From Julie:
To some, this kitchen from the Fritz Hansen catalog might seem a bit Arctic; but we think the bleached wood and the taupe counters soften the effect.

From Julie:
DAP Architects in Stockholm used a red Vola KV1 deck-mounted mixer in this striking kitchen remodel. The 1961 Arne Jacobsen icon comes in 18 colors, as well as the usual stainless and chrome finishes, something that few people know; go to vola.com and hastingstileandbath.com. The wallpaper is Woods from Cole & Son; go to cole-and-son.com.
