Your Dream Kitchen. What Would It Be!?!?
This week was the final of Bravo's new show Top Design. The final challenge was for both Matt and Carisa to design their dream loft. That is right, their client was themselves.
As a part of the design, they had $25,000 to use just for the kitchen ,this included GE Monogram appliances. Wow, and here we thought it would be Kenmore appliances.
Carisa's wanted a kitchen with lots of storage. She loves to entertain.
Matt's kitchen had a 48 inch wide stove and a marble back splash for his wife.
Both kitchens were wonderful, but it made us think. If we had $25,000 to remodel each of our home kitchens, what would we want to do?!?!
Tell us what you would do with $25,000 to remodel your kitchen. It cost nothing to dream!!
To Bravo:
You picked 2 lofts for the designers to remodel. Both located in the Santa Fe loft in downtown Los Angles. This building did not have a freight elevator and these poor men had to carry everything... and we mean everything from building materials, to furniture, to all the kitchen appliances up the fire escape. We have 1 word for you 3 times. Remember this Bravo.
Location, Location, Location!

I am afraid that $25,000 wouldn't be near enough to redo my kitchen. We built a new house 8 years ago, and the quote from a kitchen designer was $70,000. We ended up using the design services of Home Depot and our kitchen ended up costing about $40,000. It is a nice one, but not a show stopper. Judy
*Dream* kitchen?
- A fridge that never runs out of
milk.
- A pantry that always has something perfect for dinner in it that will satisfy three teenagers of wildly divergent appetites.
- A garage pail that empties itself without nagging, pleas and outright threats of violence.
We have a 3BR beach cottage that we rent out during "season". It has an open lanai off the mistress bedroom and a screened patio off the living room. It has a TINY freaking kitchen!!
Here's my idea. A THIRD patio off the kitchen accessible through a new door. Store and use the BBQ Grills and Smoker out there. Plus a nice cabinet to store items that are crammed into the TINY freaking kitchen.
We can't use the existing patio and lanai for outdoor cooking for various reasons. So, we haul the stuff to a community area 100 yards away and then constantly walk back to the TINY freaking kitchen to get stuff we forgot. With the new patio, everything is accessible through the new door and there's an existing large window over the sink/dishwasher that would also connect the two.
Slab of concrete. New door. Maybe a roof-over-hang thingee. That's got to be under 25 grand, right?

I have a 20+ year old condo. The kitchen is tiny and has all original appliances, knotty pine cabinets and only 2 drawers! One drawer is only 6" wide and the other only pulls out about 10" as it runs into my fridge. I need a total gut job! I'd love antiqued cream painted cabinets, wooden counter tops with subway tile back splash. So many dreams, so little money!
Dahlings, for $25,000 I would hire my own fab male chef to make me some fab dream dishes on demand. Yours truly eats out five days a week as it is. Why waste money on a kitchen? (Oh, I would spend some mulah on a wine cooler.)
nice kitchen
