Elham - aka my mother - is the Martha Stewart of our family. She spends most of her life in the kitchen and was long overdue for a renovation and extension: she was running out of storage space and counter space, and her old kitchen wasn’t suited to her gardening, baking, and hosting lifestyle. With maximum storage cabinets, a massive island with a dining table extension, and large windows overlooking the garden, her kitchen finally makes sense. The choice of cream cabinets and brass hardware allows the kitchen to calmly serve its purpose while the garden takes center stage.
