for the love of a house kitchen in New Hampshire Magazine




my photo

I am excited to share with you our kitchen featured in New Hampshire Magazine!
The lovely, fun and talented Amy Mitchell of Home Glow Design also writes for New Hampshire Magazine. 
The magazine article is HERE.   Amy also did a blog post on her blog HERE. 
I love the history of a shaker kitchen that Amy has included in her post and think you might enjoy a different perspective of the kitchen from someone other than myself :)

With permission from the photographer Sabrina Baloun of Sabrina Cole Quinn Photography , I wanted to share with you the photos from the shoot!

    Are those green peppercorns in the hurricane? What a great idea! Do they perfume the room much? Your kitchen is so beautiful!

      hey Stephen! Actually they are Mung beans! They are my favorite army-green and will last for ever! No smell, but peppercorns do sound interesting. Let me know if you try those;)

    Congratulations on having your beautiful kitchen in print! I have long admired your kitchen (Who am I kidding?? Your whole house!!!), and even sought your advice on marble counter tops when I was redoing mine. Among other things, you told me to follow my heart. I did, and I love my counter tops, which are quartzite (looks much like your marble) and the island is walnut. I only wish I had copied your stove!! I did not leave my "calling card" on your annual post, as my mother was in the hospital with pneumonia and flu, but you're one of my favorite and most respected bloggers. Happy 2017!

    I love your kitchen and would almost kill for your stove - almost. I just read an article about Shakers that said there were only two left in the US because of the celibacy. I love their style and the simplicity and usefulness of all that they do. Patty

    Congratulations! It's one of the most beautiful kitchens I've seen and so is your home. I have to confess I copied your shaker cabinets as well and the pewter cup drawer pulls when we remolded our kitchen in 2013. I wanted the marble counter tops as well, but I was unable convience my husband, so I settled for Granite (Exidus). I always look forward to your posts.

    I agree!! It is soo beautiful and has a nice clean look that we all love! It is a design that appeals to the majority! It makes us all want to be there with you. Did you design everything? The darker counters on one part and lighter ones on the other....stunning!

    Hello Joan, It was nice watching your kitchen develop in your blog--every piece was so well thought out and chosen with taste. The prize-winning result is no wonder. My favorite luxury is the three windows behind the sink.

      Happy New Year Jim!! Your comment made me see it from the other side, as someone who watched the whole process, so thank you for that. I usually just visualize that people are looking at the end result but you were here for the nitty gritty process. Thankfully it seems like a long time ago yet I can still remember every detail. Thank you for coming along on the ride! xxo

    Hi Joan. Great article. Congratulations on a job well done. As a lover of rescue dogs, please check out Wink's Wish FB page. Wink was adopted by a young woman in my town, Raymond, MS. She adopted him after he was severely beaten. The story of their journey to Winks recovery from his injuries is amazing. I think you will fall for Wink too!

    I love your copper roof. I don't know if this is where I comment - had a little trouble finding the comment section. Anyway, love your blog, love your precious puppies and your beautiful old home. We also live in an old home (1939) and the section of our town has many old homes that have bay windows with copper roofs. Love them as they age. Your blog is wonderful and is great inspiration.

    Hello, love your house , love the kitchen. We are redoing a farm house in NH as well. Can you tell us exactly what you used on the floor? I know what the stain was and the color came out great, but we are struggling with the tung oil. Any more info on the product and process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much
