Sally Schneider's kitchen

Sally Schneider is a writer, commentator, entrepreneur, former chef, and the driving force behind one of my favorite blogs, The Improvised Life. She recently shared a couple cool posts about her kitchen, which I thought I would share here.

From her personal website, this image shows Sally at work in her kitchen with James Peterson. Unless you read The Improvised Life, though, what you wouldn't know from looking at this photo is that the cabinets in this kitchen were moved from her former, larger kitchen and reconfigured in her new home. Since they didn't all fit into the new kitchen, some of the cabinets are now serving as stand-alone furniture after being fitted with a new top.

And speaking of new tops, the top for the island in her kitchen is a clever contraption made from plywood wrapped in zinc. It fits snugly over the existing granite top (which wasn't working well for food photography), but can be moved when needed.

If you want to read more about these creative kitchen transformations, here are the links to the posts:
Meanwhile, here are a few more photos of Sally's kitchen/cabinets (by the talented Ellen Silverman) to inspire you.
