Apartment Therapy The Kitchn

Kitchen Tour: Stephen's Kitchen Improv

Stephen runs a company he founded call Protein Bakery and teaches a lot of fitness classes so it should come as no surprise that health is a top priority in his kitchen as well.

Kitchen Tour: Gretchen & Rachel's DIY Kitchen
New York

Rachel and Gretchen moved in, gutted the second floor of their apartment and rebuilt it from scratch. They made the kitchen the main attraction, dead center of the apartment's open plan.

Chris and Heather's Serene and Hippie Kitchen
Kitchen Spotlight

We are just so smitten by this kitchen! It has so much going on for it: It's light and serene, and yet it's fun and colorful, too, with little surprises that make it so fun to look at. We bet it's really fun to cook in, too.

Kitchen Tour: Ashley's Bright and Efficient Kitchen

Ashley and Stephen of the blog (Never Home)Maker aren't home much, but when they are, they love spending time in their little kitchen. They moved into their house about a year and a half ago, and when they moved in the kitchen had orange sunflower wallpaper on the walls and carpet on the floors. They have been slowly working on the kitchen, moving it towards bright functionality, but on their own budget. Here's how it looks now, and how Ashley likes to cook there.

Kitchen Tour: Isabella Adapts to Her Kitchen
New York

Isabella and her husband Jay more than doubled their living situation and more than tripled their kitchen situation when they migrated to the tippy top of Manhattan.

Kitchen Tour: Ulrika and Mark's Transformed Tudor

When Ulrika and Mark walked into the cramped, dark kitchen of a 1926 Tudor house in Cambridge, MA, they saw something no one else had: possibility. With open minds and a lot of patience, they transformed this blight into a warm, gracious space that is now the hub – and heart – of their charming historic home.

Kitchen Tour: Michelle Cooks with Art
New York

Walk through the swing door entrance to Michelle's kitchen and be prepared to swoon. Not only does the space have all the requisites for a great cooking situation, but Michelle actually loves to cook!

Kitchen Tour: Teresa's Utilitarian Powerhouse
New York

Teresa runs a tight ship. Having grown up in the Phillipines, Teresa was dutifully trained in domestic skills. As much as she might begrudge her traditional upbringing, she certainly knows her flour sifting from her egg white stiffening.

Kitchen Tour: Kristin's Bright and Open Redesign

Kristin has a busy life. She's juggling family, home, career, and even blogging, with a weekly podcast she creates and shares at her website Manic Mommies. With young children and a busy schedule, her kitchen is at the heart of her home, and ever since last year she and her husband have been slowly yet steadily renovating it. Well, it's finally done, and here's a peek into her brand-new kitchen!

Kitchen Tour: Kittie's Precision Micro Kitchen
New York

Kittie lives in a 170 square foot studio, so you can imagine how small her kitchen must be. The original Pullman kitchen dated from the 1920's and was like a narrow closet behind french doors.

Christen Carter's Bright and Serene Chicago Kitchen
Kitchen Tour

We first saw Christen Carter's light, bright kitchen in the Chicago Reader's Nest issue (here's our discussion). Since then Apartment Therapy did a full tour of Christen's lovely home, and here's a peek into her vintage-inspired yet thoroughly modern kitchen.

Kitchen Tour: Veronique and Thierry's French Kitchen
New York

Veronique and Thierry are French expats living in SoHo, Manhattan. Rather than following the 'when in Rome' protocol, they choose to cook and cook often in their relatively spacious, DIY kitchen.

Arielle's Warm and Practical Artistic Kitchen
Kitchen Spotlight

We just came across a kitchen that we do believe manages to have it all. It's warm and glowing, painted in that yellow color we do love in kitchens. It's artistic, with art scattered about, and an antique table from Italy in the corner. And yet it's also practical in so many ways; it's clear that a real cook lives here.

Kitchen Tour: Pratt Designer Infused Kitchen
New York

These two kitchens aren't in use at the moment, but a lot of designers and artists worked together to make them happen. A Brooklyn developer invited Pratt School of Design's students and professors, past and present to contribute to a couple of model apartments in their latest project, Third + Bond.

Kitchen Tour: Ashley Ann's $500 Light and Lovely Remodel

We have been big fans of Ashley Ann's photography and charming design sense for a while now. So when we saw that she was remodeling her kitchen we had to get a sneak peek. She graciously shared some photos and the story. Here's a look at how she and her husband remodeled their kitchen for under $500, along with some of the cost-saving tips that let them do it for so little.
