It’s only natural to want to change a
few things when you move house. But for
the new owner of this condo, the existing
kitchen was so awkward to work in that
she simply refused to use it.
Interior designer Catherine Schager of
Catherine Schager Designs, Northbrook, IL
says creating a new kitchen was therefore
a critical part of a whole-house remodel.
“The original kitchen was large but not
well organized,” she says. “There was a
tiny, oddly shaped pantry and a peninsula
that cut the space in two.”
