To be filed under Genius Kitchen Hacks to Borrow from an Artist: the DIY twists on tradition in German-born glassmaker Jochen Holz‘s studio kitchen in Stratford, East London. (Contributor Nell Card took a full tour a few weeks back on Remodelista; see Kitchen of the Week: A Glassmaker’s Imaginative Studio Kitchen in London, DIY Ikea Hacks Included). Among Holz’s revelatory ideas? A painted sheet of glass as ad-hoc backsplash, reclaimed Marmoleum scraps pieced together into a countertop, and Ikea cabinet boxes transformed with pink-tinted plywood fronts and the artist’s own handmade glass door handles. Plus, shelves and shelves of Holz’s own molten, multi-colored...

This kitchenette pleases me to no end. The kitchenette, which rests on the top floor of a Brooklyn brownstone, appears in our book Remodelista: The Organized Home, and every time I stumble upon the photograph, I’m reminded that this is how I want to live—surrounded by fewer, more considered possessions. It’s not just a pretty picture, though. Despite its space limitations, this kitchenette is hard-working and highly functional. Here, 5 space-saving ideas to steal from it: Photography by Matthew Williams, styling by Alexa Hotz, for Remodelista: The Organized Home.

It’s hard to change habits. I’ve been trying to meditate in the mornings for, oh, about six months now. I even added the Headspace app to my phone; it sends reminders every morning at 6:15 to do a guided meditation. Yet even with this daily reminder, even though my desire to meditate is genuine, I don’t. I know I’ll get there some day. One step in the right direction?

There’s not a year that goes by that we don’t come across a gushing tribute to Julia Child’s revolutionary use of pegboards in her kitchen. No wonder: Her ability to see beauty in the humble and her elevation of organization to an art form still feels fresh and relevant today. Recently, we saw a kitchen storage method that floored us in a similar way as Child’s pegboards. And, naturally, we spotted it in the home of two professional chefs: famed London culinary couple Margot and Fergus Henderson. Margot is the chef/co-owner of Rochelle/Canteen and the newly opened Rochelle/ICA; Fergus—dubbed “an...
