Hands-On Kitchen Design with Aletha VanderMaas
Apr 30, 2026 Season 24 Episode 2
Della Hansmann | Mid-Century Design Expert and owner of Mid Mod Midwest

Kitchen design is a hands-on endeavor. 

That's why my friend mid-century Kitchen Designer Aletha VanderMaas takes every one of her clients on a field trip as part of her design process. And while my virtual process doesn't allow for IRL shopping trips, I encourage every client to collect physical samples and "meet" their finishes before choosing them. 

In Today's Episode You'll Hear:

  • Why you need to experience your finishes as part of the design process. 
  • Which elements will ensure your kitchen feels “mid-century”.
  • When, according to Aletha, bigger might be better in a kitchen.
