Above: The limestone countertops and floor tiles from Provence infuses a French accent into the space. The island countertop is poured-pewter, which will patina over time. Reclaimed oak ceiling beams are both structural and decorative, sourced from France. The weathered timbers helps to bring an authentic vibe to the space. The locally quarried stone on the walls nods to the stonework of farmhouses. A mortar wash mixed with site dirt was applied to the stone to soften the color of the rocks while creating a heavier coarseness.

The cabinets were painted inย Wimborne White | Farrow & Ball. The industrial zinc pendant lights were sourced from Urban Electric Co. Appliances includes a Wolf convection steam oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Shaws Original apron front fireclay sink from Rohl. An 1800s Spanish trestle table was repurposed, mounted on risers to boost it to counter heightโ€”the original ball feet were re-attached. This is where the homeowners dine every night. The wing back chairs creates a cozy conversation area where they sip drinks and chat.
