Apartment Therapy The Kitchn

Kitchen Tour: Sean & Daphne's Cooking Wonderland

Sean and Daphne have lived in their apartment for over sixteen years. It's a huge loft space in what was, over a century ago, an armory. The kitchen and much of the rest of the loft apartment were renovated a decade ago and are as sexy as ever!

Kitchen Tour: Blake & Rachel's New Testing Ground

Blake is a passionate force in the kitchen whether its been renovated or not. His wife Rachel is partial to a more aesthetically pleasing and functional cooking environment. So, after five years in their spacious Brooklyn apartment, they took the leap.

Cooking at 10,000 Feet: Storm Peak Laboratory

We love kitchen tours, here at The Kitchn, and while we enjoy peeking into people's homes, from time to time we also visit other, more unusual kitchens. Storm Peak Laboratory was definitely one of those.

Kitchen Tour: John and Jason's Color Infused Kitchen
New York

Jason and John have an incredibly loud and over-the-top home in terms of color but decided to tone things down a bit when it came to the kitchen.

Kitchen Tour: Jill's Small Powerhouse of a Kitchen
New York

This is my kitchen. Small but fully stocked and capable of producing dinner for fifty at the drop of a hat. Originally a 1980's galley kitchen with yellow wallpaper, laminate cabinets and linoleum, it is now more open, more functional, and, I think, more lovely to behold.

Misty's Colorful Cottage Kitchen
Kitchen Spotlight

Wow. We are so smitten with this bright, cheery cottage kitchen! It belongs to Misty and her family in Austin, Texas, and it looks like such a great place to cook.

Kitchen Tour: Melissa Clark's Revamped Kitchen

Two summers ago when Melissa Clark, the cookbook author and Good Appetite columnist for the New York Times, told me she had a baby on the way and a kitchen renovation about to start, I raced over to her Brooklyn apartment to catch the calm before the storm.

Recently, I returned to watch her develop a recipe (Rustic Shrimp Bisque in today's NY Times) and check in to see how all the improvements were serving this seasoned chef and mother.

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.

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!
