MICHELE AND JIM WARRENS OLD KITCHEN

Made in Hawaii

The kitchen island is made of more than 1,000 pieces of solid teak blocks, glued together by Hawaiian Woodworks Inc. on Kauai.

was much like every other kitchen built in the 1960s small and poorly planned. Our old kitchen was dated, with inefficient appliances and pressboard cabinets, Michele says. Not to mention, an electric coil stove. The couples goal was simple: an open, updated space to suit their familys needs. With two young sons Kameron, 8, and Colton, 3 an old, cramped space just wouldnt do. The Warrens called in Jamie Jackson of Jamie Jackson Design to create the new, beach-inspired kitchen. I selected Jamie because she really has the ability to incorporate both husband and wife ideas together beautifully, Michele explains. After all, we are both great cooks at least we think so! The Warrens now have ample space to prep and cook, with a large island, two sinks, a huge open counter and brand-new appliances. We would say our new kitchen has changed our lives in the way that we have more great friends, Michele laughs. We can entertain for big groups with ease. We even have cooking parties because our new kitchen has so much more room to create! Needless to say, Michele and Jim could not be happier with the renovation on both personal and practical levels.

Remodeling a house is a huge undertaking for a family and Jamie was just amazingly patient and wonderful to work with, Michele says. Not only was Jamie in our life for the long duration of the remodel, she remains in our life as a wonderful friend.

Since the homeowners couldnt agree on where to put the burners, there are two sets: one on the island and one on the countertop.

The open counter inside leads to the outdoor lanai, which is great for no-mess meals with the kids, says homeowner Michele Warren.
