Current Obsessions: Kitchen Confidential

This past week we introduced Remodelista: A Manual for the Considered Home, based on the concept of a step-by-step recipe book (everything you need to know to make it through a remodel). This coming week, we’ll be riffing on the theme, covering subtle changes you can make the kitchen: new outlet covers, a quick lighting or hardware switch-out, a new coat of paint.

• Inspired by bourbon (Southern Living).
• Our friend Rena Tom tipped us off to her latest venture: A Makeshift Society in Williamsburg. Head over to Kickstarter to support this worthy cause.

• Stacey has been keeping her sartorial eye on the menswear pop-up market, Northern Grade in Richmond, Virginia.
• A toolshed gets a new lease on life (Sunset Magazine).
• Currently coveting: enamelware in cool colors seen on Country Living.
• Check out Brooklyn design trio Egg Collective shop (via New York Magazine). See our previous profile: Heirloom Furniture from Egg Collective.
• Sarah is looking forward to Adam Silverman’s new book, Adam Silverman Ceramics, a monograph from Rizzoli Press. Heath will be hosting Silverman and a show of his one-of-a-kind pots in their new space–the Boiler Room at the Heath Ceramics campus–on Friday, September 27.
• Izabella likes this technique for a pre-kitchen remodel in Kreuzberg: map it out with white tape; see more via Fantastic Frank.
