Scott renovated his kitchen entirely on his own, figuring it out as he went along. You'd never guess it from spending time in this delightfully bright space, a classic with a modern twist. He's certainly made the most of this funky layout with the use of strategically placed pantries and a keen sense of organization. Scott is also one of the most inventive cake makers I've ever met. This man's got a gift and no friend's birthday is complete without one of his outrageous confections.

Who: MK, Italian kitchen design
What We Noticed: I don't think of myself as a minimalist, but this hood and sleek wood island with integrated cooktop literally stopped me in my tracks at EuroCucina. In context it felt serene and quiet, unfussy and very functional. The white almost blends in to the ceiling, and the woods keeps it feeling warm. Nothing here is trying too hard.

I'm in Milan this week for EuroCucina, the big European kitchen design trade show. After being surrounded by sleek, beautiful, new things all day, it was refreshing to step into this old trattoria in Brera, and watch this man slice cured meat on a machine that was no less gorgeous than the objects I had seen all day at the show — it was used and worn under that fiery red gloss, and this only added to its dangerous charm.

I met Dakota Witzenburg a few years ago at a friend's store. He is a wonderful cabinet and furniture maker (co-owner of todosomething, based in Los Angeles) with an incredible eye for design! And I just found out that he loves to bake, especially his grandmother's secret pie recipes. He has my dream kitchen, a kitchen which he built himself. It's a beautiful blend of modern and traditional — with unexpected green cabinets!

Seattle's newest seven-acre park in the city's Beacon Hill neighborhood will be filled with edible plants—walnut and chestnut trees, apple and pear trees, blueberry bushes, even more exotic fruits like pineapple and persimmons—and everything will be available for public plucking! How amazing is that? More

When I asked Dixie whether she used her kitchen, she said, "It depends what you mean by use." That ominous answer immediately tells you that this is not going to be a typical tour for The Kitchn. But what Dixie lacks in cooking acumen, she makes up for in irreverent whimsy and an approach to color in her kitchen that can inspire any cook to make the kitchen a little more playful.
