Swedish Apartment Kitchens by Alvhem Makleri

Having lived in Sweden ourselves, for a short time, many years ago, I was keenly interested when I cam across the Goteberg interior design firm Alvhem Makleri 

Simple and refreshing.

Georgian Townhouse by Martin Moore & Company

As you can see, I'm on a Martin Moore & Company kick, simply because they've done some great design work.

Karin Blake - Minimalist Transitional Design

Today we are featuring more of the work of Malibu, California designer, Karin Blake.

I have called her work a kind of minimalist transitional design because of the simple clean, and in some cases narrow, lines and the flat slab door and drawer-fronts.

Please note that these are still face-framed cabinets with inset door and drawer-fronts.  The scaled down face-frame design element is key to the overall look of tying together the traditional with the minimalist design.

If you try to duplicate this look without the stiles and rails of the face-frame, using frame-less cabinets,  you will end up feeling very dissapointed; it will look like you got it half right.

Classic Americana

This kitchen by designer Karin Blake, as it appeared in Architectural Digest. 
Using a mix of flat slab drawer-fronts and barn-style shaker doors, this space has a classic Americana feel.
