A long wood bar runs across the opening between the kitchen and the living room, with beam columns framing it. You can sit there with coffee and still be part of what’s happening at the range. Above the cooking wall, a black hood anchors glossy white tile, and a brass pot filler folds out over the burners. The island has a prep sink and a brass faucet, and it looks straight through to the stone fireplace. Painted cabinets, brass hardware, and schoolhouse pendants keep the room warm without making it fussy.
