Light Fantastic

The extra-deep custom cabinets allow for a pop-up vent behind the range. Reproduction light fixtures are from Schoolhouse Electric and Supply Co.

Neutral Zone

Homeowner Yingzi Cao wanted a neutral look that could be accented with pops of color, like her green tea kettle.

Keep it Classic

The Rohl apron sink and Kohler faucet were chosen for their timeless look.

Sundstrom mounted outlet strips underneath the cabinets to maintain the seamless herringbone backsplash design.

Yingzi Cao’s Laurelhurst kitchen is a star. Just ask the 9,175 people (and counting) who’ve bookmarked a photo of the bright, airy space on home-remodeling website Houzz. That’s quite the fan base for what was once an obvious teardown. —Angela Cabotaje
