Love the pattern on the bottom half of the wall. Is this a stencil? How was it created.

Ordinarily I don't like dark colours as they always feel oppressive to me. But there is something about the first picture. Maybe because the units aren't quite black, or because there is lots of light from the side window, but I'm really drawn to it. It looks great in the daylight, and I bet it would lovely lit up in the evening.

Thanks Patrick (the other one), I saw that, but I am in the UK. So what I meant was where can I get a metal one HERE. Lots of wooden Globe Wernickes to be had here, but not a metal one.

Initially I thought some of the comments above were a bit harsh in terms of the boring-ness of the design. But now that I've had a look myself, I tend to agree. I think individual elements are elegant in their simplicity, but it is too restrained, too conscious of sticking to a design brief. It looks like what it is: a show house, not a home. For me, the overall effect is one of sterility.

I live in the UK. I make a point of getting these from Williams-Sonoma whenever I'm in the USA. I've recently bought some from Crate & Barrel and found no discernible difference. I generally put them in the dish washer, but the microwave is a great idea too. I've had a long running debate with my mum and sister about the use of paper towels, so I was very happy to come across this and the related paper towel-less kitchen articles.
