editor’s note
Cheers to Great Kitchens … and Butterscotch Pie In my position at the helm of Northern Home & Cottage, it’s hard not to play the imagination game. This time of year, the object of the game is to dream up the ultimate kitchen for Up North holiday cooking. No need to mull this one for long. For starters I’d take a kitchen sink like my grandmother had—you know, that big, wide, white basin where there’s room to drain the bundles of fresh herbs for the turkey stuffing. I want the spirit of my kitchen to be warm and old fashioned, but I’m also drawn to the sleek and smart function of today’s kitchen accoutrements. No dim, cramped cooking quarters. Give me lighting I can slice and dice by, a refrigerator spacious enough to thaw a brawny turkey and an oven that bakes the crust of homemade butterscotch pie (my family’s holiday favorite that I’ve adopted from the Joy of Cooking) to an even, toasted hue. All of which brings me to this issue of Northern Home & Cottage, where we’ve offered up a retrospective of the greatest kitchens we’ve featured this last decade. In the spirit of the season, we’ve picked just 12—and let me
tell you the talented designers and craftsmen behind the kitchens that have graced our pages made whittling down the pool to just a dozen, an agonizing decision. I hope you’ll think of this issue as the holiday gift to our readers we want it to be. And please find that recipe for butterscotch pie at mynorth.com/butterscotchpie. It is an old-fashioned recipe from Joy of Cooking (originally published in 1931 by Irma S. Rombauer, who penned much of it on her porch at her Bay View cottage just north of Petoskey). FYI, it’s also stored in our MyNorth.com recipe collection—which, by the way, is a gift in itself. Perusing the 800+ recipes we’ve published in Traverse Magazine over the years is simply delicious. The happiest holiday to you, dear readers!

Ah, what to do with the outdated condo kitchen? The homeowners told kitchen designer Liz Jerore of @Home Cabinetry & Interiors simply that they wanted it to “feel like a warm hug.” Jerore got the message, delivering this complete kitchen makeover that makes us feel as much like we fell into a bowl of gingerbread dough as we do hugged. That gingery look comes from the copper strips in the hood range, the range knobs, apron-sink and faucet—small elements that pop big against this black and white kitchen. All of that creamy custom cabinetry conceals clever storage in every available space.

The homeowners worked with designer Marty Rhein of Bay Area Contracting to renovate a 1960s kitchen to accommodate a modern family of four. Counter-to-ceiling subway tiles, shiplap paneling and floating shelves give it a contemporary accent, while custom cabinetry by Wooden Hammer ground the style in timelessness. The fabulous 39-by-95-inch island, topped with a 3-inch quartz countertop is big enough for family craft projects—and tough enough to hold up to them. A prep sink located a cutting board’s-length away from the stove is a cook’s dream. And a refrigerator tucked next to the entrance streamlines bringing in the groceries.

The homeowners of this distinctive kitchen define themselves as winter people—they love snow and love to ski, so they wanted a home that felt as rustic as a mountain lodge. Jill Brecheisen of Kitchens by Design helped them solidify their ideas with this standout kitchen that evokes home and hearth sentiments. The feel is created by touches like the furniture piece at the end of the counter, the cordovan-colored granite (the designer calls it “cowboy leather”), the natural-wood framed and paned windows, copper apron sink, antique-white furniture-footed cabinetry and the perfectly period CCC-era blue-green wall color.

is clear in this Asian-inspired kitchen renovation. A large entertaining kitchen was important to the couple; each of them loves to cook. To achieve the desired openness but also maintain a neat, welcoming space, Holdeman drew an open kitchen with an adjacent “working kitchen� where messes are easily concealed. Lankford outfitted the entertaining space with his signature clever efficiency, using custom mahogany cabinetry and a stone-slab backsplash.

Like the control center it is, the kitchen sits at the far end of the great room, fronted by the dining area and bar and flanked by a breakfast nook on one side and pantry/ mudroom area on the other. Hiding mess and fuss is easy and nothing impedes the entertaining flow.

These homeowners raised their family in a cramped, true farmhouse kitchen that had seen its last remodel in the 1940s. The mother of the family of five washed a lot of dishes over the years—all in a sink that didn’t even have a window over it, depriving her of a view of the family’s orchard. When they were ready to remodel they turned to Marty Rhein (now with Bay Area Contracting) for help with layout and surface elements. Since the wife—the main cook—loves visitors in her kitchen, but not underfoot, Rhein created two passageways from the adjoining dining/living area, one leading to the galley side of the kitchen and the other to the eating/hanging-out side. He also used some gorgeous oak that the husband had milled years before for oldstyle molding, a touch that marries the new kitchen with rest of the vintage farmhouse.
