This cosy cottage, with its low ceilings and uneven walls, needed a bright, functional kitchen that would suit a young family. The bespoke Quebec Yellow timber cabinets, painted in Farrow & Ball Joah’s White, quite literally fit the bill, whilst the English Oak work tops and hand forged iron handles add warmth and character. The owners also wanted a bespoke kitchen table, which Hill Farm crafted from English Oak and finished in a stunning cherry colour to match the kitchen stove. Photo: Clive Doyle
