Vol . 20 Issue 1 Kitchens 2025
Editor-in-Chief Marc Atiyolil www . MarcAndMandy . com hey say the kitchen is the heart of the home and I couldn ’ t agree more . It ’ s where family and friends gather , where meals turn into memories , and where design meets everyday function . Whether you ’ re whipping up a quick breakfast or hosting a dinner party , a well-designed kitchen makes all the difference .
In this special kitchen issue , we ’ re bringing you a mix of inspiration , expert renovation advice , and mouthwatering recipes to help you make the most of your space . From layout planning to choosing the perfect finishes , we ’ ll explore the details that transform a kitchen from purely practical to effortlessly stylish .
Recently , Mandy and I wrapped up our third build for The Marc and Mandy Show , and let me tell you , this kitchen was a showstopper . We embraced a sleek , modern aesthetic with dual-tone cabinetry , pairing matte gray Helios lowers with soft white Athena uppers from Rona +. A statement-making 10-foot island with a waterfall-edge porcelain countertop from Ciot became the centerpiece of the space , proving that function and beauty go hand in hand .
One of our favorite features ? The Galley Workspace from Euro-Line Appliances — a double-faucet sink system that redefines efficiency and makes cooking ( and cleanup !) a breeze . It ’ s the kind of smart design that turns an everyday kitchen into a dream space .
Whether you ’ re planning a full renovation , making small upgrades , or just looking for new recipes to test out , we ’ ve packed this issue with everything you need to create a kitchen that works for you . After all , a great kitchen isn ’ t just about style . It ’ s about the memories you create in it .
Happy designing and happy cooking !
