Nalini is a hip young urbanite who just bought her first home — a century-old, converted loft in the heart of the city. It’s a super-funky space, and Nalini just loves it, but the cramped kitchen just didn’t fit in with the condo’s high ceilings, wooden beams and exposed ductwork. The layout was awkward, there was little storage space and there were the awful pink walls! The kitchen was dreary, uninspiring and just not conducive to cooking and entertaining — two must-haves for Nalini.
