Yellow and white brocade-pattern wallpaper, used like paint, covers the walls and becomes an accent feature behind the open glassware storage shelves with Victorian bracket unit next to the pro-style range. The shelves have no back, which lets the wallpaper color shine through. Butter-yellow cabinets work as well as white for this cottage-kissed look. The farm sink has a chunky lip, countertops are granite. The English-style island is open at the bottom and painted a crisp white to match the sink, with yellow detailing. There are pendant lights with woven paper shades over the island. Betsy Speert is the designer. (Source: Traditional Home 11/04)
