As most of us know, inside many of Seattle’s wonderful vintage homes, it’s not uncommon to discover a kitchen in dire need of serious attention or a newer kitchen sadly unrelated to its home’s architecture and period style. It is my assignment as your Kitchen Witch to remedy this dilemma by fashioning 21st-century kitchens, each one thoughtfully and lovingly detailed to truly compliment and enhance the history and grace of a bygone era.

The Kitchen Witch, born to bless and oversee the total kitchen setting, is required by law to have at least one capricious cat to assist with what continues to be a most unusual calling and huge responsibility, especially when the best assignments are inside the kitchens of Seattle’s irreplaceable vintage homes. I’ll admit to pulling rank to get the territory, but I did it only because I knew I would do the finest job with the utmost care.

Captivating neighborhoods with diverse cultural settings awaken the heart and salute the spirit of those who favor living in Seattle’s timeless houses. It’s here we find a range of people, from accomplished gourmet cooks to others who simply want their kitchen largely as a special place to rest, pour a sparkling glass of wine, or chat with a friend. All have unique style, assorted interests, and high expectations; many have a kitchen needing to happen. It is this understanding that draws The Kitchen Witch through open doors, into homes, requesting people’s trust and the trust of the walls that surround them. Although we must respect the past as we lead them to the future, most kitchens are more then ready for a warm hug and a smile.

I invite you to take a tour of the imagination. Step into my TOWERING WARDROBE and see the tall collection of hats I wear in order to bless kitchens properly. You’ll be awed by the scores of colors and quickly realize that I have a perfect choice for every situation and every occasion. Enter my MIRACULOUS BROOM CLOSET and explore its endless depth. Besides my broom, it’s in here I store a variety of amazing resources needed to complete wonderful projects. But please, do be careful not to step on CAT’s tail as he does enjoy sneaking in every once in awhile for a cozy nap. Take time to gaze into my CRYSTAL BALL and view two lovely kitchen transformations and one remarkable bathroom makeover, featured in Sunset Magazine. If you get lost, just click on CAT and he'll escort you HOME. He usually knows where he’s going and likes to lead the way.

Let me assure you, I have no magic, special powers, or formulas. What I have is a great deal of experience, immense respect for historical architecture, high standards, common sense balanced with imagination, a keen ability to see the big picture yet scrutinize the smallest details, and I do not get intimidated when multiple doorways lead into one room. Certification in kitchen design, a degree in interior design, and numerous years spent space planning tight spaces and managing large-scale jobs helped me to graduate with top honors from The Kitchen Witch Academy and fly off with passion to do what I was born to do. To get acquainted, either click on CAT’S MEOW or simply call me the old-fashioned way.

Warmest Wishes, 

The Kitchen Witch
