See how knocking down the wall between the kitchen and dining room made a 10-foot-wide space seem spacious and open.
