Anyone knows what the price range is for Jumo desk lamps (the ones designed by Gray)?

Do they use glass doors in Jersey?

Id hate to live around all that glass. The sunlight would make you age like a field worker.

I like allwhite/glass/metal but it is indeed hard to pull off well without looking like a hick's perception of modernity. Not that I have anything against a well-done apt in warmer tones using interesting woods (like yrs).

the white apartment doesn't seem to be clicking for me, but I'm fan of the dark/glass/metal tones. Heck, my living room is a combination of dark grey/blue walls, chrome and glass shelving units, and then wood accents here and there (coffee table, desk, floor). The wall accents are all white. I can imagine some people really not liking it.

I don't mind modern at all but there's nothing interesting here: kitchen is depressing and everything looks lifeless (probably because it's likely some CAD rendering) - it looks exactly like renderings used to sell cookie-cutter Jersey City new condos - bonus points if there's a swimming pool in the basement and a mention of "sweeping" views of lower Manhattan. Not my cuppa

I'm assuming it's a rendering. People usually have lighting sources around the general area of the sink. And the designated eating area. And they have ovens.

I do, however, like the cupboards. Not the actual drawers themselves (though I don't dislike them), but rather the size and setup. The clean space under it all makes the room bigger.

I would like to see what you consider a nice kitchen.

I didn't say it wasn't "nice". Just not my taste

To answer your question though: give me some wood, some functional stainless steel appliances (not an ultra-thin convection range or ultra-slim hood) and enough cabinetry and I'm happy

I understand. I was just interested in what you might find to be a great kitchen?
