Kitchen Utility Table

Kitchen Utility Table - renovating a home is rarely straightforward. At some point, most of us find ourselves deliberating over endless design options, from paint colours and door handles to light switches and towel rails. If this strikes a chord, then Julie Carlson, founder of the US renovation website Remodelista, has good news to share. ‘I don’t think there are ever more than 10 truly viable choices on the table,’ she says. ‘That’s why we launched our weekly 10 Easy Pieces column.’ Julie’s online sourcebook, set up in 2007 around her kitchen table in California, shook up the interiors world by becoming a one-stop reference tool for frazzled renovators. ‘I was in the middle of remodelling my own home, as were several friends, and we were faced with limitless choices over this door pull or that cupboard hinge,’ she explains. ‘But we soon found that if you can consult a short, definitive list, the experience becomes much less painful.’

Two years ago, once both their children (Will, 23, and Darcy, 21) had left for college, Julie and her husband, Josh Groves (Remodelista’s CEO), decided to relocate to New York, and took on a new decorating challenge in the form of this compact brownstone apartment in Brooklyn Heights. It occupies the raised ground floor, and what the place lacks in square footage, it makes up for in grand proportions, elegant period features and large windows. Surprisingly, given Julie’s extensive remodelling knowledge, she decided not to make any radical changes to the layout, which comprises a living and dining room, a kitchen and two en-suite bedrooms. ‘I’ve always been of the mind that generous living spaces win out over bedroom size,’ she says.
