Kitchen of the Week: A Baker’s Dream Come True

This is the story of a Maryland mom who loves to bake, but her existing kitchen barely allowed her to do so. “Baking is her way of relaxing, and she’s well-regarded in the neighborhood and kids’ school for her baked treats,” designer Kirsten Kaplan says.

But it was hard to relax in the cramped and dark kitchen, much less roll out dough, store ingredients and equipment, and set up cooling racks. Plus, she and her husband wanted to work in the kitchen together but there just wasn’t enough room. A renovation gave them functionality, plenty of storage, a comfy eat-in area and a baker’s station that’s a dream come true.
