The Farmhouse Kitchen

The stove is an original 1914 Acorn, refurbished into seven propane stove top burners and three electric ovens with a warming oven on the upper left side. David Erickson, near Boston, Mass., is the restorer and told me this stove was one of two in his known existence. At that time, the other was in a Colorado kitchen owned by Ralph Lauren.

The wood burning kitchen fireplace (propane stove removed) was re-built using slave made brick with a slab of wormy chestnut as mantle.

The birch kitchen cabinets, in an L shape with piano hinges, were hand crafted on site. A Welsh type cupboard takes up one wall (behind this end of table) with a 12 plate rack above the counter; some upper cabinets have glass fronts. A chef's pantry is on left side and a walk-in pantry with double sink behind the rocking chair.
