Designed by Cindi Flahive Sobel
"Alice and Andy live in a 200 year old farmhouse that, one year ago, reminded one of a rabbit warren. They even had a staircase that led to nowhere. One year later, an additional 1500 square feet and a house full of Graber cabinets has them living in a wonderful transition between new and old.
Graber cabinets in black and cream, mixed with some glass doors and many stainless appliances, brought the kitchen into the present without compromising the heart of the old farmhouse. The project continues but, as with all great family houses, the kitchen speaks of how the couple, their family and their guests come together to enjoy food, and even more importantly, each other."
(Although the photos say 2006, this kitchen was completed in 2009!)
