This marvelous kitchen was a true challenge for space planning. The house was built in 1927. The original kitchen held the laundry, stove, a small icebox and an even smaller pantry. I created a comfortable peninsula for mingling while food is prepared. The William and Morris wallpaper on the ceiling was added to tie into the original wallpaper which is in the Butler's pantry next to the kitchen. Hand made tiles are used on the backsplash. A Spanish accent tile is used on the front of the peninsula. The Deckton countertop is more contemporary, being a lot thinner, and absolutely indestructible. The edge profile was intentionally thought out. I wanted it to look like the profile of a carved lion on an antique furniture piece. The beams were added to the ceiling and were also custom-created. I had the builder, Finish Point Cabinetry, channel the wood in the beam so that we could place LED lighting within them.

This angle focuses on the Cafe' double oven and the marvelous pot rack hanging below the William and Morris wallpaper. The pot rack is a reclaimed wood beam from a barn that was used to house soldiers in the Civil War. The unusual painting was a found object in storage. A local artist, who we couldn't locate, had made a unique painting with dragons. When we pulled it from the storage loft we were shocked and delighted to see dragons pictured! I had joked saying, "What if there are dragons in the painting?" Sure enough! An eclectic piece that fit into our "Castle" theme well. This image shows the antique wallpaper in the Butler's pantry. You can also see the leather straps on the cabinet doors and the hammered copper farmhouse sink. The modern Cafe' appliances keep things sleek and diminutive allowing the other elements to shine.
