This is my petite kitchen. After stepping into one dream kitchen after another in my work for this site, coming home to my tiny space can induce long sighs. What I've learned over time though is no matter how glam or un-glam your kitchen is, it's the magic and creativity that goes on inside the kitchen that counts. And one day, I will thank my lucky stars for not having to use my floor as a work surface due to lack of counter space. Until then, join me for a tour!

Tom loves to cook. In fact Tom uses a variety of different types of salts, depending on where he is standing in his kitchen and what is being prepared. And his kitchen is not that big!

Tanja and Mark live in a 1000-square foot condo in Los Angeles, and they've wholeheartedly turned this space into a personal, comfortable home. They haven't been afraid to tackle some pretty major projects, too; their latest is the kitchen, which they just finished renovating on a budget, with environmentally-friendly choices. (Cork floor! Original cabinets, fixed up!) They managed to do it all for under $7000, which is a good deal anywhere, let alone pricey LA. Come see how they did it, and how the kitchen looked before. More

This kitchen, set atop a hill in a lovely Santa Barbara, California home, is chock-full of treasure. Heirloom pieces made by Penelope's mother and grandmother, a puppeteer and ceramics artist, intertwine history and a handmade touch into this beautiful, contemporary space.

Sara and Tom bought their Bed Stuy home a couple of years ago. Since then, they've put a super-human level of blood, sweat and tears into it, inch by carefully calcuated and curated inch. But the priority was a new kitchen.

Germaine lives with her family in an 1800s-era home in Sydney, Australia. A few years ago she and her husband decided to renovate their plain, awkwardly-shaped kitchen and dining area, and open it up into a light-filled multi-purpose room for cooking, dining, relaxing, and play. We absolutely love the result! It's white, bright, and so inviting. Read on for more from Germaine on the process of renovation, and to see more photos of the kitchen as it is now. More

Ever walk into a kitchen where eighteen different people cook, friends pool money to save up for major appliances, chore fines are dealt out if you forget to wash dishes and when all the pot-holders are in the laundry, a 20 year old dude just takes off his shirt to lift the piping hot kettle?

Today we tour the Biko House cooperative's kitchen in Isla Vista, California with Katy McCarthy. Join us as we explore this unique kitchen space.

Pistachio & Pickle, (aka Matt & Steve, events organizer and architect) joined London's supper club scene in October '10, and in the months since have taken risks with all-out themed dinners for real foodies. From the classic and savory (lamb cutlets, ragu and polenta topped the list during a festive Italian feast) to the creatively sublime (for St. Pat's Day, diners enjoyed an amuse bouche that looked like a mini Guinness, but tasted like potato and leek soup with a bacon foam), the duo keeps their followers and newcomers hungry for more. On a recent visit, I attended their first traditional Sunday roast, when tradition very expectedly took some twists...

Our interview began by Caroline letting me know that when she cooks, she prefers to have "nothing on but the radio." For our kitchen tour, however, she donned a festive apron, with the caveat that "an apron is best without anything else on."

When I saw Daria and Ben's minimal, elegant white kitchen splashed across the pages of a design magazine, I was envious. After tracking them down (and realizing they lived only blocks away from me!) and actually spending time with Daria in said kitchen, I was left happy and inspired at the balance between gorgeousness and functionality.
