In episode 12 of season 2 of Kitchen Crashers, titled Blog Cabin, host Alison Victoria helps a family transform their outdated and cramped kitchen into a stunning and functional space. The family had recently purchased a charming 1950s bungalow, but the kitchen was stunted by a cramped layout and limited storage space.

To kick off the renovation, Alison introduces the family to a custom-built breakfast nook that maximizes seating and storage. The breakfast nook's bench seating features a built-in hydraulic system, allowing the family to access deep storage cubbies and hide away clutter. Alison then dives into a complete redesign of the kitchen layout. She swaps out the old L-shaped configuration for a fresh open-concept design, which adds much-needed counter space and storage opportunities.

As the demo crews work to remove walls and cabinetry, the family discovers that their kitchen is hiding a sinewy surprise in the wall: a massive pipe that courses through its center. In true Kitchen Crashers fashion, Alison and her team work around the obstacle, concealing it behind a sleek new backsplash and added shelving.

The family's small kitchen is not conducive to their cooking needs either. With a passion for cooking and baking, the cramped space was making it hard for them to prepare meals. So, Alison introduces new appliances suited to their needs. A larger refrigerator and a dual-fuel range with a convection oven make meal prep easier. Alison’s team also adds a new second oven, a dishwasher and a custom-built range hood, which adds both a modern flair and a bit of nostalgia to the space.

Alison extends the unique features to the kitchen countertops, which are made of a stunning Carrera marble. The marble not only brightens the space but also adds sophistication and elegance to the design. For the backsplash, she chooses a unique hexagonal shape in dark blue, providing a contrasting yet complementary color scheme.

To make the most of the kitchen’s footprint, Alison also installs sleek new cabinets with storage solutions that maximize every inch of the space. Custom pullouts, glass-panelled cabinet doors, and open shelves all offer versatile storage. LED under-cabinet lighting accents the cabinets.

Lastly, as a fun nod to the family's newly installed black-and-white hexagonal backsplash, Alison adds a geometric touch to the kitchen’s seating area. An old chandelier is replaced with a modern, black-and-white geometric pendant light, tying in the room's theme perfectly.

Overall, Kitchen Crashers season 2 episode 12, Blog Cabin, is a testament to how creative thinking, smart storage and appliances can transform a cramped, dated kitchen. Alison Victoria again proves she is the host with the most, inspiring viewers and homeowners alike to create dream kitchens with a touch of flair and creativity.
