Renovated Clark County spaces highlight WASSO Kitchens Tour
It’s the season to share recipes for standout local kitchens with the return of the Women’s Association of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra’s 17th annual Kitchens Tour.
The event will take guests to six homes from 1-5 p.m. Sunday at places throughout the Springfield area. Presale tickets are available for the fundraiser to benefit the Springfield Symphony Orchestra.
Guests will find five of the six featured kitchens to have been completely remodeled, some as recently as this past winter.
“They’re all unique and pretty, and visitors will find something different with each,” said Theresa Hartley of WASSO.
The stops will include:
515 Tuttle Road
Highlights include a U-shape design with granite countertops, kitchen island, brass accents in the lighting and antique style throughout this newer home.
2127 N. Fountain Blvd.
Removal of a fireplace opened the kitchen up to allow new modern cabinetry, a large island, dry bar and new lighting in the kitchen and dining room.
1839 N. Fountain Blvd.
A recent renovation included a total rehab for greater functionality, including doubling the storage capacity and the addition of hickory hardwood flooring.
2084 Northridge Drive
The owners built and installed new kitchen cabinets, countertops, lighting and flooring, more than doubling the space during a renovation.
4819 Springfieldxenia Road
This kitchen was redone to become simpler and more functional to the rest of the home, including adding a large island and opening the space to the main living area, dining room and back porch.
429 W. Possum Road
The goal of this renovation was to create an open floor plan with soft-close cabinets, flooring and appliances, with the gas stove as the focal point.
While the kitchens are the main focus, visitors can also get a sense of how they fit into the families’ plans for their overall home schemes.
Tour tickets cost $15 each in advance and are available from the symphony office, Schneider’s Florist, The Giving Tree Salon and Spa and Firefly Boutique. Tickets will also be available at each stop the day of the tour for $20 each.
While enjoying a Sunday afternoon out, visitors will be supporting various Springfield Symphony functions.
“This is a very good fundraiser for our programs,” Hartley said.
This is one of three seasonal fundraiser events WASSO sponsors, including a garden tour in the summer and a holiday home tour in December.
