When I was little, I had a child-size picnic basket, complete with mini teacups, saucers, faux-enamel flatware, and napkins. It all came packaged in a dark-brown wicker basket, which to my child-brain seemed like the most valuable treasure chest imaginable. The real star, though, was the pink gingham lining that held everything in place. It […]

When it comes to remodels, we all know that kitchens are the biggest money sink of all. That’s why we’re big fans of budget rehabs that make creative use of low-cost materials. But sometimes even these minimal kitchen makeovers can be out of range, especially if you’ve just spent your last red cent on purchasing your […]

When my husband, Josh, and I moved to Brooklyn Heights a few years ago, we were lucky enough to find a parlor floor flat that hadn’t been updated for a couple of decades, so it was a blank slate. The kitchen in particular needed work, so we called on our friend Malachi Connolly, a New […]

Designers often say that the best renovations come about after you’ve actually clocked some time living in a space, so that you can have a better understanding of how your home supports (or hinders) your daily routine. Architect Jack Tsai’s clients, a couple in their 60s, had 15 years to figure out what was wrong […]

Here’s a kitchen that thoughtfully references the period and place the home was built (sometime in the 19th century, in London), yet feels thoroughly modern. It belongs to ceramic tile designer Sophie Caulfeild and her husband, James, a fund manager. The two hired architect Thom Brisco, of Brisco Loran, last year to brighten, update, and […]

I dream of unadorned kitchen cabinets that are inexpensive to fabricate and easy to use. This is how I discovered the cutout drawer and cabinet pull.
