apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Look!: Cabinet Covers by Blonde Redhead

5-21-08 br tour1.jpgClicking through the Domino website we saw this old house tour from Kazu Makino and Amedeo Pace of Blonde Redhead. They came up with a creative way to cover that ubiquity of apartment rentals, the ugly kitchen cabinets...

Makino hung up French linen curtains on a little rod to hide the eyesore while maintaining accessibility to the storage underneath. We really like this idea, and though it's hard to tell in the photo how the rod is hanging, we think you could just attach some hooks on the upper outside portion of the cabinets on which it could rest. Very simple, but can make a big difference.

I am still deeply in love with one of the kitchen chairs from this tour.
