"It's hard to have two people cooking in a small space -- and it's obviously a tall person's kitchen. I'm not up to par!" -- Allie DunbarTHE HOMEOWNER
Allie and Andrew Dunbar
BEFORE
The Dunbar's kitchen creates a lose-lose situation for Allie and Andrew: Poor petite Allie can't reach things that have been stashed up high, while super-tall Andrew finds himself digging into the cabinets below the counter and getting things all over the floor. And because there's no middle ground in terms of storage, they end up with a cluttered countertop. Why should this charming young couple be punished for their height difference?
Enter Bob Richter, a professional interior designer with makeover-minute magic. He brought his bag of tricks which includes -- you guessed it -- plenty of wall-storage items to keep the countertops clear and the cabinets open. And because every substantial makeover also deserves some style, Richter brought in a few bursts of color to keep their kitchen cheery. The few red touches and fresh flowers make a world of difference.
AFTER
Allie and Andrew have a kitchen that accommodates -- and delights -- both of them. No more reaching up high, fighting for counter space or scrambling for pots in under-sink cabinets.
