Yes : )

That daybed would be my location of choice. I love the whole kitchen pictured. In my last house, I had a comfortable loveseat and coffee table in the eat-in nook which was really too small for a dining table.

Schoolhouse_gw, I can see where accessing the cabinet would be a hassle, but what a cute spot you carved out.

Made even better...

I love how the kitchen does not dominate the space. There is an open kitchen, that clearly communicates with the rest of the room, but does not dominate it with acres of counters and shiny appliances. The kitchen serves the room, not the other way around.

I've never not liked anything Bunny Williams did! I think the idea of a bookcase on the back of a small island is brilliant. Perfect place for cookbooks! BTW, her husband, John Rosselli, does all the cooking. Bunny sets the fabulous tables from her extensive collection of china.

Her kitchen/keeping room looks so livable. I like it.

When I was in the village of Chipping Campden, Cotswolds, UK this summer, my friend's friend invited us over for drinks. Swoon! 1700s, but so livable, and I loved all the quirkiness. Her husband is an artist and had a fabulous little art studio in the back garden. It was paradise. For their privacy, I didn't take photos as they live on High Street (like a main street). Bunny's kitchen reminds me of that cottage.

I love this.

dyh, I visited Chipping Camden in 1972 and have never forgotten it.

Linelle -- I think I got the date wrong. I think their house was 1500s! Loved Chipping and visiting Hidcote Gardens, Kiftsgate Gardens, Sudbury, Blenheim, Bourton.

We lived one spring in a village halfway between chipping Norton and Stratford On Avon. It was an 1800s row house. Loved it! I adore the Cotswolds.

I do not see a kitchen there.

Far be it for me to criticize any of Bunny William’s choices, but there are not nearly enough cabinets in her kitchen. She must have a major storage area off to the side somewhere where she keeps the rest of the things a cook usually uses frequently.

Kitchens were so much cuter before they had to be designed

Lovely! That bay window seating area is to die for :)

We collected an ebay purchase from a couple in Chipping Campden a few years back. Their house - also on the High Street - was very similarly characterful and welcoming. Agree that the Cotswolds are stunning!

Ryan - so true!!!!! I love Bunny's husband's kitchen!

The best food comes out of the smallest kitchens. Go to Italy, those people cook in broom closets

Bunny's husband is indeed Italian, so there you have th mystery of the diminutive kitchen solved!

I’m guessing based on the house tour that there’s probably a very nice pantry. Gorgeous room...the windows are tdf

<John will come in with tomatoes from the garden and make the most delicious spaghetti with tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and a salad and an apple or a peach tart, and that’s dinner, and that takes two hours.” >

I can assure you that in Connecticut, there were only be a few weeks of the year that one can go into one's garden for tomatoes. I have tomatoes in my garden in the winter (when I plant them), but I'm not in Connecticut. I still have not seen a refrigerator in the house. It's extremely misleading to suggest that John gets his food from his garden - unless he does extensive canning. Or perhaps that house is only used when tomatoes are in season.

A tiny kitchen is okay for a week-end house or for a dense urban environment where there are markets on every street corner so that you can shop for food every day, as I used to do when I had a tiny kitchen in San Francisco. Today, the nearest market to my house is a mile away, and so I shop weekly instead of daily, more or less. Italians generally shop every day, and therefore they can manage with small kitchens. I prefer the European style, but I currently do not live in Italy, although I would like to.

Dish/accessories pantry

My dream....

From Bunny's book, "An Affair with a House":

Another view of the kitchen, including the fridge,

One of the sections in the book is devoted to their greenhouse, another to the chicken pavilion, and there is an entire chapter on the conservatory : ) .

Thanks for the pantries pics, chijim. If I recall correctly from the book, BW has three different pantries for dining room things. And then a separate shelving area in the laundry room for vases.

Always love BW's rooms, and Schoolhouse's too!

One must always find a space for their cachepot, urn. pitcher, tulipiere and vase collections ;-)

Now this is how you entertain in your barn

Personally, I think it's just too much stuff. And I like stuff!
