Natalie Myers\u2019s clients bought their Los Angeles home after it had been renovated on the cheap by a pair of house flippers. The design lovers weren\u2019t enthusiastic about the results, but the house was within their budget, they saw its potential, and they wanted to settle in quickly for the impending arrival of their twins.<\/p>\n

According to Myers, an LA interior designer and principal of Veneer Designs, the flipped kitchen was big, \u201cyet oddly there was a lot of wasted space.\u201d A monolithic island encroached on the dining space, a vent hood blocked views into the rest of the house, and \u201cdecades-old cabinets with an illogical configuration were painted over and given new Euro-style pulls to look refreshed, without being user friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted my clients to have an airy, open kitchen that flowed into and out of the rest of the house,\u201d said Myers. Here\u2019s how she achieved the look.<\/p>\n

Above: Myers installed walnut veneer cabinets in a natural oil finish, configured to highlight an \u201cattention-grabbing cooking zone\u201d with generous countertop prep space. The clients wanted to avoid the heavy feel of overhead cabinets, so opted for open shelving instead. A vintage killim runner adds color to the wood-and-white space.<\/p>\n

Above: The kitchen island and countertops are Qortstone, in Winter White. Inside the kitchen island, Myers installed a Masonite panel painted in Benjamin Moore\u2019s Jamestown Blue (the same color as the house\u2019s front door). On either side of the kitchen window, she installed a Fairfax Sconce from Park Studio in LA.<\/p>\n

Myers completed the kitchen remodel in only six weeks\u2019 time. The impending arrival of the couple\u2019s twins \u201cput the project on a hyperdrive schedule, since we wanted the dust settled and cleaned before the babies arrived,\u201d said Myers. Luckily, her clients had remodeled before, and were pros at communicating their ideas and \u201cquickly deciding what they liked and didn\u2019t like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Above: For the kitchen faucet, Myers specified the Trinsic Single Handle Pull-Down Faucet from Delta, in Champagne Bronze.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Above: The flipped kitchen was \u201cpretty basic,\u201d said Myers. \u201cNot bad, but not special. I knew we could do so much better.\u201d She was able to keep the kitchen window, unchanged.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Above: Despite its many cabinets, the kitchen was not practical for the new owners of the house.<\/p>\n
