At first glance, the Bornholm Kitchen may look like another traditional cabinet for your bedroom. It is, as the name suggests pretty strongly, not in fact another piece of furniture. Instead, it is a kitchen counter fitted with a sink and everything else you'd need.
Designed by Susan Serra and her daughter Kelly Serra Donovan, the Bornholm Kitchen is inspired by the Scandinavian culture. This freestanding counter brings a warm, homey feeling that goes along well with one of its main design purposes: To encourage social interaction.
Debuted during the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, the Bornholm Kitchen is available in either natural Walnut or Rift Oak and can be custom designed under the supervision of certified kitchen designers. I don't know why anyone would want to change anything about this great piece, though.
