July 11th, 2010 — Furniture, Modern Furniture
Materials: Fastbo Panels, Ikea Stainless Doors, Numerar Countertop
Description: We repurposed an existing vanity (builders beige) by removing the doors, then affixing the Fastbo panels to suit the Ikea standard kitchen cabinet stainless doors (not alot of work) – (sorry don’t have the Ikea name of the stainless doors- they have a copper now but I havent seen the stainless in doors in a while.)
We then used Ikea butchers block NUMERAR countertop, stained it in ebony minwax stain and varnished with 5 coats polyurethane in high gloss.
Then added square sinks from Rona and faucets as well.

Jason Fox owns Purpose Restoration , a furniture design company that not only saves old pieces from going to the landfill, but makes them into one-of-a-kind modern treasures. He also creates custom pieces featuring his own artwork, which is inspired by graffiti and Japanese tattoo art. An ugly TV stand is transformed into a kitchen cart — I wouldn’t have thought of that! A client commission, this desk incorporates some of the client’s favorite sayings. This piece was a boring, box-store dresser, but Jason created it into an urban graffiti-inspired painting. ©2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | 4 comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook More Milk: Art Milk | Dog Milk

What better way to follow up a Christmas tree made of beer than with a kitchen made of Legos! Having shopped recently for countertop options, Legos may really be the way to go. Cool look at a relatively inexpensive price… if they can withstand my hot coffee mug I just may be sold!
This kitchen is from the home of Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti. They purchased a basic kitchen island from IKEA and then covered it with over 20,000 Lego pieces. See more here.
