Instead of a backsplash,<br />
the homeowners<br />
of this Zenlike<br />
kitchen opted<br />
to install a wall<br />
of shallow cubbies<br />
behind the counter<br />
and stove for<br />
additional storage.<br />
They can either<br />
keep all the sliding<br />
Formica panels<br />
closed to give the<br />
illusion of a ricepaper<br />
screen, or<br />
leave a few open<br />
to display curated<br />
vignettes, like<br />
pretty ceramics.<br />
Opposite: The unit<br />
that separates the<br />
kitchen from<br />
the dining room appears<br />
to be simply<br />
a piece of furniture;<br />
on the other side,<br />
it’s a hardworking<br />
kitchen counter.<br />
Like the white sliding<br />
doors in the<br />
kitchen, the blue<br />
doors are Formica,<br />
chosen for both<br />
their rich color and<br />
their affordability.<br />
The dining table<br />
was made from an<br />
old cherry tree<br />
on the property that<br />
had to be cut down.
