This kitchen and living space in design editor Christine Hanlon's home has all the makings of a modern bistro.
Deciding to renovate their kitchen wasn't easy for
Style at Home design editor Christine Hanlon and her husband. "The kitchen was in decent shape, but the layout was awkward and sprawling. I wanted to keep things simple -- design and budget-wise -- and the IKEA team was indispensable. They helped me execute my vision in a way that was both functional and cost effective."
When it came to the look, Christine was torn between the
traditional style she's always loved and a new appreciation for streamlined contemporary design. The solution? Marry the two looks to create a brand-new style Christine calls modern bistro. The result is a contemporary space that functions like a dream and is chock full of timeless appeal.
