HGTV Dream Home 2009
Sonoma, Calif.

We went behind the scenes of past HGTV Dream Home kitchens to learn the secrets from Linda Woodrum, the interior designer, so you can recreate the look in your space.

Design Strategy: Sonoma is about fresh seasonal food and the best wines, so Linda created a chef's kitchen with the busy host in mind.

Design Setup: With two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two wine cabinets, two islands and a 48" range, this kitchen creates the ultimate cooking experience. "It works well for lots of people gathering around to visit and share in the cooking and entertaining experience," Linda said, "especially since the kitchen is located next to the formal dining room."
