Rockridge Community Planning Council Has Kitchen Tour Oct 7th



From the RCPC website at Rockridge.org

The Rockridge Kitchen Tour, a fundraiser for the Rockridge Community Planning Council (RCPC), debuted in 1995 and has continued to be a sterling biennial fall event ever since. This year’s tour is our seventh and it features, as always, nine remodeled or renovated kitchens in the Rockridge neighborhood.

The 2005 tour attracted over 750 guests who were treated to unique kitchens such as the Hudson Street kitchen, personalized for easy accessibility for its wheelchair-bound owner, and the owner-renovated 1914-inspired kitchen on Taft Avenue.

This year, the selection committee considered a record number of exquisite kitchens—twice as many as ever before. The final selections are remarkable not only for their spectacular designs, but for their innovative use of materials and clever tailoring to suit homes small and large, Craftsman and contemporary.

This year’s tour proudly includes a resident artist’s kitchen with its owner’s paintings adding brilliant color to the kitchen’s luminescent glass accoutrements; the owner’s studio will be open to the public. Tour guests will also be treated to a panoramic view of the city and the bay from the breakfast nook of an expansive, bright kitchen in the hills, where a European-style glass floor illuminates the stairwell below.

Join us on Sunday, October 7, to admire some of Rockridge’s finest kitchens. Chat with the home owners and their designers, contractors and architects. Enjoy refreshments in three of the homes, as our volunteer docents, many of whom return year after year, provide details about the kitchens, their history and their interesting remodeling processes. Whatever your budget and style, the 2007 Rockridge Kitchen Tour has something to inspire you!
