New kitchen love

It will come as no surprise to regular readers that I have a passion for traditional style kitchens with just a dash of the modern ... the new breed of English country style kitchens in particular. Well today I can say that I have a new kitchen love, a new old-style kitchen love that is and it's not English. No it's the Swedish kitchen design firm Kitchen & Beyond. I thought I'd share a couple of my favourites but you can see more on their website.

Welcome to Dennis Severs' house 

Jo featured this home quite some time ago but as it is one of the most magical homes I have ever seen I wanted to share it again, with more breathtaking photos. Welcome to Dennis Severs' house.

Dennis Severs’ House at 18 Folgate Street, Spitalfields is more than just a time capsule. It is both a breathtaking and an intimate portrait of the lives of a family of Huguenot silk-weavers from 1724 to the dawn of the 20th Century. As you follow their fortunes through the generations, the sights, smells and sounds of the house take you into their lives. It was Dennis Severs’ intention that as you enter his house it is as if you have passed through the surface of a painting, exploring with your senses and imagination a meticulously crafted 18th Century world.

A Georgian villa in England

I am having some serious heart palpitations over this absolutely breathtaking Georgian villa in Bath, Somerset, England. With many of its original period features maintained, this home with its traditional decor and pastel colour scheme is simply magical. I would of course add a few more modern pieces here and there but there is SO much you could do with a structure this beautiful. And then the views! AHHH!!! Available as a location home via jj Locations.
