Have you ever stepped into a kitchen that just makes you want to immediately tie-on an apron & start cooking? I recently had the opportunity of photographing such a kitchen in my favorite Southern California beach town of San Clemente. Created by Designer Robert Puertas & constructed by Jeff Austin’s team at Austin Construction Inc. SoCal, this gorgeous Transitional-Retro kitchen pops with vibrant reds & yellows against a backdrop of sleek black, white & grey. The space is teeming with whimsical Americana details that make it a photographer’s (and cook’s!) dream. I could have spent all day in this kitchen – everywhere you look, there’s something fun & new to discover. High-tech. Bright. Open. Warm. Welcoming. Below, take a tour-through-photos of the revamped space – and prepare to be inspired! (You won’t believe your eyes when you get to the bottom and see the ‘BEFORE’ pictures!)
