Minimalist Big-Island Kitchen

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

I don’t have a minimalist kitchen but I would love this one. Would you?
Perhaps it’s my architect’s gene that draws me to the cool aesthetic of this timeless Bulthaup b3, 400-square footer with its 20-foot long island. No transferware plate collections here – just a bold, yellow painting titled “The Pale Cook,” by German artist [...]

My Old New Kitchen

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Our twelve-week apartment facelift is finished. The contractors have left and 110 packing boxes plus assorted furniture came back to freshly plastered and painted walls, well-lit rooms, and a budget-remodel of our kitchen [above].

Modern metal cabinets have clean lines and swank details in additional to an unusual retro color scheme of stone gray and maroon played out on adjoining walls in this galley kitchen. Casement windows and ceiling beams — each painted gray — soften the hard edges to make this feel a little bit like the country, [...]

Pearl Gray Kitchen

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Bead board has been a favorite cabinet material for for more than a century and suits this cottage-style, pearl gray-walled kitchen by Scandinavian designer Lene Bjerre. We especially love one feature: the open plate rack that allows wet dishes to drip right into the farm sink. Additional moments of charm are found in brackets holding [...]
