Brooke and Mark’s kitchen seen here was a remodeling
project completed for and seen on the premiere episode of
“Moving Up” which aired January 29, 2005 on TLC. The
couple, with their growing family, moved up to a larger, four-
bedroom Victorian house & wanted to make it their own. By
removing a wall and starting from scratch, Designer Ian Cairl
was able to totally transform the space to reflect Brooke and
Mark’s personal style making it the focal point of the home.
Design elements include:    Quarter Sawn white oak cabinets
with a honey finish.  End grain black walnut pegs were added
to the corners of the shaker style doors and drawer fronts to
bring a nostalgic feel to these elements.  Soapstone
countertops and farm sink were selected to go with the
natural slate floor and back-splash.  A 48” Pro-style range
replaced an outdated wall oven and cooktop.  Finally, a
centrally located work station allows for food preparation,
homework and casual dining.

"...Without a doubt, you provided
the best service and design of any
contractor and supplier we have
ever worked with...Our kitchen is the
heart of our home and we could not
be more thrilled with everything
about it...You anticipated needs that
we would not have even
considered...you are remarkable in
your talent and wonderful as a
person."
