This self-guided tour will be held on Saturday, May 16th from 10am to 3pm and will feature six special Lafayette homes with beautifully designed classic, traditional, contemporary, transitional, and modern cottage kitchens, and a mid-century modern kitchen recently featured in Houzz “Kitchen of the Week.” Attendees will receive a Kitchen Tour program detailing all the special design elements of the kitchens as well as information on the architects, designers and contractors who created these spaces.
Proceeds from this year’s event benefit the work of five local non-profit organizations: Ruby’s Place, Boys & Girls Club of Diablo Valley, Las Trampas, Trinity Center Walnut Creek, and VESTIA. These organizations were selected by the Lafayette Juniors for the support they provide to children, families and seniors in need in Contra Costa and neighboring East Bay counties.
“In preparation for our 16th annual Kitchen Tour, I am reminded of what’s possible when we come together to raise funds for charity,” said Laura Lashinsky, President of the Lafayette Juniors. “We would like to thank everyone who is helping to make this year’s Kitchen Tour possible, from our sponsors and donors, to our generous homeowners who are opening their homes to us all. We are lucky to have a home on this year’s Tour that was featured in Houzz ‘Kitchen of the Week.’” To see a sneak peak of this kitchen, visit http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28547920/list/kitchen-of-the-week-modern-update-for-a-midcentury-gem

Last June we learned of a new condominium complex coming to Lafayette called Woodbury and construction is well under way with an expected completion date of late spring.
From their website:
Woodbury, the new residential enclave in the heart of Lafayette, was conceived to encourage elevated and convenient living. It is centrally located just a short five minute walk from downtown Lafayette. A community of 36 new luxury Garden Flats and 20 Terrace Condominiums, many with views of Mount Diablo, Woodbury represents a rare and special opportunity to own new construction in Lafayette.
