 A WORD FROM SUZI KAITZ
General Manager of Kitchen Views
It’s amazing how a new kitchen changes the dynamics in a home. Over the
past month, I’ve had the privilege of visiting and photographing several of
our clients’ homes, learning about their design/build experiences and how the
outcome has impacted their lives. Some of their stories are shared in this issue
of Kitchen Views magazine, along with my own renovation tale. In each case,
you will see how the architectural changes surprisingly improved the quality of home life.
A story about developer Greg Burrill and his ten-year relationship with KV designer Harry Mangsen also
validates a trend that has become tradition: the importance of designing a kitchen that is more than a place
to cook. The open floor plans in so many new kitchens help to ensure that there is a place where life and
relationships are nurtured and savored, just like recipes that are passed from one generation to the next.
Enjoy each page, study each photo, and become inspired. That’s how to begin the process. And then, maybe
you’ll be convinced that there is one investment that is guaranteed to provide an incredible return. A new
kitchen.
Hope to meet you soon.

Ingrid adds that in addition to listening, Diane was masterful in

recalling their daily dance in a tight, galley kitchen. “The whole

John lights up, recalling those days when a bad kitchen was

in it. Rather than turning wistful, however, he chuckles at his
newfound fortune—the pasta’s already done.
