Of late, I've been mesmerized by this kitchen and dining space I saw on Dwell. The proximity to the outdoors, the matte black cabinets, accessories and fixtures is a welcome departure from the typical white or wood toned kitchens that abound.

A two thousand pound door framed in a metallic acid lemonade yellow swings open to allow access to the outdoor deck and BBQ space. Go to the <a href="http://www.dwell.com/slideshows/designed-in-house.html?slide=14&c=y&paused=true">Dwell site</a> to see more of this lovely home.
