Drew’s Corner Chateau

Losing the first challenge to Jonathan stings, but I have ways to get him back in the kitchen and dining room challenge. In my house, big things—like a custom painted barrel ceiling—come in small(er) packages, so I’ll pull out all my space-saving know-how to pack in a lot of storage and maintain comfort in both spaces.

Drew’s Before & After

Drew’s Design Highlights
THAT OLD CEILING

Our dining room’s beautiful painted plaster ceiling was integral to preserving the home’s historic character, but like everything else in the house, it needed an update. I carefully drilled a hole for the chandelier over the custom dinner table, and thankfully everything held up to create a beautiful combination of modern lighting to illuminate a priceless feature.

FOUNTAINS OF PAIN

You wouldn’t know it now, but we had to tear out a funky internal fountain in order to put in this kitchen storage and wet bar next to the hidden fridge and freezer–and it was not easy! The water damage the fountain created added to our problems, but that was nothing some heavy machinery couldn’t solve. All’s well that ends well, and this project ended up pretty perfectly.

BENCHWARMING

We didn’t have all the space Jonathan’s house had, but we made every inch count. We got creative and put a bench on the end of the island, so we could fit everyone around our kitchen table.

Jonathan’s House Next Door

Feeling pretty good after my first win, we went right into my strong spot: kitchens. And I was not going to leave anything to chance in this competition, so we went big everywhere: double islands, a wall of windows and a massive dining room addition. I might be going overboard to beat Drew … nah, not possible.

Jonathan’s Before & After

Jonathan’s Design Highlights
MORE BARRELS THAN DONKEY KONG

I remembered Drew’s house had a barrel ceiling in his dining room, so of course, I had to up the ante and do not one, not two, but four barrels in my dining room ceiling. What I couldn’t replicate, however, was that painted plaster, so I went to a Hollywood scenic specialist to recreate a domed brick ceiling that created exactly the look I wanted.

CEILINGS, NOTHING MORE THAN CEILINGS

More ceiling fun in the kitchen: we had to move all the recessed lights to fit within our beams, which we had already moved … and that was before we discovered we had to move our islands, too! All these moving pieces finally fell in place, though, and the result was something Drew couldn’t touch: massive wooden beams, two islands and plenty of kitchen seating.

PUTTING THE WIN IN WINDOWS

We wanted the seating room next to the kitchen to have so much natural light, we even created a see-through fireplace to let more light in! The size of this custom piece worried us a little bit at first, but ended up fitting in perfectly. Now we have a kitchen and dining area bathed in sunlight, perfect for quiet mornings or big family get-togethers.
