Christmas in the Woods

The palette for the entire house was inspired by the oval tray displayed on the arched shelf in the kitchen.

The kitchen itself is a cheery, bright space, painted a creamy eggshell white and dotted with the warm tones of a few well-chosen antiques, including an English plate rack and an old flour bin that has been converted into a rolling island. To get more of a hearth feeling around the cooktop, Lynda had it installed 4 inches lower than the counter, which also makes it a little more accessible.
