To create the uniquely edgy kitchen that
the homeowners desired, Amy Miller
Weinstein, along with DeGiulio Kitchen &
Bath, reconfigured door openings, created
new spaces and utilized every inch of space.
A theme of vertical chocolate browns and
horizontal whites, all crafted of a durable
manmade material, is unified in the Kravet
window-seat fabric (where drawer space
below hides kids' art, homework supplies
and projects). White Calacatta marble from
Ann Sacks, cut in brick tiles and elegantly
veined with grey and gold, create the
backsplash while a leathered brown granite
countertop with a matte finish lines the
perimeter of the kitchen. The stove range,
topped by a stainless hood, is built into the
marble work island.

my Miller Weinstein doesn't
like to waste, whether it's space
or perfectly good furniture —
even if it's not her style. The designer
and owner of Birmingham's AMW
Design Studio will find a way to make it
her style as well as her clients.
Case in point: Attorney Daniel Padilla
and his wife, Patti, moved into their circa-
1940s Birmingham bungalow before their
children came along. Having worked with
Weinstein on smaller-scale projects here
and there, the family, now with three
young sons, needed more space, needed it
to be functional, liveable and durable, and
wanted to use as much of the furniture
they already had.
But they also wanted good design, a
home they were proud of when entertain-
ing or just walking through the door at
the end of a busy day. With Weinstein's
expertise, along with that of contractor
Todd Emerson of Sterling Development
and DeGiulio Kitchen & Bath, both of
Birmingham — mission accomplished. ❑
