On http://houseandhome.com/tv, Toronto designer Trish Johnston gives a Brooklyn-style vibe to this formerly cramped kitchen using a faux-brick veneer and stretching the cabinetry to the ceiling to hide the ductwork. See how an inexpensive slate tile laid in a herringbone pattern, and dark grout and mullions lend this kitchen a hardworking, authentic charm.

Fantastic aesthetically appealing/cost saving idea for a "taller" kitchen: faux cupboard doors. So clever! What a beautiful space you have created.
Love this!
Why not an over-the-cooktop microwave?
My kitchen is 129 inches long, 93 inches wide, and the only way I can work out a microwave is a 30-inch cooktop with an over-the-range microwave-vent fan.
When I checked out a display at the home center, I found that the oven under the cooktop was damnably inconvenient, so I plan a wall oven at one end of the kitchen, top about 50 inches above the floor, countertop above it for a toaster-oven, and floating shelves above that, with a standard depth 36 inch fridge at the other end of the galley, about 16 inches of counter space at standard height above the floor on either side of the cooktop.
I like the idea of a 30-inch warming drawer under the oven, budget permitting.
Food prep will be on the other side of the galley, hammered copper double-bowl sink centered under the windows, a 20-inch wide floor-to-ceiling pantry at one end and a 20-inch wide cabinet above the countertop at the other end, windows all the way across in between (three 24-inch wide windows with 6-inch sash-weight-pocket details in between.
I plan on running my blue pearl granite countertop material up to the window frames and to the bottom of the cabinets.
I plan on replacing a 27-inch-wide cased opening with a 36-inch wide Dutch door into my breakfast room, probably will not install the top half of the door, and your French doors are exactly what I have envisioned all along from the breakfast room to the deck and back yard.
I haven't figured how to work the passage from the kitchen to the dining room; I'd like to widen the existing 32-inch door to 48 inches and put a French door there, but space is tight, and it is a load-bearing wall.
Ms Johnston (is that her name?) comes over as a very lively, natural and attractive lady. Her kitchen make over is wonderful. Not the ubiquitous black cabinetry, but traditional white. I love the two black wall lamps and the faux brick wall is amazing. I entertain the notion to have also such a one in my kitchen.... one day. The idea of the microwave and little pantry, inserted into the wall, possible, because on the other side there's the basement, is stunning. How clever and mischievous... :--)) I could go on and on... The black framed French window, the small window between the cupboards, so beautiful.... For the whole creation: compliments from Germany!
She knows what she’s doing. The space is a challenge but she made it very beautiful & neat, very functional and she used all the spaces for the flow in working at this kitchen.
