A home flood ended up being a blessing in disguise for actress Christina Applegate. 

The Anchorman star loved almost everything about her abode—except the kitchen, which hadn’t been redone since the house was built in 1985. Applegate went so far as to deem it “the ugliest kitchen.” Despite the harsh description, an update seemed too huge of undertaking. And then Applegate’s floors were ruined after a flood, forcing her to rip up the flooring and finally confront that "god awful" kitchen.

"It’s so much nicer, so much more comfortable," says Applegate. "We have this nice tufted banquette...it feels like it’s a place now where we can celebrate as opposed to a place that we want to get out of as fast as possible."

“I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted the kitchen to feel like and look like, [but] executing that is obviously not my forte," says Applegate. "So it was nice to have someone to do the work for me...it ended up being really easy and the communication between everyone was great."

"Before, you’d come into the foyer, and it was just shoes everywhere and it was awful," says Applegate. "So now people can go into the mudroom and sit on a beautiful bench...I’m so happy about that, it’s just clean."
