When I first started helping clients redesign their kitchens, I quickly realized how often the side of kitchen cabinets gets overlooked. These narrow, exposed areas are usually dismissed as “wasted space,” but in reality, they offer incredible opportunities for both storage and design. Adding shelves on the side of kitchen cabinets can completely change the…
When I’m working on a kitchen makeover, there’s one small detail I always pay close attention to—and that’s the end of kitchen cabinets. These exposed cabinet sides are often treated as an afterthought, but in reality, they’re a huge opportunity to elevate the entire kitchen.

When I design or remodel a kitchen, I’ve learned one thing very clearly: upper cabinets matter more than most people think.

Whether you’re planning a full kitchen makeover or just refreshing your cabinetry, grey offers a balance that few colors can match. I’ve worked with light greys, deep charcoals, warm greige tones, and…
Over the years, I’ve worked on kitchens of every shape and size, and one challenge shows up again and again: narrow spaces. Whether it’s a slim gap between appliances, a tight wall run, or a compact kitchen layout, these areas are often overlooked—or worse, left unused. That’s why I’m a huge advocate for narrow kitchen…
