K I T C HE N S Mountain Town Kitchens The Kitchen, where the party starts and ends. If you're planning your dream kitchen from scratch or your kitchen layout needs renovating or you simply want to refresh a tired color scheme, now is the perfect time to create the kitchen of your dreams. But what's hot in the world of kitchen design and how does it fit into your vision? Today's kitchen design incorporates perfectly blended form and function while technology inserts itself into the recipe, increasingly present in your appliances to help make day to day life a little easier. The kitchen is considered the heart of the home so it makes sense to make it a family dream space whether that’s with a traditional country style, handcrafted woodsy look or an ultra-modern sleek design. It has always been the hub of all activity but the kitchen has evolved with open concept living to make living and cooking an all in one experience. Today a mix of standout finishes and materials to create zonal kitchen schemes are not restricted by four walls or customary layouts. For some, the kitchen is still a space to love and cherish as well as show off some of your favorite appliances and utensils. For others it a space with clean lines where everything is hidden away and does not impose on a luxurious living area. We sat down with Wendy Yates the Creative Director and Founder of Abigail-Elise Design Studio (AE) and Well Fit Human Retreats to discuss our favorite room in the house, the kitchen, to get ideas and inspiration for your project. Yates has designed some beautiful mountain town homes and award-winning kitchens and shared a few tips with us. "Currently, we have been incorporating floor to full height cabinetry on one perimeter of the kitchen layout with roll-out trays for all of the appliances; Although this eliminates a bit of counter space, it creates a great opportunity to hide all the necessary small appliances that can create clutter while still keeping them accessible.�
