Charles Lantz calls this a painted kitchen, but it's unlike any painted kitchen I've ever seen. Each piece is carefully built, then painted to creat an illusion of something other than wood - marble? Everything gleams - I think it's a lot of work to keep this kitchen looking as beautiful as it deserves! The line of cabinets is long - the kitchen is very large. The only thing on the countertop is a block of knives, a coffee maker and a few small bottles.
