9. Modern Spanish Makeover
For this Scottsdale, Arizona, kitchen, Cdot Design Studio transformed a traditional Spanish-style space into a stripped-down, modern version that retains its original character. Existing terra-cotta floor tile, an arched range hood with a hand-painted terra-cotta tile backsplash and a custom island with an end-grain walnut butcher block counter and spindle leg detail merge Old World style with a contemporary twist.

7. Dramatic Effect
After removing a secondary set of stairs, designer Candice Morgan of Premium Cabinets Saint Louis nearly doubled the size of this St. Louis, Missouri, kitchen. That decision created room for a new 10½-by-4½-foot island with a dark-stained base and marble-look countertop that accommodates seven cane counter stools. The bold forest green perimeter cabinets with brass hardware add their own drama to the scene.

Sleek, contemporary style defines this San Jose, California, kitchen by Mr. & Mrs. Construction & Remodeling.
