Steal This Look: Food 52 Office Kitchen - Remodelista
When Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, the founders of cooking site Food52, moved into a new midtown Manhattan office space, they built a test kitchen that’s both photogenic and functional (not to mention economical). It’s not the only thing the duo has up their sleeves: they’ve also spent the last 18 months testing and planning for Provisions... ...which they describe as “the first kitchen-and-home shop to offer the very best rolling pin along with a great peach pie recipe, or a handsome butter dish with a how-to on making your own butter. It’s the shop of our dreams.” N.B. Photographs by Nicole Franzen for Remodelista. The marble counter is Calacatta Gold and the matte white subway tiles are from Daltile (Arctic White 0790 Matte). Undercounter storage is provided via Shaker-style Benson Cabinets by Diamond Cabinetry; “we chose them because they are clean and simple,” Sherman says. Similar vintage Blue Ball jars will be available on Provisions in limited quantities. Amanda and Merrill sourced Le Creuset cookware in a cream-colored shade called Dune. “For the shelving, I used reclaimed wood milled from a 100-year-old beam salvaged from a barn in Kentucky,” Sherman says. The stackable enamel canisters with airtight beech lids designed for Riess of Austria by the Vienna design group Dottings are from Ancient Industries and will be available on Provisions. The wall-mount Faucet with Curved Spout by Strom Plumbing is $378.99 from Vintage Tub & Bath. Knife storage slots are built into the John Boos oiled walnut kitchen island countertop.
