Gorgeous! I love so much about this kitchen by Karen Swanson of <a href="http://newenglanddesignworks.com/">New England Design Works.</a> This was one of the last kitchens that we visited on the <a href="http://wenhammuseum.org/">Wenham Museum</a> Heart of the Home Kitchen Tour. I have <a href="http://designvignettes.blogspot.com/2012/09/please-come-in.html">a neat photo</a> of the designer in this very space, taken in August when it was completely gutted. I am very impressed with the transformation! The wallpaper is fabulous, the modern lighting is dramatic while functional, the art – although not intended to remain on the counter edge – sets the mood. From the acid green chairs to the sliding barn door to the whispy white surroundings, this kitchen has an eclectic edge yet feels right at home in this 1850s colonial. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSnul0YtUOj0-385Eov5i5WlQnO3Sws__K3rwk9_U-R4XxYEWU6FmbP_gG4ClHbr3SJnTvMe_XWzjqczCeH8U01Gh0hlBt-6sdGaG2YH_-vjPiyhfxD5VFtHOCZSbwIWjfTxXRZixsSli/s1600/stove+swanson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSnul0YtUOj0-385Eov5i5WlQnO3Sws__K3rwk9_U-R4XxYEWU6FmbP_gG4ClHbr3SJnTvMe_XWzjqczCeH8U01Gh0hlBt-6sdGaG2YH_-vjPiyhfxD5VFtHOCZSbwIWjfTxXRZixsSli/s800/stove+swanson.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Horizontal tongue-in-groove walls create a unique backsplash above a 48 inch Wolf range plus inset cabinets from <a href="http://pennvillecabinetry.com/">Pennville Custom Cabinetry.</a> Karen is a dealer for this product line and chose many custom features to show off in her own home. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: start;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM0YbKnhQtzFtX5F5z0EhdVTnRA6o17828fTm7ewKxSu4jD3OJWMkQyZPrsMmncehidDp8OJOHscvxW8QxcAojk5o1Fwa84tf9acg_Qgf0P5knQs9uujZSOWIdU1UxEg5EFVeAXxMZ9y5d/s1600/swanson+sink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM0YbKnhQtzFtX5F5z0EhdVTnRA6o17828fTm7ewKxSu4jD3OJWMkQyZPrsMmncehidDp8OJOHscvxW8QxcAojk5o1Fwa84tf9acg_Qgf0P5knQs9uujZSOWIdU1UxEg5EFVeAXxMZ9y5d/s800/swanson+sink.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">The stainless steel sink has a very modern faucet.
