Classic Kitchen Remodel in California Citrus Country
My cousin, Janice collaborated with designer,
K.C. McCook on the recent
remodel of her kitchen in their 1930’s Redlands, California home.
While I was visiting, my cousin, Billy made a healthier version of
Chasen’s Chili using ground turkey instead of beef.
Chasen’s Chili using ground turkey instead of beef.
Elizabeth Taylor once went to the extravagance of having it flown
to Romeon the movie set of “Cleopatra.”
Billy added Kahlua to the chili at the end as a secret ingredient (really secret as
I could not find any mention of it in the internet recipes).
Below, Janice installed a cast iron fireplace backplate similar to these surrounded by
Walker Zanger crackled sage-white subway tiles.
The arch in the doorway is mimicked throughout the entrance to the stairs and on
the double doored pantry.
This unused space has built-ins to store Janice’s table linens.
Hanging in the kitchen is this beautiful lemon still life that Janice painted.
Best wishes,
Mary Ann
PS. We froze the rest of the chili (which is supposed to make it even better)
so I am hoping to be invited back for another great dinner.

Beautiful kitchen … love the arched doors and the red oven rocks !!
I love your website classic, caual, home and your style. I was wondering about your fees and how your services work, i.e. commission on furniture, by the hour, etc. I need help with my living room and like the way you advertised, refreshing what you already have. By the way, your friend Claire's home is my dream home!
Thank you,

Like others I adore the red stove and the arched pantry door. Plus, the thought of a linen closet in the kitchen makes me very envious! I can see why you would want to visit!
Lovely home, especially the archways and that red stove!! love it. M.
You had me with the red stove but then I saw the arches. But my favorite is the painting of the lemons in the blue and white bowl. Divine.
I can't decide what my favorite feature of this kitchen is – but I have to say I love the pantry!!! I love the "secret ingredient" to the chili – I am definitely going to have to try that!!
Love her kitchen ♥
Love having a wide window like that facing the sink, I love looking at a garden view and the light that goes in from that window is much welcome too.
The lemon painting is seriously stunning ♥
Beautiful kitchen, I'm still trying to figure out the kahlua in the chili thing.
This kitchen is awesome! Love the ceiling, the rounded pantry doors, the red oven. Such great details.
Mary Anne, I adore this kitchen, how fun to have a red stove. She is also quite a talented artist!! Very enchanting!

This kitchen is absolutely stunning! It's just right, every detail is perfect, and nothing is overdone. She will not tire of this kitchen in a few years, nor will it look dated-ever.
Love that red stove!!! Your cousin Janice is a very talented artist. I love love still lifes on a black background so stunning, Kathysue
Janice did a beautiful job on the kitchen remodel and she is a fabulous artist! I love all the attention to detail and the exquisite finishes she chose. I would like to see the rest of the house, it looks like it has good bones.
Talent and taste runs in the family.
Jose Eber's new salon in Beverly Hills should be opening any moment. Elizabeth Taylor had quite the hand in the design. It should be something to behold.
What a great result they got. That red stove is to die for.
Happy weekend!

Omg I love that kitchen. The arched doors totally got the best of me. And I will always love plates on the wall, like the ones above the window. I'd be asking to go back for the chili AND a seat in that kitchen!

Love this kitchen. The Pantry, wow! I like the way they used chairs at the island. The arched doors are gorgeous. Love it all.
Your cousin is some artist. I paint and I know how difficult this would be.
