WGC Kitchen Reveal!

Jump to Recipe

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:

  • Backsplash Tile: Fireclay 4×4 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!

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

  1. An amazing renovations. I love everything and great way to use the space. A dream kitchen.

  2. We are starting a kitchen reno (with actually many of the same finishes – great minds think alike!) and I was noticing on the live last night some of the specific interesting drawers/cabinets you have (ie pan and oil pull pita by stove, and you previously showed the Le creased/pot Drawers.). Just wondering if you can share any more specifics on these kind of features. Starting to realize I neglected to thing of some of these design ideas for our reno and would love to see what you did for inspo! It looks beautiful, hoping ours turns out half as awesome!

    1. What a beautiful kitchen! I love all the finishes! We are renovating and would love to see the various drawers/organization items, as well!

  3. Where did you source your floating shelves-the ones over the bar?

    The Kitchen is stunning and I wish you much happiness!!

  4. Holy stunning! Everything is insane! The huge island. All the storage! The bar! The coffee station! ALL OF IT! Can I move in? I can supply the guac and the margaritas 😉

  5. Gaby it’s STUNNING! What’s not to love!? Absolutely gorgeous!

    If at all possible, I do really need to know the source of your giant cutting boards! All of them!

    Thank you so much for all you do.

    1. Those large boards by the window? Same! I’m obsessing over everything in the kitchen but those are at the top of the list 🙂

  6. Are those olive wood bowls on the counter? If so, where did they come from? The kitchen is beautiful!

  7. So beautiful! Can you please tell me what your counter tops are (unless I overlooked it)? We are starting a kitchen reno too!

  8. Your kitchen is fabulous! I am so happy for you. I bet Poppy will love climbing that ladder when she starts walking. Lol! Where did you get the cutting boards & the bowl with the artichokes?
    Thank you for sharing!

  9. Love your Kitchen! Lots of good health and good luck in all that you do there!
    Love your Mom’s work and the plates She made for you. She’s so talented!
    Where can I find prices?
    Best Wishes,
    Fran G.

  10. Love, Love, LOVE your new Kitchen! I also Love your Mom’s dishes. I still have the items I got from her when you lived in Tucson.

  11. SOOOOO beautiful. Love this kitchen and bar area. I really like you have no hanging lights above the island. This is such a clean look! Very much enjoyed the instalive yesterday too.

  12. Gaby,

    The kitchen is gorgeous….just beyond! Could you please tell me where the stools at the island came from?
    Thank you so much!

  13. First, you are beautiful in every way and congrats on your gorgeous baby girl and wonderfully supportive and attentive husband. The ease with which you both transitioned to trading places on instalive last night was stellar. I’m certain it didn’t feel choreographed but the dance was everything. As new parents, your life will be a constant dance and you made it look effortless.

    Ok, back to your kitchen. WOW!! Island-epic!!

    3 questions
    1. Source for stools (stylish & comfy)
    2. Source for twine spool (practical & darling)
    3. Source for huge assortment of cutting board/pizza peels (so versatile)

  14. What a phenomenal space! I hope you make lots of wonderful memories in there with your family, friends, and your brand. ♥️

  15. Hard to pick a favorite part! I really love that rolling ladder and the attention to detail throughout. I hope you take us on a tour behind the cabinets and in the drawers too 😀

  16. It is absolutely gorgeous! Wow! You and your designers had an amazing vision to change that space! Love it!

  17. So incredibly gorgeous and so much storage space! Absolutely stunning. What kind of floors do you have and what kind of finish? Thank you! And beautiful!

  18. OBSESSED! I love that you’ve really made the kitchen as a living space and not just a place to make food LOL. Those shelves are next level amazing!

  19. Can you tell me where you got that little footed round cutting board to the side of the stove with your olive oil on it? Must have!

    1. Yes – wondering about this too! So cute! I basically just want to have everything Gaby has … but not in stalker kind of way, LOL

  20. Really beautiful. I have the wolf range, love it. Curious if you have any tips/experience on how to clean it, esp the black enamel top—one splash of scrambled eggs or over flowing pasta water wreaks havoc, it’s quite challenging. For a year I wouldn’t let anyone clean it but me and then I discover someone (well, I know who but won’t mention here) used a scrub pad on a spot and poof! it’s a goner. Never again like new. I only use microfiber on it now, which works well but the scratches are there. :(. I cook all the time

  21. Gaby!! Your kitchen is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

    How I wish! in another life time for me

  22. SO gorgeous. And so happy for you. It was worth the wait (well, I didn’t have to live out of the guest bedroom for weeks or move into a cat-friendly hotel but I think it was!) The bowls your onions, garlic, artichokes etc. are in are vintage? I’d love to find some like these.

  23. Such a beautiful space to create meals & memories, a living and a life. You have earned it and you deserve it AND thankyou for sharing it!

  24. 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!

  25. Beautiful kitchen!! Wow, you inherited your moms great style and taste…. and off course your own fab WGC creative pizzaz. Well done

  26. 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.

  27. 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!!

  28. 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 🙂 🙂
