The homeowners worked with Kiki Wardlaw to create a serene space that combined their love for old English charm with all the luxuries of a modern design. Key Millwork and Supply Co. fabricated cabinets with overlay doors which were painted Pigeon, a nostalgic blue gray hue from Farrow & Ball. Handcrafted brass pulls and knobs from deVOL punctuate the design. A custom-designed vent hood was fabricated in Chicago and takes centerstage along with a stunning gourmet range by Wolf. Both extra durable and all-natural, Taj Mahal quartzite was used on both the island and perimeter countertops. Reminiscent of old vintage taps, the faucet adds a lovely appeal when combined with a traditional apron-front sink. Taylor Bennett was responsible for styling the kitchen with elements that incorpate the appeal of this design from across the pond.

A curated collection of dishes and vases are elegantly displayed in a niche crafted from reclaimed wood. Chad Sanders fabricated the dark-hued concrete countertops and backsplash, and Trey Reese installed a bold gray and white Moroccan tile backsplash from Clay Imports in Austin, TX.
