Our old kitchen was full of art, but we want to keep this room quite pared back to feature really special pieces - so far we've just put up a magical nordic treescape by our talented friend Dan at www.seecreatures.co.uk , but there are a few more to come.
The grey lights are from Rockett St George, while the dark blue enamel ones are vintage from Lassco, a bit of a find as they pick up the tone of the Hick's Blue (Little Greene Paint Library) cabinets and island. We went for Carrara marble worktops, which will get scratched and aged as it's such a soft material, but I actually can't wait - I want this room to feel lived in and ageless. Our limestone floor tiles are meant to achieve the same feel. On the window seat we've used a vintage Hungarian grain sack from www.beyondfrance.co.uk as a cushion cover. Oh, and I also have the pantry cupboard of my dreams.
This is the room that has taken the most work and the longest time. I kind of really, totally, utterly and absolutely love it...
