To keep vases, dishes, and small appliances handy but off the countertop in her Toronto home, resident Tamira Sawatzky, an architect, designed two niches within a wall of deep cabinets. Inset outlets supply power; butcher block lines all sides; and Plexiglas doors provide hits of bright orange. Plastic World, a local dealer, custom-cut the Plexiglas for the storage cubby which sits beneath a photo by artist Chris Curreri. Photo by Naomi Finlay.
