Urban Retro Kitchen Design

Rustic baskets above the shelves and a mod '60s light fixture emphasize the height of this kitchen.

H&H style editor Michael Penney removed the upper kitchen cabinet doors and stapled grasscloth wallpaper to the back, creating chic and expansive-looking open shelves. A wallpaper feature wall also draws the eye up and out to the window view.
