The best holiday conversations usually happen in the kitchen. Focusing on measuring, peeling, chopping and basting, we can chit chat or go for a deep dive with fellow cooks. Yes, a good kitchen will have thoughtfully spaced appliances, a ton of storage and plenty of work surfaces, but more importantly, a well-designed kitchen will invite conversations, with well-lit places for all the peelers.
This pretty kitchen by The Designery was created by owner Allie Hauser to showcase sleek countertops, trendy tile and custom storage solutions that the company is known for. Allie and her team of creatives manage kitchen, bath and closet remodel products and new builds.
"My inspiration for this design was to show clients that warm neutrals can be just as beautiful and timeless as white kitchens," says ALlie. By introducing subtle warmth through neutral tones and the natural texture of quartersawn white oak, the space achieves a fresh, elevated look that feels both inviting and sophisticated."
The kitchen features Fieldstone Cabinetry in the Coral Hills Inset door style. The perimeter cabinets are finished in Mushroom on maple, while the island showcases a Lake Solo finish on quartersawn white oak. Both the perimeter and island countertops are leathered Fantasy Brown, with mitered edges and dual waterfall panels on the island for a refined, contemporary touch.
This month, our design partner, Andria Parker of Haven Lane, decorated one of the bright kitchens in The Designery's expansive showroom.
Andria rolls out a special Hanukkah gathering with splashes of festive blue and a menorah as a reverent focal point for the kitchen.
"Fresh, elevated look that feels both inviting and sophisticated. Hanukkah is such a special time for our family. Every Hanukkah feels like a celebration not just of the season, but of being together," says Allie. "The house is always filled with laughter, joy, and the sounds of kids running around the living room. We light the candles together, sing the blessings, exchange gifts, and soak in the glow of being surrounded by people we love. One of my favorite traditions is my Aunt Sheryl’s special treat, caviar on latkes with sour cream. It’s something we all look forward to every year."
