Black Spartan Kitchen

Victor & Sergio,
Check out this expose from Dwell. It looks suspiciously like our plans for the kitchen! Concrete floor and countertop, coupled with dark stained wood - how original of us! :)

Tho' I am VERY interested in duplicating their build process for our kitchen cabinet doors/panels. Here is their description:

Atherton made the bathtub and sinks by hand, out of marine-grade plywood held together with aluminum spline joints and dyed with Behlen Solar Lux in jet black. To make them waterproof, he coated every surface in a thick layer of West System marine epoxy, popular with builders of wooden boats. The components are inexpensive, but the process is time consuming.

What a beautiful sink! Sergio's cast concrete sink has some serious competition... ;)
