The new kitchen occupies the original footprint but is partially hidden behind the arched opening.

When the owners purchased this condominium in an 1830’s Greek Revival building they immediately embarked on a kitchen remodel.  The single-family home was carved into apartments [...]

Before and after photos show the 7 key areas we changed and the difference each one made.
Last summer we upgraded our small kitchen (14’ x 8’) in a 1924 apartment building.  Nothing had been changed since 1986 when my husband installed new appliances and moved in [below]. The previous tenant combined the kitchen and [...]

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 [...]

Our twelve-week apartment face lift 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]. After twenty three years of Pepto-pink peeling paint, groaning appliances and cracking tiles on the kitchen counters and back splash [...]

Pale gray painted cabinets, white accents and light wood bespeak Scandinavian interiors which have appeared so often in magazines  the visual shorthand is well established. It seems inevitable this palette would find its way into kitchens although gray might never rival the classicism of English white or the currency of mid-century Java as far as [...]

Sending out a Mission vibe is easy when foursquare cabinets are splashed along the soffit area of a galley kitchen and the island is clad in repeated vertical panels. Curved brackets that support the island’s curved serving shelf soften up the lines.  The raised counter on the open side of the island functions as a [...]

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 the adjoining wall. Casement windows and ceiling beams — each painted gray — soften the hard edges to make this feel a little bit like the country, but on fast-forward. [...]

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 [...]

Wow! That’s the apt description for this amazing kitchen based on Shaker hutches and tables. There are four different dresser (hutch) configurations, each in a different color. Dove-gray paint emphasizes the simple lines of the island with its open end and clean, tapered legs. A beautifully proportioned grand hutch not only houses the range and [...]

A copper and reclaimed pine hood (Vent-a-Hood liner) sets the rustic tone for this cooking space, which opens into the family room and two adjacent pantry areas. An antique iron seal from a New York bridge handsomely decorates the tiled range guard (Frosted Soda 4” from Status Tiles), creating a focal point behind the [...]

Is gray a color? Not really but it acts like one here. The richness of the hue, in concert with the stone counter, makes the island stand out. Yet it still coordinates well with the big range and neutral hues of the stone-tile range guard. Turned posts on the end of the island provide a [...]

Modern elements plus an unusual color crank up the impact of a busy kitchen packed with traditional cabinets. On the conservative side are gray-painted beaded doors enhanced with black glaze, crown molding, granite counters, conventional faucets, and glass-panel doors flanking an open shelf. The angled ceiling, sleek pendant lights hanging from an ultra-modern [...]
