This month’s Travel Feature  is all about the Quintessential Country House.  I showed some great selections for getting a colorful country house look.  The kitchen can be the heart of a relaxing retreat in the country.

Today, I thought I’d have a bit of fun with the kitchen.  Below, I’ve carried my signature style and pops of color to this utilitarian space to make the perfect place to relax and enjoy some homemade pancakes on a slow summer day.  Here’s a fresh look for a rural kitchen:
