Favorite Feature

Dissapearing Act 
"I think a kitchen looks really polished when the utilitarian features are out of sight," Jessica says. She had an outlet added to the back of a cabinet to house the microwave and also chose a cabinet with a pullout waste bin. "No one wants to see your trash can," she says.

Save—and Splurge
"Stock cabinets now have so many of the features you love in custom cabinetry but at a much lower price," Jessica says. She found some in a Shaker style from Shenandoah Cabinetry and topped them with natural limestone counters for a luxe look.
