SWOONIFY YOUR KITCHEN
Because of EyeSwoon, my kitchen is likely the most photographed room in my home. Truth be told, the kitchen was also the easiest to elevate to my swoony standards. When I purchased this DUMBO apartment the kitchen was delivered as is, WELL almost! I choose to manipulate a few small design details that made a world of a difference.
The gray cabinets were in fact chosen by the developer and the perimeter of those said cabinets were ordinary stacked plywood. To infuse the most minor touch of elegance I ordered standard 3/4 inch brass stripping, from an online source, and clad the ho-hum plywood with brass edging. Additionally, a major addition to this space was changing the lighting that hung above the island. I desired sophistication to warm up this overly modernist space and chose two Thomas O’Brian Goodman pendants with intricate brass chain and golden interior, picking up the brass edging in the cabinetry.
