Kitchen

Tucked-away appliances, eye-catching details, and spacious cabinetry create a beautiful and efficient kitchen for the open-concept floor plan at the FLOWER showhouse at Brierfield Farm

“I’ve never lived with an open floor plan, but it felt right for the more informal feel we envisioned for the farmhouse,” says Margot Shaw, founder and editor-in-chief of Flower magazine. The efficient workspace is punctuated by jaunty teal counter stools and whimsical bell-shaped, abaca-wrapped iron pendants. Appliances hide behind panels in the island or are tucked into the cabinetry. For a full room tour, watch the video above led by Mary Evelyn McKee, interior designer of the 2021 Flower showhouse.
