You know how I love clean rustic white interiors. My heart leapt a little at the site of this lovely
dual-space kitchen designed by Jackye Lanham and architect William B. Litchfield. This side
features the 'for company' side. The northern-french inspirations can be seen in the beamed ceilings,
the plaster walls, and the iron windows. The black shutters make a great room divider that can be
opened or closed depending on the needs or the activity. I'm a big fan of using both lamps and sconces
in kitchens. I love leaving only the lamps on in the evening because the glow is so romantic.
To add a little eclectic touch, the cabinets were designed like furniture pieces. So very good. The
addition of the stained wood, the iron hardware and the zinc top hutch, add such warmth to the mix of
the all white. The homeowner wanted to use the brackets which are a borrowed design detail from the
exterior of the home.
This is the utilitarian side of the kitchen. The huge iron windows allow in an enormous amount of
sunlight which bounces off of the slick marble countertops and wide planked oak floors. And take a
look at the pair of mercury-glass lanterns -- I need to get my hands on these.
