In the galley kitchen, which was previously the home's hallway, she chose a timeless cornflower blue to pair with the reproduction wallpaper ("Larkspur 1872" designed by William Morris) and antique mint-colored-and mint condition!-enamel gas range she found on eBay. The century-old farmhouse sink and period sconces and pendant were all additional eBay finds.
