C. .Jean Mattingly, Cer tified Kitchen Designer (CKD), manager of home modernization for GE tells of one such project involv ing the small kitchen of Jeanne and David Bassett of Monticello, KY. The kitchen had obvious problems involving insuf ficient storage space, in adequate lighting, inef ficient placement of appli ances and a lack of usable work space. Ms. Mattingly believed remodeling would solve these design problems. “The appliances were poorly arranged, storage areas were not convenient, and there wasn’t enough counter space,” she noted. “While windows provided light when it was bright outside, they weren’t used to their best advantage, and there wasn’t proper illumin ation for the work areas.” First, to increase usable work space^ functional countertQps were added, changing the shape of the kitchen from an “L” to a “U”. Adding the penin sula/bar across from the now side-by-side GE refrig erator also created addi tional convenient work space. Next, the problem of in sufficient storage space was solved by adding cabinets throughout the kitchen. Also, designing a small ap pliance center permits these appliances to be stored easily when not in use, but close at hand when needed. Additional storage was created with the ftoor-to- ceiling broom closet built next to the refrigerator, and overall kitchen space was increased by removing a small wall between the old kitchen and the new sitting area. The peninsula/bar now serves as a room divider as well. The GE 1200 Pot- scrubber® dishwasher’s lo cation allows easy loading and unloading of dishes on to this counter. Installing a grill-surface cooktop was another ef ficient use of space. Cabi nets are located beneath the unit, and in this particular -kitchen, slide-out shelves al leviate awkward bending and kneeling to reach pots and pans. Even the built-in spice rack places that extra dash of salt within reach. The cooktop, however, is only one component of the overall baking center. To the side of the cooktop is a built-in double oven micro- wave cooking center. The upper microwave features Automatic Cooking Control which incorporates special humidity sensors to auto matically adjust cooking time to the food being pre pared. The ovens were placed at an angle replacing the win dow over the old refrigera tor. As the designer pointed out, the window was of no value so was closed up. Illumination was improved by installing area lighting in the lowered ceiling and under-cabinet fluorescent lighting. This remodeled kitchen now permits more efficient work. Just as important, it possesses a pleasing appear ance and atmosphere that makes the Bassett’s house their dream home.
