New condominium kitchen with painted cabinets, light blue island, glass mosaics
Condominium kitchen remodel by interior designer Catherine Schager featuring pale blue island, ocean-blue herringbone glass mosaic backsplash

It's only natural to want to change a few things when you move house. But for the new owner of this condo, the existing kitchen was so awkward to work in that she simply refused to use it.
Interior designer Catherine Schager of Catherine Schager Designs, Northbrook, ILsays creating a new kitchen was therefore a critical part of a whole-house remodel.
"The original kitchen was large but not well organized," she says. "There was a tiny, oddly shaped pantry and a peninsula that cut the space in two."

Schager had a wall removed between the kitchen and dining room, creating space for a large island. She also changed the position of the refrigerator and microwave oven, and introduced a new double oven and a spacious pantry.
"The kitchen features Holiday Kitchen cabinetry provided by Kitchen Design Partners, and two different Cambria countertops. The perimeter countertop resembles marble, while the island top has a more lively granite look, with a touch of blue to complement the cabinetry."
Other features include an ocean-blue herringbone glass mosaic backsplash.

Catherine Schager Designs specializes in kitchen and bath design that is focused on the client's needs and desires.
