Old Is New Again

A period-perfect color palette and cottage-style touches, like the exposed wood-plank ceiling and walls, give this cozy kitchen a timeless look. State-of-the-art appliances and industrial-style pendants over the island bring it into the 21st Century.

Just off the kitchen, a butler's pantry offers extra storage and spillover room. Keeping the flooring, cabinets and ceiling treatments the same unifies the two spaces.

Contrasting Countertops

Desisnger Rafe Churchill chose two hardworking kitchen countertop materials — soapstone tops the kitchen's base cabinets and acts as a backsplash above the stove while a maple butcher block ensures the island is perfect for food prep.

Cozy Living Room

More soapstone surrounding the adjacent living room's fireplace ties into the kitchen's durable countertops. The room's vaulted ceiling and abundance of windows ensures there's plenty of natural light.
