Two Simplicity Kitchen Designs

She chose to lose a counter and L-shaped cabinets, remove the wife’s kitchen office, and accentuate the galley shape by adding two rail-straight runs of cabinets, shown above from the opposite angle.

“I really wanted the cooktop off the island,” says the homeowner. Because of the home’s open layout, it was the first thing visitors saw when entering the foyer. Architect Mark Maresca flip-flopped stove for sink, replacing a large Palladian window with cabinets and a hood and adding two smaller windows on each side. (Photo: Erik Kvalsvik )
[3 Jul 2009 | One Comment | ]Traditional Black kitchen cabinets
The extremely lovely and unique kitchens by Brummel Cucine are custom and handmade in highest quality in Bassano Del Grappa, Italy. From the same charming city that has historically inspired painters, sculptors and poets! Isn’t it completely understandable that the kitchens born from Brummel are unlike any others? The Grand Gourmet R series is divinely black (Laccata 2 Colori). Subtle details like the beading on the island and crown moulding and the rubbed white edges on the raised panels make this kitchen a dramatic stunner! *If you …[14 May 2009 | No Comment | ]It is Jesse’s small kitchen in a Duplex apartment, black and white design, very lovely.

You have some excellent ideas for kitchens. That has been one of the recurring themes in my own life–looking for a way to make our bathrooms and our kitchen look really glorious, even though those rooms are much too small. One of the glories of the Internet, though, is that there is absolutely no dearth of ideas.
