The editors at Remodelista and The Organized Home have some great ideas for how to be sustainable when it comes to kitchen design. Here, some examples from this week’s posts:
The Forever Kitchen

It’s the same as it ever was—aside from upkeep, very little has changed—and that’s how they like it. Photograph by Gillian Stevens, from A Multigenerational Family’s Cabin Retreat, Unchanged by Time.
The Salvaged Kitchen

The Garden-Friendly Kitchen
