Verona Appliances Partners with Good Bones

September 26, 2023 by EuroChef

Verona Appliances has partnered with the star of HGTV’s “Good Bones,” Mina Starsiak Hawk, to renovate at-risk properties within the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Mina, along with her mother, Karen E. Laine, both work at their family company, Two Chicks and a Hammer, where they flip run-down homes and renovate them into contemporary design dwellings.

Mina’s skillful intelligence in real estate and Karen’s knowledge of interior and exterior design forms an unbeatable partnership, coming together to transform dream houses into reality, one house at a time. As Mina was renovating kitchens in these three flipped homes, she realized she wanted to create a modern design with European flair, so she decided to add a Verona range.

Charming Cottage: Where Vintage Vibes Take Center Stage

In the premiere episode of Season 7, titled “Quaint Cottage with Vintage Vibes,” Mina decides to enhance a small cottage home in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis with modern upgrades while preserving its timeless vintage charm. From the very first step on the porch, the house portrays lots of character with its charming siding, inviting windows and curb appeal.

Mina’s design choices come to life within the interior of the home, where you’re struck by the warmth and inviting ambiance. Mina designed this home with natural wood, a palette of soothing colors and a selection of textures, that overall creates a balance of both coziness and style. One of her primary objectives was to redefine the kitchen and dining room as a unified space while keeping the vintage aesthetic. To achieve this, she introduced a modern quartzite countertop with ample open space for functionality and style. For the perfect finishing touch, she added a counter-to-ceiling wall backsplash perfectly paired with a Matte Black Designer Dual Fuel Range from Verona Appliances.

Small Space, Big Luxury

In Season 7, Episode 13, titled, “Little Bit Luxurious,” Mina decided she wanted to transform this house from outdated and dull to elegant and modern. Located in The Valley of Indianapolis, her goal was to merge the living room and kitchen into one cohesive space, perfect for entertaining. To make the kitchen into an ideal dream space, Mina added several key elements. She installed a stunning quartzite countertop island, a stone backsplash and a Verona Designer Gas Range in White. In expressing her passion for designing the kitchen, she states to the homebuyers, “Look at your really fancy stove. That is not a first-time homebuyer’s stove. We’ve got the backsplash going all the way up, and other than it just being pretty, it makes it so easy to clean.”

Dazzling and Divine: Where ‘Wow’ Is the Norm

In Season 8, Episode 1, titled, “Income Property with Big Issues,” Mina converts a two-story house into a dual-income property in the Bates Hendrick neighborhood of Indianapolis. Mina’s first decision on renovating the house was to refresh the home with contemporary upgrades while preserving some of the older elements. A significant aspect of the design was the kitchen, where she provided ample storage space and a pantry area. She also added black marble that extended all the way up to the ceiling, creating beautiful contrast with the Prestige Gas Range in White from Verona. Overall, Mina aimed to achieve the ultimate “wow factor,” leaving the homeowners stunned by the transformation that the house truly turned into the perfect dream home.

Celebrating National Pasta Month

October 27, 2022 by EuroChef

Photo Credit: @wild.thistle.kitchen

With hundreds of varieties, shapes and sizes, pasta has found its way into almost every culture and home around the world. A staple comfort food with endless recipes, this delectable delicacy is versatile and accessible making it a household favorite. In celebration of National Pasta Month, we’ve put together some helpful tips on how to take your pasta-making game to the next level:

Build from Scratch

Making pasta from scratch can seem like an intimidating process, but with a little practice, you may just find the time and effort required to preparing this family favorite is not only fun, but well worth it. Delicious and rich in flavor, fresh pasta only requires a handful of basic ingredients and is fun to make with family and friends in the kitchen—plus, it cooks quicker than store bought, with an average al dente time 6 mins faster!

Add a Pot Filler to Your Kitchen

Tired of carrying heavy pots full of water from the sink to the stove? Consider adding a pot filler above your range to reduce trips back and forth allowing you to get your pasta water boiling even faster, all while keeping your sink and countertop areas open and free for food preparation.

Opt for Induction: Precision Cooking

With their precise temperature control and energy efficiency, induction stoves and cooktops are quickly making their way into more American homes as a reliable and safe form of cooking. Ranges like Verona’s 36” Designer Series Induction offer homeowners versatility and precise temperature control over their cooking with additional power levels like “Gentle Heat”— a lower, three-level heat setting which provides continuous gentle heat, ideal for creating more delicate pasta dishes, such as Carbonara and Bolognese, where sauces are prone to breaking if exposed to too much heat.

Opt for Induction: Rapid Heating

They say “a watched pot never boils,” but we think otherwise. Quickly boil large pots of water with Verona’s 36” Designer Series Induction “PowerBoost” function—a precise heat setting that operates at the maximum power level for up to 10 mins, allowing your pasta water to boil faster than ever. And, for those times when you need to bring sauces up to a boil then reduce to a simmer, the “Fast Heating” function is a quick and efficient setting that allows you to rapidly heat up food or liquid then automatically reduce the temperature to a pre-selected heat setting.

Finish Your pasta in a Saucier

When creating a pasta sauce, a higher-walled saucier allows you room to work with your ingredients, giving you more flexibility than a regular sauce pan. With the wide base and high walls, you can build your sauce and add pasta directly to the saucier yielding a more flavorful pasta as it absorbs some of the sauce while cooking.

A Matte Black Range Sets the Mood for this South Florida Kitchen

July 13, 2022 by EuroChef

Verona Appliances partnered with Haley Jones of Me and Mr. Jones to craft a moody black kitchen for her South Florida home. To her surprise, Haley didn’t realize that so many homes in the Florida area didn’t have gas hookups available, but she found a great alternative with an electric range from Verona.

“I wanted a gas range look and stumbled across the Verona Designer Series Range,” she says. “This was the first appliance we picked out after weeks of searching for a range that would fit the aesthetic of our modern kitchen.”

Continue to read below for more details on Haley’s experience with her Verona range.

Photo Credit: Haley Jones of Me and Mr. Jones

The Brand

Haley and her husband wanted a range in matte black with sleek and modern lines. The model they went with is the 36” Designer Series Electric Range. “The size is great and fits our space perfectly,” she says. “The home originally had a 30” range, but we wanted something a little bit larger to anchor the space and we love how substantial it looks!” Haley also liked how there were several Verona retailers near her, so she felt comfortable choosing the brand in case a repair was needed in the future. 

Note: If you’re interested in a Verona appliance or need repair assistance, you can use our store locator to find a licensed retailer near you.

The Design

According to Haley, the overall design of the range is what drew her and her husband in immediately. “It’s so sleek, simple and modern, which is exactly what we wanted for our kitchen remodel,” she says. “We opted for the single door instead of the double-door because I wanted the option to cook sheet pan meals on a large baking sheet.”

Another design feature she appreciated was the feet. “I know that’s oddly specific, but it’s one design feature that I love,” she says. The range in her previous home in California was lower to the ground, so it was more difficult to get under the appliance to recover lost baby and dog toys. The feet on the Designer Series Electric Range raises the appliance higher, therefore, it’s easier for her to sweep, mop and recover toys from underneath.

The Cleaning

Haley also mentioned how simple her appliance was to maintain. “The cooktop is incredibly easy to keep clean in comparison to other electric ranges that we’ve owned,” says Haley. “In addition, the soft-close oven door actually can come off completely! It’s one of my favorite things about this appliance.”

Note: Instructions for how to remove the door on this model is found on page 22 of the user manual. Cleaning and maintenance instructions start in page 17.

Photo Credit: Haley Jones of Me and Mr. Jones

The Functions

The electric cooktop on the 36” Designer Series range has five burners. “I typically only use two at one time, but I love the larger burner in the center of the stove,” says Haley. “All the burners heat up quickly and cook evenly.”

As for the oven cavity, Haley says she typically cooks with the normal convection function, which cooks evenly as well. A fan and multiple heating elements help cook anything, from a roast chicken to a batch of brownies, with ease since it encourages even heating.

Review Summary

Overall, Haley says she and her husband absolutely love their electric range. “The size, the design, and the functionality of it are all really great. The design alone makes it worth the money in my opinion!” She also appreciates how she can customize her range with different colored knobs. “We have a Matte Black set that I plan on installing, but these knobs are also available in Burgundy.”

Spring Kitchen Décor Ideas

April 22, 2022 by EuroChef

The days are getting longer and the weather is slowly, but surely, getting warmer. The world is coming alive with greenery, bright colors and floral prints in fashion and interior design to signify the arrival of spring. For décor lovers, a new season means it’s time to give your living space a refresh. Not quite sure where to begin? We recommend starting with the heart of the home, your kitchen! Read on as we share our favorite seasonal style tips for decorating your kitchen for spring.

Budding Blooms

Spring is a time of rebirth and a fresh start for flora and fauna. Flowers are starting to pop out of the ground, the grass is becoming greener and trees are beginning to bud. If you love nature and find solace in having the outdoors in your home, mirror what you see outside into your kitchen.

Budding branches can make an excellent addition to your spring kitchen décor. Find a few in your backyard if you’re looking to be cost-savvy, or purchase a few pieces at your local craft store to display year after year. Hemingway Interiors upcycled an old vase with spackle to create a rustic, artisan look with budding greenery on her kitchen island.

Sensational Seasonal Scents

In addition to decorating your kitchen with flora and fauna, you can also use scented candles as a centerpiece on your kitchen island. Keep the scent light and airy with notes of eucalyptus, jasmine, citrus or rose. Make it even more of a centerpiece by placing the candle on a decorative wooden cutting board or in a large shallow bowl, and add accessories like a wick cutter and a snifter.

If you’re more conscious about open flames, a decorative wax warmer will work just as well.

Showstopping Centerpiece

No vase? No problem! Laura Reister got creative with her range décor and used her heart-shaped dutch oven as a pot for fresh tulips. The pink and red hues pop brightly against her white backsplash and countertops. This décor trick will certainly catch guests in your home by surprise – and might inspire them to do the same!

To get this look, we recommend the 36″ Prestige Dual Fuel Double Oven Range.

Floral Fabrics

Hanging a dish towel over your range handle can make clean-up in the kitchen a breeze. It’s also such an easy way to add seasonality to the space! Susan Serra, CKD, matched her matte black range with a bold black and blue floral pattern. At the end of every season, stock up on dish towels in the clearance section to truly maximize your savings so you’re prepared for next year!

A Modern Kitchen for a Photographer’s Brooklyn Studio

March 14, 2022 by EuroChef

Verona Appliances recently partnered with Deborah Main of the Pillow Goddess to create a modern kitchen for Brooklyn-based product photographer and director Cason Latimer. Cason recently expanded his studio with an on-site, modern kitchen to better serve his growing client portfolio. “I recommended the Designer Series ranges and hoods from Verona Appliances because of my personal and professional experience with the luxury brand’s superior quality and diverse options,” said Deborah Main, designer of Cason’s studio kitchen.

Continue to read below for more details on Cason’s kitchen.

Affordable Luxury

A photographer’s studio is fast-paced, with multiple photoshoots happening simultaneously. Cason needed a range and ventilation hood that would be a reliable workhorse for his client’s projects. “[His] need for a professional-grade range without the price tag was essential for his business to attract top-notch clients,” she says.

Create Your Own Custom Verona Range

What’s great about the luxury Verona Designer Series ranges – whether your personal preference is induction, gas, or electric – is that homeowners and kitchen designers can customize their range with the Designer Range Builder.  

Cason chose the Verona Designer Series 36″ Induction Range and 36” Wall-Mounted Range Hood for its professional performance, superior craftsmanship, and affordability. The design of his kitchen, a very modern, clean look, necessitated a range that seamlessly fit in with his new countertop, cabinetry, and classic white backsplash. Plus, the luxury appliances were easy on his wallet.

“With Verona’s many color options, Cason chose a stainless steel finish for his Designer Series Induction 36” range, as it offers that clean, fresh look, which is an excellent choice for any modern kitchen,” says Deborah. “Plus, to be honest, his new range and hood had to look stunning to impress his new clients, and Verona ranges are gorgeous!”

The Details Make All the Difference

The Verona Designer Series 36″ Induction Range and hood make Cason’s studio kitchen a real stand out. “He has many new photography clients in the food industry, and I know he is thrilled to be able to prep and cook on Verona’s magnificent luxury range. Plus, he has the Chefs Pak to make it all a breeze!” says Deborah.

In addition to the range and range hood, Cason also has a variety of accessories from the Chefs Pak, which will significantly help preparation for food and beverage photoshoots. Deborah has a few of the accessories herself and says, “my husband and I recently used the Verona griddle for pancakes and steaks last night, and its performance is excellent!”

Note: Verona recently released a new and improved Chefs Pak, swapping out the stainless steel griddle for a cast iron griddle, which is more lightweight and works well on induction cooktops.

Deborah cannot recommend Verona more highly. “It is of superior quality and will elevate your kitchen to luxury status and professional performance,” she says. “Before you know it, you’ll feel like a professional chef!”

100 Years of Kitchen Design

January 21, 2021 by EuroChef

Kitchen design and function have come a long way since the early 1900s. What was once a hidden space reserved only for cooking, has now become the most important room of the home.

Take a journey with us as we delve into the evolution of kitchen design of the past 100 years and consider where the next 100 will take us.

1910s – 1920s

In the early 1900s kitchens were a secluded space tucked away in the back of the home. Its primary function was solely for preparing and cooking food, dining and entertaining was held in a separate room located off of the kitchen. Refrigerators were known as “iceboxes” and appliances were stripped down with basic functions,  and wood stoves had minimal cooking options with no reliable temperature control features.

1930s – 1940s

During the housing boom that took place post-WWII, there was an increased emphasis on the design of the home and demand for technology in the kitchen. During this era, the kitchen was revolutionized with new refrigeration options that offered increased  storage space and ovens that were integrated with hot plates for stovetop cooking. The idea of the “fitted” kitchen became a popular concept and appliances began to be built-in to the cabinetry for a seamless and organized look.

1950s – 1970s

As innovations in technology and design quickly evolved, the kitchen started to transform into the hub of the home. As new homes were being built, the placement of the kitchen moved from the back of the home to the center and was no longer closed off to dining and living areas. Homeowners were opting for bold design choices, selecting whimsical wallpaper for backsplashes, unique linoleum flooring and the iconic wood-look cabinetry we’ve all come to love. During this time, appliances were also advancing to include added cooking options and features that made meal prep easier.

1980s

“Bigger is better” was a major theme of the 1980s and of course kitchens followed this movement. A trend for larger homes added square footage in the kitchen allowing for more countertop space, larger eating nooks and room for entertaining. With all this extra space, islands and peninsulas quickly became a staple in kitchen design. This provided the opportunity for additional seating and multi-functional use of the kitchen which allowed families to spend more time together in this space.

The addition of multiple cooking appliances was also popular during the late 1980s. Wall ovens paired with cooktops or kitchen ranges provided homeowners the option to cook more than one dish at a time, reducing the time it took to cook a meal.

1990s – 2010s

By the mid-1990s, the kitchen had officially been dubbed the heart of the home. The idea of the gourmet kitchen took off during these years with pro-style appliances like Verona Appliances ranges, cooktops, built-ins and ventilation hoods.

Through the late 90s and into the early aughts, luxury details such as granite countertops, tiled flooring, and dark cabinetry brought a polished and modern feel to the center of the home. Stainless steel was the trending finish for all kitchen appliances and accents thanks to its durability and ease of maintenance.

As the age of the internet defined the late 2000s and 2010s, technology was becoming a more prevalent in the home, smart devices were being introduced in the kitchen and the design of appliances was becoming more streamlined for a sleek and futuristic look.

2020 and Beyond

As the role of the home dramatically shifted in 2020, so did the function of the kitchen. Now a home office, classroom, dining room, utility space and so much more, the kitchen serves a much greater purpose.

The need for customization and personalization in this space has become a top priority in the progression of residential design. Verona Appliance’s innovative Designer Range Builder allows homeowners to customize their range by finish, fuel type for a look that fits their personal space and the brand-new Kitchen Suite combines a collection of pro-style appliances to craft a custom design that always looks pulled together.

If your kitchen looks like it belongs in a past era and an update is seriously needed, Verona Appliance offers an extensive catalog of appliances, accessories and tools to transform your space for the modern age.

All of our ranges and hoods are available in a myriad of sizes, finishes, and cooking options to meet the needs of kitchens of all layouts.

We’re excited to see where the future of kitchen design takes us and what’s to come in the next 100 years!

Verona Appliances Helps Bring the Transitional Style of Cape Cod Homes to the Heart of Indianapolis

March 17, 2020 by EuroChef

Kitchens are one of the most considered rooms of the house when it comes to interior design and thoughtful space planning. They are where most begin and end their day, provide a place for gathering and entertaining and are where families can connect after a long hectic day. When Principal Designer, Abbey Robertson, of aaNovo, and her team were tasked with designing a new custom spec build in Indianapolis, Indiana, the result in the kitchen was breathtaking. With a passion for building, selecting quality products and implementing design methods that will stand the test of time, Robertson turned to Verona Appliances to help make this new house a home for future owners to enjoy for years to come.

With the objective of presenting a timeless and functional kitchen, Robertson based her design inspiration on the transitional style of Cape Cod homes. “Our goal was to nod to traditional details in our design through our choice of the interior architecture while remaining mostly transitional in our design elements,” said Robertson. “We choose the 36” Prestige Series Gas Range for this project because it checked all those boxes. We appreciate the design aesthetic of the range and quality of the product.”

With a home design project, homeowners tend to feel stuck with a specific style or time period. Rather than staying glued to one particular style, the team at aaNovo allows each project and space to define their design. In this kitchen, Robertson opted for contemporary countertops and backsplash as well as a traditional range hood cover to create a unique focal point around the Verona range.

Although the completed design is nothing short of stunning, Robertson faced some difficulties along the way.  “We designed the range hood with corbels to bring in some traditional curves to the space however this inclusion was our biggest challenge during the design process. We had to find materials for the hood that were heat resistant and could be molded or cut to the right shape,” said Robertson. “We solved this challenge by adding the shelf above the range which split the backsplash into two pieces rather than one large piece. This way it didn’t take away from the coffee bar slab and allowed us to utilize all the pieces of the quartz without seams on the countertops.”

In the design world of consistently changing trends, classically designed interiors are a breath of fresh air. As custom spec builders, Abbey Robertson and her team at aaNovo strive to carefully select the design elements in their homes that will strongly represent their quality of design and meet the desires and needs of future homebuyers.  They certainly achieved their goal by bringing the warm and transitional style of Cape Cod into the heart of Indianapolis!

Thank you, Abbey Robertson and aaNovo for choosing Verona Appliances for your kitchen and sharing your project with us! For more design inspiration from aaNovo click here or follow them on Instagram and Facebook.

Verona Appliances Spotlighted in a One of A Kind Denver Kitchen

June 27, 2019 by EuroChef

It’s no secret that the Denver housing marketing has been shining over the last couple of years. Young homebuyers moving to the mile high city are greeted with earth tones and mountain-inspired décor reminiscent of the city’s surroundings. But when it comes to flipping homes in the Denver area, Wendy Crist and the team at The Happening Home divert away from this cookie-cutter style, opting for the Hygge ambiance of cozy comfort that turns ordinary houses into dream homes for those entering the market.

In one of their most recent projects, The Happening Home team took an outdated, non-functional kitchen from one of Denver’s most desirable neighborhoods and transformed it into a modern farmhouse inspired space with the help of Verona Appliances. Although the kitchen had good bones, it was tired looking and lacking much needed storage space.

“We added lots of charm and character to this home,” explains Wendy “Some of our favorite features are the gourmet kitchen, shiplap wall and reclaimed wood accents. We wanted this home to feel current, cozy, comfortable, and interesting all at the same time.”

When it came time to choose appliances, the team selected a 36” Stainless Steel Verona Range. The look of the range was perfectly in-line with the style of the renovated kitchen, and the full width storage compartment is perfect for organizing extra baking sheets.

“The way this wall of the kitchen turned out with the Verona range, custom hood, pot filler and open shelving turned out to be my favorite spot in the whole renovation,” says Wendy.

The end result of the renovation was a modern, updated home that is ready for its new family. Thank you Wendy and The Happening Home for sharing your Verona kitchen with us! For even more projects be sure to follow The Happening Home on Facebook and Instagram.
