Undo Developer's cookie cutter kitchen

  • Before Conditions

    Apartment is a finished loft space with 2 1/2 levels. Kitchen is on lower level, laid out against party wall in an L-shape. The stove is not vented and sets off the smoke alarms. I do not have enough counter space, or storage space and presently solve these problems by storing my stuff outside of the kitchen. I need some creative ideas to make this work better for me.
  • After Conditions

    I love to cook and to entertain and want a more functional design that will allow me to store my things and use them in an integrated kitchen. I am also a potter and would like to be able to display my work in or near the kitchen. I don't like black granite or stainless steel and want something a bit warmer. Come and wow me with your creativity!
