Looking for kitchen remodeling ideas, or just want to ogle? A drive to Oakland on Sept. 20th will give you a feast of choices. The Rockridge Kitchen Tour will be showcasing nine — count ‘em nine — kitchens on a walking tour through the charming Rockridge neighborhood.

The kitchens range in style from Craftsman to modern, with the latest in storage solutions, trendy tile and innovative materials and lighting.

As a special bonus, the entire “Margarido house” will be on tour, a newly-constructed, LEED certified house that is eco-friendly in just about every way. Check out the recycled building materials and the rooftop garden.

Tickets for the tour that starts at 12:30 p.m. can be purchased in advance for $30. AFter Sept. 18, the price goes up to $40. For more information, click here.

The tour is a fundraiser for the Rockridge Community Planning Council that supports local parks and libraries and public art projects.
