Add Personality to Your Kitchen

Add an inspirational sign in lieu of the traditional backsplash. 
For many families, the kitchen is the most commonly used room in the entire house. It's where we spend the most time, besides our bedroom. Our kitchens have evolved over time in that they are no longer a closed off area from the rest of the house where it's only function is to make dinner.  The Kitchen has become an all-purpose, all-inclusive room. We begin the day there with a cup of coffee  catching up on daily news, make lunches, sort the mail, help our kids with homework, and with the rise of open concept floor plans, probably even eat dinner in the kitchen if space allows for a bar or small table.

Since the Kitchen is one of the rooms where we spend the most time, we think it should reflect your family's unique personality. We searched though Houzz.com and our collection of houses we built to find you some of the best ways to add personality to your kitchen.

* Take command of your command center: 

This command center is *perfect* for hiding everyday clutter behind closed cabinet doors.  
Create a charging station for your devices that you can stow away. 

* Accent with color. 
Add pops of your favorite color, like we did with red in our model home in Rolling Hills.

* Change it up: 

Renovating? Opt for a non-traditional island like this Kitchen's wood slab island.

* Coffee anyone?
 
Create a coffee bar with meaningful photos or special memories to enjoy as you sip.  

* Create a baker's corner: 
For the one who loves baking, this baker's nook in our model home at 12 Roger is perfect for you!

 * Make room for the bar cart:
 
This option doesn't require any renovation- just a corner for a bar cart!

 *Spice things up:

Green thumb? Create an area for herbs and spices you use regularly.

*Shed some accent light:

Add under-cabinet lighting like our model at 20 Maiden to accent your backsplash and highlight other features.

* Shut the barn door: 

Save space by switching out your standard pantry door with a sliding barn door. It also adds character!
