In this Episode
Cameron MacNeil tours a kitchen that went from drab and dated to warm and white. Learn how opening up a space to include a stunning statuario marble island and investing in rich details such as to-the-ceiling cabinets, bare-oak floors and custom lighting make a kitchen more stylish and spacious. Lynda Reeves shows us her top three items for 2011: a can't-live-without iron, pretty fair-trade linens, and a convenient cookware stand. Plus, designer, TV host and author Thom Filicia explains the inspiration behind his new line of furniture.
