Kitchen + Dining: Industrial-Inspired Chef's Kitchen
Natural wood and cool gray tones combine in this chef's kitchen from Becky Shea Design, creating a space that's more raw and masculine in style. Large pendant lights, stainless cabinet pulls and metal barstools add an industrial element to the room that's befitting of an apartment in New York City.
