From Julie & Janet:
One of our favorite countertop surfaces is CaesarStone, comprised of 93 percent quartz and possessing superior stain, scratch, and heat resistant properties. We especially like Blizzard White with a honed surface (rather than polished), which requires a bit more upkeep but offers a more natural sheen. Available in a range of colors, in two finishes (honed or polished), and a choice of edge configurations; go to CaesarStone for dealer information.

When you think of LA, you don’t immediately think of loft living. Aside from the streaming sunlight, this Melrose Place space has a New Yorkish vibe. We like the metal cabinetry, the pot rack (see Kitchen: Open Rail Storage Systems), the galvanized metal pitchers, and the vintage industrial lights.

Dutch designer Tord Boontje’s Witches’ Kitchen line for Artenica is inspired by the witches and wizards of Western lore. Handcrafted by artisan groups from three different South American countries, the collection features black ceramic cookware from Colombian artisans, wooden kitchen utensils handcarved by Guatemalan craftsmen, and kitchen couture hand-sewn by Brazil’s Coopa-Roca women’s cooperative. Generate offers the collection shown below—set of six utensils, casserole, saucepan, and witch’s and wizard’s oven mitts—for $239.

Why are European designers and architects so good at creating dark, moody spaces? Justin at Materialicious is a master at sourcing projects from European architects—both established and emerging. Here’s a roundup of kitchens we’ve collected from his site (and other sources).
