Steal This Look: A Small and Neat Kitchen in Melbourne

November 1, 2016

Architect Sarah Trotter of Hearth Studio set out to redesign a 1970s kitchen on the garden level of a house in Melbourne, Australia. The compact kitchen is kitted with stealth storage—by way of custom cabinets—and plenty of genius ideas to steal. Get the look with our sources below, and for more, see our post Kitchen of the Week: A Seventies Overhaul by Hearth Studio.
