An Artful Kitchen Designed To Take The Heat

11/21/09

KITCHEN WITH A MISSION: Who wouldn’t love a kitchen with a soaring ceiling, sparkling lights wrapped around its beams and windows that open out onto the Mississippi River levee? A kitchen where you have everything you need right at your fingertips, with knives, pans and ingredients never more than an arm’s length away? And what if you designed and built it yourself without the aid of a professional or "store bought" fittings?


Meet Kathleen Kraus, a Holy Cross homeowner and renovator who not only cooks pretty much everything from scratch but built the kitchen she cooks it in from scratch as well.


"I really didn’t know how to build anything until I bought this house," she said. "But I got some books and figured it out. I built the wall cabinet where I keep dishes and glasses, the open base cabinet where I keep things like the rice cooker and Cuisinart and the drawers where I keep kitchen gadgets. I’m not finished yet – I’m going to build a place for spices and one for baking trays."
