- February 4, 2012
Candice Tells All is a home renovation television series featuring interior designer Candice Olson as she takes on various home design projects and transforms spaces into beautiful, functional living areas. Season 3, Episode 2 titled "Lofty Kitchen Design," follows Candice as she works on redesigning a kitchen in a loft space.
The episode starts off with Candice meeting with the homeowners, a couple looking to update their kitchen. The space is located in a trendy loft-style condo in the city, and the homeowners are looking for a modern, eclectic design that will blend in with the rest of the condo's aesthetic while still standing out as a highlight of the home.
Candice starts off the design process by assessing the space and taking note of its features and limitations. With high ceilings and large windows providing ample natural lighting, Candice decides to go for a bright and airy design that incorporates natural materials like wood and stone. She also aims to create functional areas within the kitchen space, such as a designated cooking area, a dining space, and a socializing area.
To make the most of the high ceilings, Candice decides to install tall cabinetry that goes all the way up to the ceiling and utilizes all available wall space. She chooses white cabinets with minimalist hardware to keep the space looking sleek and modern. For the countertops, Candice selects a gray granite material with subtle veining that provides a bit of visual interest without being too busy.
Next, Candice tackles the island in the center of the kitchen. Using a large natural wood tabletop, she creates a breakfast bar area that also provides ample workspace for cooking and preparing meals. She pairs it with gray stools with wooden legs that tie in with the rest of the kitchen's design.
Moving on to lighting, Candice chooses a large, statement pendant light to hang over the island. She also installs smaller, more subtle recessed lights throughout the rest of the space to provide ample lighting without overpowering the natural light already present in the kitchen.
Finally, Candice adds a few finishing touches to bring the kitchen design together. She selects a few eclectic decor pieces like a vintage-looking clock and a few artistic vases to add personality to the space. She also chooses a few kitchen appliances that are sleek and modern, like a stainless steel refrigerator and oven.
At the end of the episode, Candice presents the finished kitchen design to the homeowners, and they are thrilled with how it turned out. The space is now bright, functional, and perfectly suited to the couple's needs. Overall, "Lofty Kitchen Design" is a great episode for anyone who loves modern, eclectic home design, and it showcases Candice Olson's talent for creating beautiful spaces that are both functional and beautiful.
