The striking six-element gas cooktop and matching hood are surrounded by wall-to-wall cabinetry and a silvery tumbled-limestone backsplash. Open shelving displays treasured items, like a dark wooden vase from L.A., a gift from Aubrey’s godmother.
The fingerprints
“I have friends who refuse to get stainless-steel appliances, but I’ve never had a problem,” Gillian says. “Use a good stainless-steel cleaner and, boom, the prints are gone.”
The golden rule
Select finishes that make you feel comfortable. “I love both silver and gold, but from a design perspective I find silver unbiased – it’s a black- and white-based metal that goes with everything,” says Gillian of her stainless-steel appliances and brushed-nickel hardware.
The last word
“There are so many great trends you can pick up on,” says Gillian, “but you really have to be careful and ask yourself, Am I going to love this in 10 years?”
