Most people want kitchens that are warm, homey, comforting....but the kitchen in Dan Nadeau's Los Angeles home, above, exudes a vaguely clinical vibe: The open kitchen resembles a laboratory equipped with glass beakers.

And that's just the way Nadeau likes it. This home used to be a former doctor's office. Take a look at the story in Saturday's Home section about how he ordered up a face-lift and don't miss the photo gallery.
