Christina Haack creates coastal-inspired homes that make us wish we lived by the beach. If you've seen her show, Christina on the Coast, you understand. Today we're here to hone in on perhaps the most functional space in a home — Christina's head-turning, jaw-dropping kitchen and bath designs. Summed up in a phrase: They're enviable. And, who knows, they may just inspire your next home project.

Function and aesthetic come together in this streamlined kitchen. With a microwave, a wine cooler and tons of cabinetry built into the custom kitchen island, Christina demonstrates how sleek a well-designed kitchen can be.

The other side of the island boasts even more storage behind the industrial bar stools (which are great for casual breakfasts). Christina stuck to her love of white in this bright kitchen, but added earthy elements: brass fixtures, wood paneling and a stone-look tile backsplash.

Speaking of brass fixtures, here's another look at just how elevating gold-tinted accents can look when paired with white paint and touches of wood.
