Now it can. In Uncommon Kitchens, Sophie Donelson revolutionizes traditional kitchen design with a bevy of inventive ideas for makeovers both large and small. The kitchen is designed unlike any other room in the house, but that doesn’t mean you have to be hemmed in by tradition.

Drawing on advice and up-to-the-minute projects from designers such as Frances Merrill, Katie Rosenfeld, Victoria Sass, and many more, each personality-filled chapter is packed with liberating designs that will change your thinking about the tried-and-true kitchen.

Learn from DIYers, Instagrammers, and design experts including Justina Blakeney, Shavonda Gardener and Katie Rosenfeld. Be inspired by innovators such as fashion designer Poppy Lissiman, and stylist MK Quinlan. Uncommon Kitchens is a collection of imaginative new spaces that will make you a quick convert, packed with indispensable tips to help you revolutionize your kitchen starting today.
