Anatomy of a Modern Vintage Kitchen

A sheer vintage-look floral material, found by the homeowner in the bargain bin of a fabric store, adds a bit of color to the glass-front upper cupboards. What makes this hutch modern, of course, is the way it straddles two rooms, serving as a porous divider in an open plan. The upper cabinets open on both sides with shelves reachable from either room, while the base cupboards are separated, and a wraparound counter gives the piece its unified look.
