Canadian Home Trends What is your
favourite design element in this kitchen?
Jane Lockhart Its height, which makes it a
very dramatic space.
CHT Why did you decide to use two
different counter tops within the space?

homeowner to have two, different looks.

The island is granite; the back counter top is
quartz ; allowing the homeowner to have two different types of work
surfaces.
CHT What is your favourite material to use in a kitchen?
JL Granite, but I also love the bleached blonde hardwood, which we
have not seen in a long time. It looks modern when combined with
the dark brown.
CHT Can you offer words of wisdom to readers looking to re-design
their kitchen this fall?
JL Hire a professional! Kitchen design is more complex than it ever
used to be with so many appliances and details that you have to
know. Pick your appliances first, then cabinetry. Also, understand
your budget.
CHT Describe your design style in a few words.
JL Clean and modern with a nod to transitional styling.
