A dated kitchen is opened

and redone to relect Kailu

beautiful sand and sun.

MICHELE AND JIM WARREN’S OLD KITCHE

was much like every other kitchen builtin the 1960s — small and poorly planned

“Our old kitchen was dated, with ineffi

cient appliances and pressboard cabine

Michele says. “Not to mention, an elect

coil stove.” The couple’s goal was simpl

open, updated space to suit their family

needs. With two young sons — Kamero

and Colton, 3 — an old, cramped space j

wouldn’t do. The Warrens called in Jam

Jackson of Jamie Jackson Design to cre

the new, beach-inspired kitchen.

“I selected Jamie because she really

the ability to incorporate both ‘husband

and wife’ ideas together beautifully,”

Michele explains. “After all, we are bot

great cooks — at least we think so!” The

Warrens now have ample space to prep

cook, with a large island, two sinks, a h

open counter and brand-new appliance

“We would say our new kitchen has

changed our lives in the way that we ha

more great friends,” Michele laughs. “W

can entertain for big groups with ease. W

even have cooking parties because our

kitchen has so much more room to crea

Needless to say, Michele and Jim c

not be happier with the renovation — o

 both pe rsonal and prac tical l evels.
