A CLEAN AND SIMPLE KITCHEN

Pushing the classically styled white cabinets and soapstone countertops along the walls

maxes out floorspace in the tiny cooking area and meshes well with the rest of the living

room’s decor. Glass-front upper cabinets offer a more refined (and nearly as airy) option

than traditional open shelving that is typically found in rural kitchens.

SECRET STORAGE

Smart cabinetry in the kitchen

marries form and function. Modern

eyesore appliances—refrigerator,

dishwasher, laundry machines—and

even a fully stocked bar are hidden

behind paneled doors, allowing

the home to feel both older and

uncluttered.

Light Touches

A shiplap backsplash

and old-timey louvered

shutters reference

Southern farmhouses.

Extra Workspace

An antique pine dining table sits

snugly in the kitchen and doubles

as a food-prep station.
