When I first saw this photo, I noticed how the hand-formed tiles bring a welcome texture into this mostly-monochrome kitchen. But then, an incidental observation took precedence: I'm really impressed with how effectively this design disproves any notion that the range must be a statement-making behemoth in order to make an impact in the room. Small is beautiful, indeed.
