Under the care of an anxious new owner, Paul Rogers, an old whaling cottage circa s was saved and restored. In the pretty blue and yellow kitchen, ceiling-hung cabinets hold the vent hood and frame an opening that allows the cook to keep an eye on guests. The white apron-front sink, seeded-glass cabinet doors, Victorian-style faucet, and butcher-block counters all add cottage accents. This kitchen in a Amagansett, New York cottage was widened just 2 feet, but with white cabinets swapped in for the old cherry cupboards, and the addition of white marble countertops and backsplash, the room appears twice its former size.
Architect Darren Helgesen's simple, clean-lined moldings and trimwork—all, like the beamed ceilings and walls, finished in white tones—contribute to the sense of spaciousness.
A custom mantel hides the range hood and gives cabinets a finished look. A wall came down to create room for a peninsula and open up the kitchen to a new breakfast area. Marble counters, a pro-style range, and a walnut-stained top on the snack bar play off cottage-style beadboard and vintage-look cabinets with old-fashioned polished-nickel hardware. Another view of the all-white cottage kitchen in Amagamsett, shows the sunlight pouring through new, storm-worthy windows onto the apron-front sink and polished-nickel Victorian-style lav faucet.
The kitchen offers more than a place to chop veggies or cook a roast. This colorful kitchen in Watercolor, Florida acts as the ultimate family gathering spot, where grandkids clamor for snacks while puppies play at their feet. To accommodate all the activity, homeowners Jim and Linda Strickland opted for well-worn antiques and rustic furniture that belie the space's relatively young age.
When the owners of this kitchen , Eileen Eisele and Greg Ruccio, moved into their Shingle-style house, the existing space was dysfunctional. A professional photo stylist, Eileen knew she could create a warmer mood with just a few changes in the visual landscape. Now, with its warm finishes and artful details, the once yawning room is intimate.
Eileen loved the idea of using reclaimed wood for its timeworn patina, so their architect used it for an island that marries modern efficiency and vintage styling.
The dishwasher and pullout trash bin are totally concealed behind wood panels. Open-shelf storage allows access to the microwave on one side and, on another, provides a foothold for anyone who wants to sidle up to the counter for a snack or keep the cook company. Gregg and Nancy Alling were eager to redo the kitchen in their house in Toledo, Ohio —and they tackled it bit by bit, using little more than his workshop, her eye, and a shared taste for bargains.
To-the-ceiling cabinets and trim, light-reflecting finishes, a built-in plate rack, a tiled toekick, and niches for the fridge, TV, and microwave add function and updated traditional style. A striped rug adds a welcome pop of color that plays nicely with fresh flowers and colorful appliances.
It turned out to be owners Dorian and Elaine Walker's biggest hands-on project. Dorian learned how to make cabinet doors and Elaine had mastered putting down hexagonal ceramic-tile flooring. A circa gas- and wood-burning stove became the starting point for a vintage-style kitchen with marble counters, a tin ceiling, salvaged pendant lights, and a reclaimed heart-pine floor with a ceramic-tile "rug" in front of the range. The wainscot was inspired by beadboard in an existing pantry.
After relocating a once-grand Texas Queen Anne to their lakefront building lot, Jim and Sharon Wade tackled a massive whole-house renovation. They saved a good deal of money because Sharon had a knack for salvaging materials and fixtures. The durable gray granite countertops mimic the look of period-appropriate but more nick-prone soapstone. Retro details like the built-in plate rack, glass-front doors, bin pulls, and cabinet latches maintain the spirit of the old kitchen.
Nothing revives an old room like an energetic new color scheme. In Rich and Sue Linder's s ranch house in Laguna Beach, California , a previous remodel left behind a washed-out white kitchen, save for the sensational stove Sue inherited from her mother.
White beadboard and glass-front cabinets mixed with open shelves; a red range hood and pendants helped tie in the vintage range. Still, the room looked a little tired. The cabinets and counters stayed the same, but a carefully composed riot of colors makes the remodeled room as warm and welcoming as its s stove.
The new color palette complements the sunny space, including bright yellow walls, a citron ceiling, and lime wainscoting.
This grooved style of paneling warms walls and cabinetry and adds architectural interest with a minimum of fuss. Because it has so much visual impact, you don't need much to create a cottage effect. Go the classic route and paint it a creamy color, choose the same hue as your cabinetry or sand it slightly for an aged, distressed look. Farmhouse sinks.
Also called apron-front sinks, these beauties have made a comeback in recent years. They feature a broad, shallow face and an extra-deep bowl that can accommodate large pots or stacks of plates. Farmhouse sinks create a sense of country living, yet they're unfussy enough to work with cleaner-lined spaces.
Although some versions on the market have raised or decorative detailing, streamlined styles like the one shown here are the most classic. Furniture-style cabinet details. Years ago, before cabinets as we know them came into vogue, freestanding armoires, pie safes and presses were the rule.
Evoke that time period by adding furniture features to built-ins. Tuck bun feet beneath lower cabinets and corbels beneath upper ones, or paint a built-in hutch a contrasting color to give the illusion that it isn't fixed. Cup pulls. Cup-style drawer pulls, such as those that might have been found in an old-fashioned general store, lend an extra dash of period flavor to cottage kitchens. Choose a finish with patina, such as oil-rubbed bronze or brushed nickel.
Hardwood flooring. Before carpet became de rigeur, hardwood floors were the norm, and they complement cottage kitchen style. You can either leave the planks bare to show the natural beauty of their grain or paint them in a solid color or a pattern such as checkerboard.
However, hardwoods aren't the only choice for cottage kitchen floors — linoleum, vintage-look tile or even slate could work as well. Pendant lights. Low-hanging pendants help a kitchen feel cozy and also provide all-important task lighting. Select models that have a retro feel, with shades of seeded or frosted glass or brushed nickel.
