Donatella Arpaia Stewart's Kitchen
When Donatella Arpaia Stewart bought her Connecticut house last year, the first order of business was tearing out the kitchen. "It was all dark brick and brown cabinets with stained-glass doors," says the restaurateur and judge on The Next Iron Chef: Redemption. She and her husband, Allan, who live in New York City during the week, had a single goal: The work had to be done by this Christmas so Donatella could host the holidays here. They got their wish; the kitchen was ripped down to the studs and rebuilt, with time left to spare.
