Cozy Kitchen

A cushy slipcovered sofa sits behind a farm table in the kitchen. "If you've got the room, having a sofa in the kitchen is bliss," Kerry says. "Comfort breeds togetherness. There's no reason not to use upholstered furniture in the kitchen, especially if it is slipcovered and washable."

The kitchen is as warm and inviting as any room in the house. To create a functional yet cozy space, new cabinetry, appliances, and countertops were added.

 

Traditional white enameled
cabinets have crystal knobs for
sparkle.

Thanks to an ample island with casual barstool seating and a big plump sofa nestled up to a farmhouse table, the room achieves that cozy balance of family-friendly and guest-ready.

Staying true to the formal and vintage qualities of the 1920s house, she selected traditional white enameled cabinets with retro crystal knobs to add a bit of sparkle. The countertop is fashioned from Carrara marble. Floral prints, crystal touches, and silver bits make it glamorous.
