Clever innovations lend interest to this richly detailed renovation of a kitchen and bath. Open shelving preserves a kitchen view to the outside, and see-through stainless mesh forms a gossamer scrim, partially veiling the adjoining rooms. In the bath, traditional enclosures have been revisited; wood lath partitions screen shower from tub, and toilet from lavatory. If necessity is the mother of invention, sometimes economy is the mother of elegance.
