Kitchen Ideas
36. New use for old things in Los Angeles. Chris and Amber Earl repurposed their original ironing board cabinet as an open spice rack. They also installed a new sink, countertops, tile and backsplash. The existing details in the kitchen, including the pulls and hardware, were mostly copper. The couple loved the look and kept the cabinetry, pulls and most of the hardware. They use copper accents throughout the home too.
27. Much-needed DIY shelf with design flair. Andy Ryback’s row-house kitchen was in need of some extra kitchen storage. It took some head-scratching and a trip to the local Home Depot for pipe and reclaimed wood, but he built this industrial-style exposed shelf as a weekend project. It’s backed by a vibrant coat of Douglas Fir by Benjamin Moore.
19. Modern dish rack in East Vancouver. Designer Toni Wai figured out a clever countertop detail to eliminate the need for a dish rack in his family’s kitchen. A recessed slot with cast metal tracks in their custom concrete countertops is angled toward the sink, allowing water to drain and dishes to dry.
6. Vibrant hues and pup-proof flooring in Pennsylvania. Playful hues accent pale walls, giving the kitchen of Sara and Zach Wasser a Scandinavian vibe. The handy couple removed countless layers of linoleum, tar paper and pressboard from the floor, walls and ceiling to create a clean slate for a mostly DIY $6,000 kitchen update. They coated the soft wood floors with a rubberized epoxy commonly used in automotive shops and aircraft hangars. The ease of application and industrial-strength finish of this self-leveling product appealed to them. “We knew it would hold up well to the claws of our two pups,” Sara says. She painted a salvaged fireplace mantel teal and used it behind the range and also resurfaced an art room sink. The butcher block countertops bring the warmth of wood to the white kitchen.

43. Clever hidden pantry in New England. Lucy Fagella and Terri Kerner had their kitchen pantry installed on the back side of their mug cabinet (seen in the previous photo). The pantry door was built using one of the finds from the old barn previously on the property.
