Steal This Look: Rustic Swedish Kitchen

Issue 11 · Elegant Tabletops · March 17, 2009

From Janet & Julie:

Spotted (and admired) on Emmas Designblogg, an appealing rustic kitchen by Isabelle Halling, a Swedish interior designer. Halling mixes a lighting fixture fashioned from an industrial whisk with glossy white tiles, sleek black appliances, a kitchen island on wheels, and pale blue cabinets.
