Kitchen Corner

This 1980's fixer-upper feels like our true first home. We gave her new life, and from her, she gives baked & buttered bounty. I am a sucker for the functional and cozy "we live here" style; a working farmhouse just beginning to be a farm.

The concept of "wooden spoons" really unfolds in this room. It's where the magic happens. Garden splendor is transformed into health, communal generosity and delicious pleasure. Though she be messy, she is loved.
