Julia cooks in a simple, industrial-style loft where she’s learned to pare down and organize her cooking supplies to adapt to the limited storage and open space she shares with her mixologist boyfriend, Julian. “This place has taught me to be really on top of maintenance, and to keep everything I need in good shape” she says.

When the couple decided to live together two years ago, Julia just added her own touches to the admittedly retro kitchen. Join us as we tour this lovely open space!
