Sneak Peek of 2013 Rockridge Kitchen Tour!

This past January, I dropped my daughter, Nia off at her friend's home for a sleepover and was totally inspired by this reinvented mid-century modernist kitchen.  The entire project was inspired by the 1956 Kelvinator side-x-side 'Foodarama' (literally it's name) Fridge.  Later I came to find out that this is one of the kitchens that will be featured in the 2013 Rockridge Kitchen Tour. Owners Diana and Craig used Architect was Struther Dias in San leandro:  www.strutherdias.com for the project.  

Here is a shot of fridge that was the beginning of it all.
