I first heard about
Ashley Astleford in the
New York Times. She had designed a stylish bathroom with a
Kohler urinal in a bachelor's house in Plano. I have since discovered her fabulous kitchens. (Read more about her in
Modern Luxury this month)

I can see this kitchen looking great inside a Dilbeck cottage, can't you?
