Omg it's been months in the making and here it is! The new What's Gaby Cooking Kitchen and OMG I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE IN LOVE!! Take a tour below. I'll be linking sources to everything we used as well! If I missed anything that you're curious about, just leave and comment and I'll update!
Here she is in all her glory!! The new HQ for What's Gaby Cooking! Home of all the recipe development that's coming to the blog, a place to shoot our next book, a place for IG Lives, the place where we'll teach Poppy all about food, and hopefully a place to entertain again someday.... I AM OBSESSED!!
Before we get into the after pics... take a look at what it was like when we bought the house last year!!
And now... the after!
All large appliances are Sub Zero, Wolf and Cove! I've been cooking with these appliances since my old private chef life and I have always been obsessed. It's a dream come true to have them in my own kitchen now! Nitty gritty of the appliances are here:
- 48" Dual Fuel Range - 6 Burners and Infrared Griddle
- 24" Cove Dishwashers
- 42" Classic French Door Fridge Freezer // Panel Ready
- 24" Microwave
- 46" Pro Hood Liner (22-inches deep)
- Backsplash Tile: Fireclay 4x4 in Limestone
- White Paint: Benjamin Moore custom flat white, if you give them these numbers, they'll match it for you Y3-0.1875, S1-0.0625, W1-8
- Cabinet Color: we matched to Portola Home Again
Can we talk about these fixtures!! Everything is from Rejuvenation and let me tell you, when we went to go pick everything out, I was in heaven! We ended up going with the Sutton collection for the kitchen!! Just wait until the bathroom is done and you see what we did in there!
- Widespread Kitchen Faucet with Sprayer
- Single Hole Kitchen Faucet with Sprayer (for the prep sink)
- Wall Mount Pot Filler
Okay lets talk about this bar!! It's a custom design from our designers Thea Home and it's made by this incredible wood worker Eric, here in LA! it's basically a wooden bar WRAPPED IN LEATHER!! We built it around all of our other Sub Zero appliances and it's truly a work of art! He somehow managed to take the panel ready Sub Zero appliances and wrap them in leather. Truly a magician!
And what's a new kitchen without new plates!! My mom custom made me these insanely beautiful bubble plates and I am obsessed!! She does custom orders if you want to DM her on instagram!
More details:
- Contractors: Lyons Development - never have I EVER heard of anyone finishing on time and within budget and OMG WE DID!! I cried happy tears!!
- Designers: Thea Home - easily the most dynamic mother daughter duo!! And the fact that Dorianne (the daughter) went to culinary school makes their kitchen NEXT LEVEL AMAZING
- Cabinet Maker: Don's Cabinets - he's a magician!!
- This is who did our marble counter treatment so we can spill lemon juice and other acidic things on our marble without destroying it! Shoot them an email, ask for Ted. He'll help you find someone in your area!
- Painters: TPG Group - truly truly an incredible group for painting anything you need in your home!! And wait until you see the Roman Clay and Lime Wash we did in the other parts of the house! They are so talented!
- Windows: Pella // Reserve Contemporary Collection
- Appliance pulls are from a company called Sun Valley Bronze
- In-Ceiling Speakers // Sonos (Thomas will share all those details soon)
- Marble Counters: Carrara Marble
- Stools // Restoration Hardware
- Reclaim Wood Cutting Boards + Wooden Bowls
- Kitchen Runner
- Wooden Floor - its a 10 inch European White Oak from Riva Floors

The kitchen is gorgeous and so functional! In your IG live yesterday I noticed the under shelf lighting on the pretty display/bookshelves. Can you talk about them? What they are, brand etc?
Wow this is beautiful! Would love a video or post showcasing all the clever/functional design features. I saw on the live last night that you have that awesome paper towel holder drawer which blew my mind. Would love to see what other cool features you went with!
Gorgeous!!!!! (We’re going to need to see ice photos at some point. What kind of cubes are you working with in that maker??!)
amazing - love the mix of painted cabinets, marble and wood (and let's not forget leather)!!!
Obsessed. Like stalker obsessed. If you see someone peeking in the kitchen window, don't worry, I'm only looking at the island.
Gaby! Loooove this remodel - you guys did such a great job. Could you fill us in on what the wood drawers on the side of the island are used for?
Your before kitchen was really nice but the after is spectacular. Absolutely stunning. You will have so much fun cooking in your new kitchen. Well done. Enjoy and bon appetite.
It's beautiful Gaby!
Love, love, love your Carrara marble!! Can you please share the sealer you used to help prevent etching?
Thanks!
Hi! I’m in love with your new kitchen!! We are doing a new build, and I’m trying to decide if a speed oven or steam oven are worth investing in. I don’t see them in your kitchen—did you consider them? And if so, what factored into your decision not to put them into your new kitchen? Thanks for your insights and thanks for sharing your home and your talents!
didn't get either of them - gimme the regular oven all day!
Hi Hillary! I also loved this post as I'm doing a new kitchen too but I saw you were asking about speed overs and I thought I'd comment! I went with a gas range/oven AND a speed oven. Went with the 30" JennAir built in after comparing it to several others. I love it as a second oven since it has so many cooking modes/features aside from just being a microwave (which I don't use almost at all anyway!). I hope that helps!
I love how every detail is so wonderfully thought out and customized to your personal requirements. It all fits and looks gorgeous. What are those things on the top shelf above the coffee station? Just curious. I bet your crew LOVED working with you and getting a few "delicious tastes" along the way 🙂 🙂
Beautiful kitchen, Gaby! I can't wait to watch Poppy cooking with you one day! My mom always said the kitchen is the heart of the home and it's so true! Just got ECF cookbook to add to EWYW and my lemon watercolor from your mom will be here before long for the shelf in my kitchen. We built our home three years ago and are still adding the finishing touches! LOL!! It's all in the details and you did a great job with yours!!
Extraordinary! Oh the joy of openness and working space in a kitchen and then there's the storage!!
Congratulations and enjoy the fabulous new creations that will be inspired in your wonderful bright and beautiful kitchen.

Beautiful kitchen!! Wow, you inherited your moms great style and taste.... and off course your own fab WGC creative pizzaz. Well done
Gorgeous! I LOVE it!!! Nice job, I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort to figure out all the details but it was worth it! I hope that you enjoy it with your family for many years to come. Super jealous!
