The Kitchen

Probably my favorite room in the house, this white kitchen embodies the cottage aesthetic: walls painted a warm shade of white (no VOC), lots of white wooden cabinets, and white appliances make for a clean feeling while the hardwood floors provide a solid foundation.

From the kitchen you may step out onto the deck in the backyard, or enter one of the three bedrooms, which is currently used as an office.
