Kitchen: Favorite Rooms
From Julie:
We look back at some of favorite kitchens of the last year.
Below: To be filed under “This would only work in LA.” Somehow the acid green cabinets and pale blue backsplash are not too much in this kitchen from architect Bruce Bolander.

Below: Recycled wood, old apple boxes, and a stainless steel cooker are the elements of this simple French rustic kitchen featured in one of our favorite magazines, Living Etc.

Below: A technique for countering tedium in the kitchen: varied work-surface materials. In Francesca’s Brooklyn Heights kitchen, designed by architect Steven Harris, she used Corian cabinetry, marble countertops, and stainless steel counters on either side of the Viking range.

Below: We love the combination of cool stainless steel and warm wood in this kitchen by New York architects Messana O’Rorke.

Below: A Parisian kitchen on locking wheels, by French architects Karine Chartier and Thomas Corbasson, spotted at Marie Claire Maison. The simple plywood and stainless steel units can be reconfigured as needed; brilliant idea, especially in a loft. Click here to see a video of Karine Chartier demonstrating the versatility of a kitchen on wheels and giving a tour of the entire loft.

Below: A perfect kitchen in Brussels, by Stephanie Laperre and Daphne Daskal Interior Architects.

Below: An elegant remodel in the Berkeley Hills by Buttrick Wong, with interiors by Suzanne Shaker (212-242-0074); the square guest bar stool in American black walnut and dark mulled leather from BDDW.

Below: NY-bred, San Francisco–based architect Cary Bernstein does understatement well; view her work at CB Studio:
