With a color-coordinated, Roy G. Biv-ishly arranged dish display like this one, we're not even sure we needed to say her name. This kitchen belongs to the magazine's design director, and the rest of the space is just as immaculate and charming.
This was featured in a 2008 issue of Martha Stewart Living, but we'd never seen it until we found it on the website. It's a modest Manhattan kitchen that was gutted and outfitted to corral everything from dishware to a large collection of magazines (surprise).
In fact, the magazine storage might be our favorite thing about the space. It's so simple, but so clean and organized. And almost everything is hidden behind uniform cabinetry—even the refrigerator and dishwasher—so there's no clutter.

We're also loving that laser cut rug. It looks so stylish and durable at the same time.

so gorgeous!
Wow. Thems a lotta bowls. Love it.

Nice! I love the orange shade. And that is a helluva lotta bowls indeed.
What a stunning collection of bowls!
Haha but where oh where do they ever keep their dishes?
Very handsome and well designed. But I don't understand the need to "hide" essential kitchen appliances. Why not hide the range too, or the kitchen sink?
Oh goodness I am in love with this! I want an OCD kitchen too!
why on earth would anyone need that many bowls?
looks cool, but....
Do they run a soup kitchen there too? How sweet of them.
I can't think of any other reason to have so many bowls.
Nope. I hate it. It's too organised. Too uncluttered. And it looks like it has no soul. I much prefer kitchens with big butcher blocks with knife marks, and toast crumbs on the counter, and shoes at the door, and a book open on the table.
those pull out shelves for the cupboards are SO SMART!
why do I never think of things like that?
*his name. The owner of the kitchen is a man, not a woman.
Wow - people sure love to criticize. The article said that the couple collects bowls. Why does anyone collect anything? At least this collection is beautiful & useful. Would people be so quick to judge if they had a bunch of plates hanging on the wall?
I have to remember those pullout cupboards for when I redo my kitchen. But I have to get a house first.
Does anyone know where to get those awesome white porcelain tumblers? I think Williams Sonoma used to but no longer carries them. I am striking out on the internet.
OMG , coming over to steal those bowls!!!
I really like the white gloss cupboard fronts. Ikea does a high gloss white and I just love how clean and bright it looks.
@spaghettihead - get in line! I'm going to beat you there :)
Why, hello, gorgeous bowl collection! I thought I collected cafe au lait bowls, but I only have < 20. That bowl closet has me swooning.
