Her three pit bulls have pride of place in Kris Crawford's heart, so it made sense to give them pride of place in her kitchen as well. Designer Ann Porter incorporated a tiled drinking fountain for the dogs into the kitchen island, while the appliance wall includes not just two ovens and a built-in microwave, but also a closed-circuit television so Kris could watch her "girls" in the yard. The cabinets to the right of the appliance wall feature pull-out bins for dog food and recycling, plus dishwasher drawers and a prep sink for dog bowls and toys. Find out more about some of the products chosen for Kris's kitchen below.
