<\/p>\n
The owners got in touch in the summer of 2019 with plans to renovate their little kitchen for their property in the Catskills, New York. They actually first came across deVOL when they realised that many of the kitchens they had pinned on their inspiration Pinterest board were by us! They then ordered our brochure, visited our New York showroom to see our furniture in person and decided we were the right choice. This bungalow is a weekend home so they knew they wanted it to be peaceful and easy to be in, a space to look forward to escaping to for a few days of solace.<\/p>\n
Their previous kitchen wasn\u2019t quite right, it was outdated and a little cramped and ready for a freshen up…<\/p>\n

The property was built in 1926 and the owners wanted to ensure that their new kitchen didn\u2019t seem too new, they wanted it to feel in keeping with the history and style and charm of the home. Our Shaker range was the perfect choice. This collection of cupboards is beautifully simple and impeccably made, they feel classic without being too traditional, unfussy but very special, memorable but not over the top\u2026 they really do fit happily into all sorts of homes and this one feels extra perfect.<\/p>\n

The cabinetry colour is actually a bespoke shade we mixed up for this project, a really gorgeous dark grey with a little hint of blue and green. I especially love it paired with the dark soapstone worktop by Barra & Trumbore, a local stone company. It\u2019s easy to think dark cupboards and dark worktops could result in a kitchen that feels super moody and intense but I hope this goes to show that it doesn\u2019t have to be the case. The walls have been kept pale and thanks to all the windows, the room still feels super airy and open and easy to be in.<\/p>\n

Ah and the floor! It\u2019s by our sister company, Floors of Stone, and is their Chatsworth Oak<\/a> parquet. We are the biggest fans of parquet here at deVOL and if you can make it look like it has always been there, well, that is the ultimate achievement. This wooden floor feels aged and charming and lived in and I just love that.<\/p>\n
