Galley kitchen renovation

"We spent as little time as possible in the kitchen,” the homeowner says of the before.

Attention foodies and amateur chefs: There’s nothing like a beautiful, work-of-art kitchen to inspire homemade meals of the same caliber.

New York City apartments can be notoriously small — like 55 square feet small. One place where it’s easy to feel the lack of square footage in a tiny apartment is the kitchen, but fear not: There are plenty of small-space tips and tools specifically for kitchens.

Cozy and compact!
