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.
