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!

Chef Stephen Gets A Mötley Neighbor.

From Palm Beach Post. com

"STARS, STARS, STARS ...
A rock legend, a celebrity chef, an NFLer, a former college QB and a Palm Beach multimillionaire arts lover form a new motley crew culled by nightlife developers Cleve Mash and Rodney Mayo to build a new entertainment emporium slated to open in late summer on Clematis Street, downtown WPB.

Page Two hears Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, former Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Todd Wade and former Florida Gator southpaw quarterback Bob Hewko just signed a partnership with M&M to open a rock 'n' roll themed bar-restaurant named Dr. Feelgood's Rock Bar, after the 1989 album by Neil's band. The joint, in the space currently occupied by MonkeyClub, will be stuffed with Neil memorabilia and his Harley collection.

"Vince has a condo in Miami Beach and we met through a mutual friend," Mash said. "We've been talking to him about this for a while. He wants to give a free concert for the grand opening. He loves the location."

Next door, former Bravo cable network Top Chef star Stephen Asprinio, 24, is scheduled to open Forte Di Asprinio, an Italian joint, with his uncle, Palm Beach moneybags Bob Cuillo. He is founder of the nearby Cuillo Centre for the Arts."
