Dwell contributing editor Kelly Vencill Sanchez has written about architecture and design for Architectural Digest, Coastal Living, New Mexico Magazine, and Luxe. She reported a story about a renovation of a 1960s house in Reno, Nevada, for this issue. “When residents Chip and Susie Hobson told me they waited eight years to redo their kitchen, I knew immediately we were kindred spirits,” she says. “There are boxes of beautiful floor tile in my garage just waiting to be laid that may or may not have been there for several years.” If you could add one thing to your kitchen, what would it be? “It’s more a matter of what I would take away. That’s one of the things I loved about Jack Hawkins’s renovation for the Hobsons—no clutter and a place for everything.” Photo 5 of 5 in Meet the Faces Behind Our Kitchen and Bath Issue by Allie Weiss
