Steal This Look: A Small But Complete Kitchen in Brooklyn Heights
This pint-sized kitchen in an 1890s building in Brooklyn Heights was designed by owners Peter Dolkas and Michelle Ficker of Studio Dorion. The kitchen was initially a remodel from the eighties that Dolkas couldn’t wait to strip down to the more traditional details. Here, we list the key elements that make up the look.
