The kitchen/family room – more living room than kitchen with its fireplace, French daybed and “Louis something” chairs – is what Kris likes best in their house. “it is so open and easy to socialize,” she said. “no matter what the occasion, all guests seem to congregate in the kitchen. with that in mind, we tried to design a central island where we could cook and socialize at the same time. if our guests want to help, that is even better.” The buttercream “furniture” island has a striated leaf green granite top and farm sink. walls in the common areas are painted muted shades of green, floors are hand-hewn walnut with an oiled finish. They’re perfect foils for the furnishings. The dining room features a 17th-century italian credenza and Jacobean oak banquet chairs (estate sale finds), a 1920s Kurdish rug (Goodwill) and six Abraham Munting hand-colored copper engravings, circa 1696 (nantucket antique show).
