When we first saw this kitchen in an Apartment Therapy house tour, all we could say was, "Ooohhhhh...." It looks sleek and sophisticated, but homey. A little dramatic, but still very functional. Read on for more of this gorgeous Austin kitchen.

Janie's kitchen was remodeled recently, and we really love how it looks. It's a great example of how Old World marble can look amazing with sleek, modern cabinets. We also like how the kitchen island is more open, with less visual heaviness than a more traditional island.

And of course all that sunlight is just wonderful; we like the classy linen shades a lot, since they filter the light but still let most of it in.
