This farmhouse kitchen with open maple shelves displays the homeowner’s unique collection of stoneware and pottery. Classic maple butcher block counters tie into the soapstone around the sink. The interior window creates a sense of openness and passage of light into the adjoining rooms. Custom painted cabinets have a furniture look with decorative legs. Floors are natural ash with tongue oil finish.
