Two simple renovations of this 1920’s bungalow transformed the function and flow of two of the most important spaces in a house; the bathroom and the kitchen. The owner wanted to update the spaces to reflect a modern lifestyle while respecting the house. By changing the flow and function of the kitchen it now works for entertaining and multiple chefs while the clean spare finishes keep it fresh and clearly modern. The bathroom was made even smaller than its original form in the renovation of the kitchen so every inch of space had to be used. By unifying the finish on the surfaces, using small modern fixtures, and with a simple glass partition the bathroom is minimalist, elegant, and timeless.

I am looking for a shelf just like this one. Could you tell me who makes it please? »
Bosworth Hoedemaker You might be able to find a sheet metal shop that could cut and bend something thick enough. Otherwise you will need a custom metal fabricator.
I love the backsplash. Can you tell me what the countertop is? I would love to have Carrera Marble counters but everyone tells me no. This might be a good compromise. »
thebuilderdepot.com There is no substitute for the real thing. Natural stone is beautiful. We are the largest online supplier of Carrara marble. Our Subway tile sells from just $7.00SF: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/subway-tile.html
This is one of my favorite Houzz photos, if for no other reason than because I love the idea of having all my spices so perfectly organized that I can stack them outside of a cabinet. They look fantastic in those little jars, don't they? Just like a brand new notebook and sharpened pencils on the first day of school. That's what the new year's all about.
Carve out a spice niche. A nook behind your stove is a good place to stash spices you use everyday. A stainless shelf installed across a stone tile backsplash is all you need to store the items you need at arm's reach.
Tip: Note how these spices are in tins. Ideally spices shouldn't be exposed to light or heat, because they're lose their intensity, but this looks great and it's easy access for everyday. We use certain spices so frequently that the chance of them losing their flavor due to exposure is pretty slim.
Be mindful of what is on display. So often we place things on our kitchen counters as a sort of default — but do you really want to be looking at all of that stuff every day? Hide eyesores behind closed cupboard doors and leave the prime counter space for pretty tea things, a matched set of spice jars or a basket of fresh dish towels.
