Kitchen

When you're left without an overhead cabinet for oven pans, try this. It's great because you can see all the items at once. Picture by Kati Mallory.

The kitchen of this historic farmhouse includes the original beadboards and some of the original cabinets to the home. The new cabinets are made from 100+ year-old heart pine. The blue/gray island ties in with the blue accents and is a good contrast to the stained cabinets.

JKE Design / The Blue Room

As kitchens grew larger throughout the 20th century to accommodate new inventions such as automatic washing machines, and smaller rooms like sculleries and larders were incorporated into the kitchen itself, a greater emphasis on utility and function ensued. In the post-war world the urge for a bright new future also made the most of new materials like plastic laminates which changed the face of kitchens in Europe for years to come. We wanted to reverse this trend and introduce a warmer and more liveable kitchen designed around our lifestyles. Bastide was born from this demand for beauty with utility; combining form and function with a continental twist. Capturing the simplicity and charm of a country kitchen, Bastide is timeless, robust and built for a lifetime at the heart of your home, by applying heritage ideas to modern culture.
