Dream Kitchen Design: Sun-Washed Simplicity

Neutral colors, a soaring ceiling, and furniture-like storage endow this Atlanta kitchen with beauty and efficiency.

Country Kitchen

According to architect Peter Block, this kitchen called for Belgian sensibility: simple in design but rich in details. The shiplap boards, for instance, rise three-quarters up the walls, and rich patina on the boards harkens back to the look of old farmhouse wood suited to the home's English country style.

 Conceal Appliances

Italian plaster walls contribute soft texture, and the tall windows bathe the walls in light most of the day, bringing out the plaster's natural coloring. The pigment in the plaster is colorfast, so it will harden with age, adding a level of authenticity. Custom cabinetry gives a built-in fridge and freezer a discreet presence, while stainless-steel surfaces downplay other appliances.

 Elegant Imperfections

Plaster is not the only material that improves over time -- the homeowner loves her Paonazzo marble backsplash and countertops, and the way the marble ages so it's not so shiny and perfect. Its distinctive veining in aubergine and green brings lavish color to an otherwise neutral scheme. The range is topped with a clean-lined plaster hood that suits the room's neutral but elegant style.
