“Everything happens in the kitchen. Life happens in the kitchen.”
– Andrew Zimmern, American chef and restaurateur
As the holidays approach, gatherings are the spice of life. Not surprisingly, kitchens are often where people gravitate towards – for food, connections, and memories. At Schulte Design Build, we specialize in creating kitchens that aren’t just functional, but truly inviting spaces where loved ones naturally come together.
Here are some of our favorite kitchens where people gather harmoniously:

– Laura Esquivel, Mexican Novelist and Screenwriter

– Ted Allen, American Author
