This large galley kitchen was taken down to the studs, and re-imagined to be bright and cheery. The traditional white cabinets feature glass-front doors and hidden features such as pull-out garbage bins, tray storage and dishwasher. The large cast-iron farm house sink from Kohler features double bowls that are separated with a low divider, making it easy to clean large trays and pans. Susan Fisher Plotner, FISHER PHOTOGRAPHY

This tiny apartment had so many quirks and random placed cabinets and walls it was a real challenge to create a cohesive look. The toile fabric covered board closes off the open window between the bedroom & living room plus creates a fun place for mementos, art and gifts. photo: Chris Dorsey
