TIMELESS 1920s COLONIAL REVIVAL

A suite of rooms is outfitted by a history- inspired company celebrating 50 years.

Classic in black and white, this new kitchen by Kennebec Company beautifully suits the elegant revival house built in 1920. Kennebec's designers worked with Colin Smith Architects to create a combined family room/dining room/kitchen and pantry space.

Plain, inset cabinets from Kennebec's Maine Farmhouse collection are a suitable choice. They are hand-painted, a luxury finish today but one that alludes to early casework and furniture. Special features include wood and glass doors with true divided lights, soap-stone counters, and brushed-nickel hardware. Revival fixtures reminiscent of colonial-era precedents light the space.
