What a Kitchen Pro Knows
By
Terri Sapienza


After Two Decades of Designing Kitchens, Jennifer Gilmer Just Did Her Own. Jennifer Gilmer's name is practically synonymous with high-end kitchen design in the Washington area. For 21 years, the Maryland native has been advising clients on the advantages of custom cabinetry, the differences between granite and quartz countertops and the importance of not skimping on appliances or table space. Her Chevy Chase showroom is a one-stop shop for kitchen designs large and small, budgets fat and, sometimes, not so fat.
 

 

 

 

 


So when time came to renovate the kitchen in the Bethesda bungalow she shares with her husband, Bill, she knew precisely what she wanted. Until she met architect Amy Gardner.

Kitchens That Make Up in Sizzle What They Lack in Size

When Phyllis d'Hoop (a Jennifer Gilmer Kitchen & Bath, Ltd. client) stands gazing at the Washington National Cathedral through the kitchen window of her 1910 Mount Pleasant house, she will be able, almost without moving her feet, to reach into her under-counter dishwasher drawers, her scaled-down Sub-Zero refrigerator, her freezer drawers, her microwave oven, her steamer oven and her double sink.

Managing the Stress
by Sara Wildberger

 

 

 

 

 

Once your plans and professionals are in place, it'll hit home that you'll be living without a kitchen for at least several weeks.

Designer Jennifer Gilmer is thinking of creating a portable kitchenette to bring to those who are remodeling. In the meantime, she says, "set up a space that's comfortable to you–not in the basement or someplace dark and dingy" for a temporary kitchen with coffeepot, microwave, and maybe a toaster oven. You can usually leave your refrigerator plugged in where it is through much of the job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"What creates a lot of tension is when there's dust everywhere," Gilmer says. Tell contractors that the area being remodeled needs to be sealed off so you can avoid constantly cleaning the rest of the house. 

Whatever your choices, once you've made them, stick with them. Changing plans in the middle of a project is a sure way to up your expenses and your stress.

"In every job, there's a point when the work is about 75 percent of the way done, and the countertops are about to be delivered, when the client starts having doubts about everything she has picked," Gilmer says.

"I warn clients: You're going to have this period of total anxiety until everything is in and the picture is complete."
