Debbie Stirsman where did you find the suspended shelves? I love the fact that they are enclosed.

Actual-Size Architecture See comment above. The glass was cut and tempered by a local glass shop with pencil-round edges. I mounted them with standard glass hinges from a hardware store, and they're kept shut by little neodymium magnets I siliconed onto the glass.

Actual-Size Architecture I don't have those numbers anymore (there were three, verrry subtle difference between them). But color perception being what it is, you'd be better off mocking up samples that you like on site, under different lighting conditions, than trusting what comes across on your computer display.

Gainer and his wife have two young daughters, so kid friendliness was important. "Keeping them on stools at the counter is far easier than trying to monitor the mess at the table, and they like it better there too," he says.Oven: Miele; wall sink: Elkay; faucets: ChicagoMore: How to Remodel Your Kitchen | More Kitchens of the Week

The basics: Recycled paper countertops are composed of postconsumer wastepaper, nonpetroleum-based resins and pigments. This mix is heated and compressed into a dense, monolithic slab with a feel that's often compared to a warm, soft stone — like soapstone. The primary manufacturers, PaperStone, Richlite, ShetkaStone and Kliptech, all offer several colors, though the material typically is available only in medium to dark hues, all in a smart-looking matte finish.Cost: $40 to $80 per square foot installed.
The layout. Reminiscent of a Victorian kitchen, this kitchen has a central workspace, plain cupboards at the base level and open upper shelving. Functional, efficient and designed for a busy cook, the modern space still feels Victorian. Traditional moldings around the window and the painted wooden backsplashes and units all give it Victorian style.
