NYC Kitchen Ideas
Taking a DIY approach to the space—she was under both time and budget constraints—Calderone and her husband, Victor, ripped off the reclaimed wood planks that dominated the kitchen island before enlisting Kamp Studios to create the fluted-plaster island over the existing plywood. “I know it’s going to chip and age, but I’m okay with that,” she says. “It’s always interesting to see life seeping through your design choices.” The faucets are from Brizo.
Calderone chose a richly veined slab of Calacatta Monet marble from ABC Stone for the countertops and backsplash, referencing its subtle green-and-plum undertones in the Ash Grey finish by Farrow & Ball on the cabinetry. To save time and money, she had the Ikea cabinetry refaced with doors and drawer-fronts by Semihandmade. Hardware by Optimum Brasses is designed to patina over time. Stainless steel appliances by JennAir and 1970s woven rattan stools from Spain complete the look.
