This authentically renovated Bucks County farmhouse required a kitchen that would effectively blend with its historic styling. Slant-raised cabinet doors with beaded inset construction are finished in a lace paint with hand-rubbed taupe glaze. A large cabinet extended to the counter conceals small appliances behind a lift-up retracting door. Furniture details used include: hutch feet on the island, wainscot cabinet ends, and cherry wood top on the desk. Natural soapstone counter tops and farm sink are functional, yet work well with period styling.
