Kitchen design: Cottage-style kitchen

White cabinetry

The footed kitchen cabinetry under the sink creates the relaxed look home-owner Linda Dobson wanted. An industrial-style pendant light and stainless steel appliances keep the space from feeling too quaint.

Blue decor accents

Using blue as a decor accent was a natural move for Linda.

The sink

The double-basin apron kitchen sink makes meal preparation and cleanup much easier when entertaining a crowd.

The dinner table

To create an uninterrupted work zone, designer Nancy Fournier positioned the refrigerator and pantry near the dining table. “In a cottage kitchen, it’s important to keep food storage on the edge of the prep area, as people are always in and out for snacks,” she says.
