Steal This Look: Levenson McDavid Architect Kitchen
From Julie
From Julie & Janet:
When this Brooklyn kitchen appeared in the November 2008 issue Domino, we were instantly drawn to the mix of new of old, dark and light. Architect Ken Levenson of Levenson McDavid Architects deconstructs the components. Photos courtesy of Levenson McDavid.

I love everything about this kitchen, especially the colors. I've been gravitating towards the combination of dark paint, white everything else and lots of wood for a while now.
If you like those concrete counter tops but don't necessarily have $80 dollars per square foot to shell out, check out CHENG concrete at www.concreteexchange.com. They have made gorgeous concrete counter tops accessible to the DIYer (like myself). They have classes, products, and books which make any of your concrete counter top wishes possible.
thanks for the post. could you provide info on the shelves?
love the kitchens fixtures, colors and everything but as far as functionality, well there is none! where are you supposed to put the dishes you wash in the sink? it also doesn't make sense to have the sink of the end of the island because anyone at the sink would be in the way of anyone potentially walking by.
