Kitchen Cabinet Inspiration
This lovely kitchen from Domino by photographer Melanie Acevedo reminds me that kitchen cabinets don’t have to be white.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Slate
I’m not a practical gal and, according to conventional wisdom, neither are my slate counters. Â Scott and I chose cleft slate counters simply because we love them. Â We hope to never move again, so resale value wasn’t a consideration. Â But, maybe it is for you and so slate might not be a great choice. [...]
Your Kitchen Questions Answered
Some of you may remember that Scott and I recently completed our galley kitchen renovation, replete with hand-finished floors (which I goofed and still have to repair) and a DIY pot rack.  It was featured on Apartment Therapy and  in a guest post on BrooklynLimestone, but if you missed that, you can catch all of [...]

Less is more in our compact kitchen
I’m not a kitchen designer, but I play one on my blog diywithadd. I’m excited to guest post on brooklynlimestone because Stefanie’s blog was an inspiration to me when I was planning my own renovation, especially the photos of her gorgeous kitchen.  Like many a would-be Renovationista, my kitchen dreams were constrained by some serious space [...]

Project: DIY pot rack
Scott added this stainless steel rod last weekend to our custom kitchen shelving. Â The open shelving with a long pot rack was one of the cornerstones of our kitchen design. Â It’s definitely convenient to have pots and pans within easy reach of the stove and not taking up precious cabinet space. Â The rod was thirty [...]

Move in Day!!!!
Scott and I have packed up the art studio where we’ve been living for the past three and a half months and we are moving back to the brownstone tomorrow morning!!!
While the project was fast by renovation standards, it felt like a long time for us to be out of our home. We are thrilled [...]

Kitchen Renovation Update
This is just a quick update on the kitchen. Â The open shelves that I designed and Marcello built are now hung above the shallow cabinets in our galley kitchen. Â We opted for shelves instead of cabinets on this wall to keep the space as open as possible. Â Â We are on the hunt for the right [...]

Project: custom drawer dividers
Scott is busy in his art studio today building custom dividers for our new kitchen drawers. Â He’s using three inch poplar pieces, wire brads (tiny nails) and a dab of wood glue. Â This is definitely a “measure twice, cut once” kind of project.
It remains to be seen whether we will paint the dividers. Â Â Right [...]
