Paint color on cabinets: custom. Hardware: a mix of mahogany Shaker Knobs and Bella Brass Cup Handles. deVOL says, “This is essentially a galley kitchen, but the room was open at both ends so you could walk straight through from the dining room to the garden. The owners needed a hardworking family kitchen but something that was neat and unobtrusive. This kitchen is not the show off kind, it’s the quiet shy type that always wins the affections of everyone with its endearing style.” 10 Amazing English Country Kitchens by deVOL.
Meet me at the finish line with your thoughts about how European country kitchens differ from those commonly seen in the USA.

Design: Artichoke. Tuscan Villa Guglielmesca Bespoke Redesign by Artichoke: Hotel to Private Home. Inspiration for the bespoke kitchen design in Villa Guglielmesca was taken from typical Tuscan agricultural furniture design. The primary timber being used for the kitchen is French oak. The oak on the island was bleached and the oak for the pan-shelves were fumed to age them. The bread board island tops are made from wild-grain European Walnut sourced in Italy. The arched doors on the end of the plastered island are made from solid oak, roughly hand planed across the grain with a curved plane blade to create an aged effect. The glazed dresser doors close on traditional espagnoletes.

Design: Artichoke. Beautiful painted cabinetry in a kitchen for a classical house in Shaftesbury, North Dorset. The kitchen is situated on the upper ground floor and sits under an impressive lantern. To blend the kitchen’s design with the classical detail of the building, Artichoke employed a ‘simple estate joinery’ style with recessed panels and stopped chamfer details on the doors. To improve work flow and shorten the distance between the scullery and the sink, the island was split in two. Primary materials: Hand painted furniture in an oil based egg shell finish. Honed Carrara marble worktops. Locally quarried stone for the chimney piece surrounding the AGA. Stunning English Country Kitchen Design Inspiration as well as bespoke interiors designed by Artichoke. Rather lovely indeed!

Farm sink: deVOLkitchens Tuscan Farmhouse Carrara marble sink. The Scullery is one of the three rooms that make up the downstairs of deVOLkitchens’ Millhouse showrooms at Cotes Mill. The bespoke kitchen brand says, “it’s a very simply furnished room and of all the spots to see this Classic English range, it’s the most humble. You see the piece of furniture, solid hardwood, handmade and hand-painted, it’s not a modular kitchen cupboard that needs another one next to it, it’s a whole cupboard all-encompassing.” 10 Amazing English Country Kitchens by deVOL.

thanks for the prayer, friend. me too. this is certainly a season where i welcome time to move swiftly.
I’m not a fan of rustic in my home. I might design a cottage with a hint of rustic but never my house.
I do like the Artichoke kitchen. From the wide plank flooring to the mantel over the Aga stove, to the two islands with marble tops. I would change the edge to an ogee ( better suited to that style) and extent the marble to create an area for stools.
I hope you are recovering nicely from your surgery Michele.
Blessings ~Joanna

I have never lived with a rustic kitchen either. love your lovely eye. resting and living gently here as the days grow shorter and the grey skies settle in. xox
Heal well, taking care to journey through. You have a wonderful attitude, Michele, which is so important in recapturing wellness. Prayers are being sent up on your behalf.
I love the romance of a rustic kitchen. Have to smile when I contrast our Grandmother’s kitchens which were so limited in comparison to todays techno labs. How is it that their cooking always tasted SOOOO good with such basic tools? (The food was more real then, too, n’est pas?) I love to see these posts and feel whooshed back in time, a simple, sweet time. Maybe we are all craving a bit of that now.

Such a blessing to be encircled by prayers of the faithful. I totally concur about our grandmas. My grandma would come visit us and with one bowl and one fork, create these fruit cobblers bubbling over in the oven (she would actually bake these right in the oven-safe bowl) that were so delicious and beautiful. I can’t wait to someday be that grandma. xox
