Tour the DIY Kitchen of HGTV Design Star John Colaneri

The co-host of Kitchen Cousins (with his cousin Anthony Carino) gives Dwell a tour of the kitchen in the brand-new New Jersey home he and his wife custom built from the ground up.

The kitchen anchors one end of the home, which is located on a 2.15-acre site in Ramsey, New Jersey, and was custom built from the ground up. The 4,000-square-foot house includes touches of ipe, corrugated metal, and stone veneer on the outside. “Inside I used a lot of wood salvaged from a 200-year-old barn,” Colaneri says. “It is truly my contemporary barn I always envisioned living in.”

The kitchen wraps around the back wall and is set off by an island workspace. Colaneri used Cree LED lighting throughout the project.
