20. Clever cabinet hack in Rexburg, Idaho. Joshua and Amanda Price gave their kitchen more height and dimension by taking out cabinets above the kitchen sink and adding a barn-style light and a faux Roman shade. They also gave their existing cabinets a fresh coat of white paint. After taking off one set of cabinet doors, they turned the lower part of the cupboard into a plate rack with cup hooks beneath it to keep things visible and organized.
19. Modern dish rack in East Vancouver. Designer Toni Wai figured out a clever countertop detail to eliminate the need for a dish rack in his family’s kitchen. A recessed slot with cast metal tracks in their custom concrete countertops is angled toward the sink, allowing water to drain and dishes to dry.
11. “Steampunk-rustic-mechanical” style in Toronto. This designer’s home is a labor of DIY love. Jamie Cheveldeyoff poured his own concrete kitchen countertops and built the cabinets. A cork flooring backsplash adds warmth and complements the concrete countertop and stainless steel cabinets. The shimmery glass, mirrors and metal contrast an organic driftwood piece that hangs on a sea-blue accent wall. Cheveldeyoff repurposed a street lamp that hangs over a suspended glass island outfitted with chrome bar stools.
