Given today’s penchant for gathering in the kitchen, Powell designed a generous working pantry for tucking away all the small appliances and kitchen accouterments. She also created a designated china room to house the homeowners’ tableware collections. “The clean lines of the kitchen and the hidden storage and pantries allow it to serve as both a family area and a sleek entertaining space,” says Powell. Serving nooks between the breakfast room and the outdoor patio contain built-in refrigerator drawers and an icemaker to make an impromptu bar for parties.
The architect took another page from Downton Abbey when planning the transitions between rooms. A barreled-ceiling hallway and chamfered openings create engaging moments that set the tone for the space ahead. These special transitions also give the home instant character in keeping with its incarnation as a Tudor. In addition, graceful millwork and whitewashed beams lend age to the new house. “I especially love the cantilevered windows,” says Powell. “I call them jewel boxes because that is what they remind me of from the inside. And I like how they flood the rooms with natural light.”
Hi, I am trying to find the colors of the exterior of this home. Powell says that they are sourced in this article. Can you help me? I will gladly pay for a copy, I just love your Magizine and especially this article.
Thanks

Me too! Love these colors!
Been searching for hours to find the paint code for the dark gray….anyone?
Hello, we are painting our exterior and I love these colors. Does anyone know what they are? I realize the article is quite old!
Looking for the house plans for this home. Is there a link to the designers sight?
I love the host chairs that bright cobalt blue is beautiful! I like how it anchors the light colors in the room.
