Farmhouse Kitchen

“The challenge of this turn-of-the-century farmhouse was to
provide a kitchen that would function for the clients’
lifestyle in the new millennium while retaining the
architectural integrity of the house. We went with a
Shaker-style cabinet with inset panel doors in a dark stain,
in fitting with the time period. The natural maple floors and
butcher block island top, reminiscent of the chopping and food
prep that was a staple of early 20th-century life, nicely
contrast with the rich cherry wood of the refrigerator, pantry and oven cabinets.

Kaskel "The integrated cabinet panels allow
the refrigerator to blend in with the rest of the room. The
framed Sub-Zero model was chosen over the overlay series
because the single pull cabinet knob was not recommended and
the client liked the traditional full-length handle. We chose
simple black wrought-iron knobs for the cabinets. The clean
lines of cabinet moldings imitate those of the windows. In
this kitchen, a simple, clean look was key.”
