This month, I had the exciting opportunity to arrange and organize a brand new luxury kitchen.

The kitchen was designed by New York Interior Designer, Bill Smith. The space was well planned to accommodate the cook’s utensils, plates, glassware, cookware, books, and small appliances. There was also a bar area for entertaining, which had glass front cabinets for display, refrigerated drawers for mixers, special cabinets for bottles of wine, and a built in Miele espresso maker.

It sounds pretty fancy, doesn’t it? Well, it was. And I had a lot of fun planning and organizing the entire kitchen and bar.

But guess what? I used the same exact skills of organizing and common kitchen sense that I use for all of my projects. Whether it is a small studio kitchen or a fancy new designer one, I make sure that everything works for the cook. After all, when you come down to the basics, we just want to make good food.
