A British cooker plus pierced wood-door cabinets heaps on the old-school charm
Bright blue walls give a lively punch to this large kitchen in Scotland. While the walls and base of the large island are painted blue, a cream-colored Aga cooker is built into an imposing niche lined with yellow-gold mosaic tile. Counters throughout are polished black granite. The island houses a prep sink and also provides seating on one side.
Throughout the kitchen, cabinets are white with a pierced medallion on the doors — a great detail plus and a practical way to let air to circulate. A tongue-and-groove backsplash is painted white to match the cabinets. Kitchen doors have divided glass on top, to match doors on some upper cabinets. The main sink — a double-bowl farmer — sits in front of a window with a wood-tone drip rail beneath it (a bespoke kitchen detail). Dark cabinet hardware echoes the color of the counters.

The Blue Rooster Kitchen also has cabinets with pierced doors.
love the kitchen … do you remember what color blue? brand?.. having the darndest time finding a color I can live with… lol.. thanks..
Hi Cyndi,
I don’t have the exact paint color but it’s likely Farrow & Ball Lulworth Blue or Cook’s Blue. Skylight is much paler and another good color which I used in a bedroom.

I had a heck of a time with blue as well — I needed it for my living room. Wound up using Ellen Kennon’s Seaglass, which isn’t too green or too purple or too sweet. It’s just a nice soft Swedish blue (it doesn’t look anything like the color on her website unfortunately). You might see if one of those works for you.
