not your typical little Debbie
The kitchen renovation involved a lot of juggling, with new appliances, reconfigured and painted cabinetry, and a backsplash. Brazilian blue granite countertops caught Debbie’s eye as something that needed to be salvaged. “The old kitchen itself was very plain, but the countertops were stunning and just popped out,” she explains.
Painter Peggy Del Rosario went to work, softening the stark white cabinetry with a Swedish/Gustavian finish. A similar faux finish on the walls gave the space an old-world feeling. McKinney designed a comfortable banquette that seats up to eight people in the eat-in kitchen.
