Building Our Dream Kitchen: A Tour with Marc and Mandy
Functional and stylish kitchen design is essential for creating a space that is not only beautiful but also practical for everyday use. In a recent episode, Marc and Mandy shared their experience with designing their new kitchen and the thought process behind choosing appliances that are both functional and stylish.
The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, where families gather to cook, eat, and socialize. Marc and Mandy wanted their kitchen to be a gourmet, entertaining space that was not only pretty but also highly functional. They worked with Canadian Appliance Source to select appliances that would meet their needs and fit their design aesthetic.
One of the key elements of their kitchen design was a neutral color scheme, with a mix of materials and finishes. Working together with the experts at Gateway Kitchen & Bath, they chose a pewter island and quartz countertops and then complimented the design with stainless steel appliances. This combination of colors and textures created a modern and sophisticated look that was both timeless and on-trend.
When it came to selecting appliances, Marc and Mandy focused on functionality and convenience. They chose a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator with features like fingerprint resistance, can caddy, and bright LED lighting. They also opted for a KitchenAid under-counter microwave to save counter space and encourage independence in the kitchen.
For cooking and baking, they selected a KitchenAid electric range with a steam rack for added humidity and a self-cleaning feature for easy maintenance. They also installed a KitchenAid custom hood and liner for proper ventilation during cooking.
In terms of cleaning up, Marc and Mandy chose a KitchenAid dishwasher with a whisper-quiet run, high-temperature sanitation cycle, and delay start option. This allowed their kids to easily help out with emptying and filling the dishwasher, making chores more manageable and efficient.
Overall, Marc and Mandy’s kitchen design showcased the importance of balancing style and functionality in a modern kitchen. By selecting appliances that were not only visually appealing but also practical and easy to use, they were able to create a space that was both beautiful and highly functional for their family’s needs. Their attention to detail and thoughtful selection of appliances set the foundation for a kitchen that is sure to be enjoyed for years to come.
