About this ebook
Create a kitchen that works beautifully today—and evolves gracefully for years to come—with this inspiring and practical book on kitchen design from Sarah Robertson, founder of Studio Dearborn.
“A well-designed kitchen should feel effortless … at once elegant, hardworking, and organized … and flow seamlessly into the rest of the home.”—from the introduction
The best kitchens aren't built around trends—they're built around the people who use them. For Sarah Robertson, beautiful kitchens begin with thoughtful questions: How do you cook? How do you gather? What do you reach for every day? Whether you're an avid cook, an enthusiastic host, or simply hoping mornings run a little more smoothly, the best design decisions grow out of real life—not someone else's inspiration board.
The book invites readers inside the thoughtful design process behind every Studio Dearborn kitchen. From planning the layout and organizing storage to selecting cabinetry, appliances, lighting, millwork, hardware, paint, and finishes, Sarah explains how each decision builds on the next to create a kitchen that feels intuitive, personal, and designed to age gracefully.
Featuring more than 150 photographs of Studio Dearborn kitchens, original illustrations, floor plans, and practical guidance, A Kitchen for Life combines the inspiration of a beautiful design book with the clarity of a professional design workshop. Sarah also opens the doors to her own home, sharing how her award-winning kitchen evolved over a decade and why the best kitchens continue to grow along with the families who live in them.
Whether you're planning a full renovation, refreshing an existing space, or simply dreaming about what's possible, A Kitchen for Life will help you create a kitchen that reflects who you are, supports everyday life, and welcomes the people you love for years to come.
