Steal This Look: A Makeshift Victorian Kitchen in London

December 12, 2017

Recently we featured the kitchen in a North London Victorian redesigned by Mark Lewis who swapped tired Ikea counters with drawers, open shelving, and antique furniture. Here we dissect the key elements—such as the cast bronze hardware that Lewis designs and sells—to re-create the winning look.
