Weekly Wrap-Up: Small Kitchens, Smart Solutions

Lots to be inspired by this week from our other websites, Remodelista and Gardenista. Let’s take a look:

C.S. Valentin Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Apartment Jonathan Hökklo — Above: In designer C.S. Valentin’s rental apartment, a few modifications—including a cork countertop repurposed from an Ikea Sinnerlig table—transform a dated, small kitchen. A treasured textile pinned to its edge is both a way to display the graphic art and to conceal what’s underneath. Photograph by Jonathan Hökklo from At Home with C. S. Valentin: French Eclecticism in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

Here’s another kitchen that inspired us this week—the tiniest of kitchenettes, in the most awkward of spaces. Yet it works. See Passer Domesticus: 12 Ideas to Steal from an Idiosyncratic Urban Getaway in Greece.
So that’s the difference between grout and caulk! Read Remodeling 101: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Grout and Caulk (But Were Afraid to Ask). You’ll also learn how to clean the icky stuff on them.
While we’re on the subject of domestic science, check out Meredith’s post on a new line of natural, eco-friendly, and ethically produced cleaning products made in Canada: Domestic Science: The Unscented Company in Canada.
And in the unexpected-and-delightful department, a Gardenista post on an artist’s welding studio that has some great storage courtesy of metal rails and hooks. See The Ivy League: An Artist’s Welding Workshop Covered in Vines in Upstate NY.
