THE COUNTRYSIDE KITCHEN

Photography by Andrea Rugg Photography

The galley kitchen in this home was small and did not flow well from one workspace to the next. While the existing footprint needed to be preserved along with door and window locations, the homeowners desired a more open design and a Cape Cod sensibility.
To maintain the steps in their current location and to create access to the pantry the pantry door was relocated from the kitchen wall adjacent to the kitchen. The farmhouse sink beneath the window framed with scones and wall cabinets creates a lovely focal point. While stacking ovens across from the cooktop creates a cooking station.
White cabinetry is anchored with soapstone countertops, and grey subway tile installed to the ceiling creates shine and movement. To add interest to the wall cabinets corbels were added, which helps define the Cape Cod feel the homeowners desired.
