Purple Cabinet Kitchen

February 20, 2009 by Jane F 1 Comment

Not long ago, finding a room painted purple in a house was one of those “what were they thinking?” moments. Now here is a purple cabinet kitchen! Often purple décor was a remnant (sometimes hidden behind wallpaper) of the psychedelic ’60s, the last time violet (as the hue is properly named) was seen extensively.

Even more rare is purple used as part of a very sophisticated scheme including drab vanilla walls which are similar to Pratt and Lambert’s Waxen Yellow.

This kitchen reminds me of a European country cottage, albeit one updated modestly to include stone counters with a nice piece left over for a matching table top. While it may lack cabinetry detail, tile or whizzy appliances, it has plenty of zip and charm and we love the old-fashioned details left: window “ventilation” for the range, a vintage wall-mounted sink faucet and even the exposed water tank.
