A Bright Kitchen for a 1763 Home in Weston, CT

Set inside a Weston home built in 1763, this kitchen balances the character of a restored property with the practical needs of daily use. The house and barn sit beside the river, with wooded views that shape the room’s calm, natural setting.

Painted shaker cabinetry and honed natural granite ground the design in traditional materials. White enamel finishes, a pale brick-and-shiplap backsplash, and the white beamed ceiling keep the room bright. A farm sink, full-height pantry cabinetry, and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances bring contemporary storage and function into the historic shell.

An island with open shelving and a window-lined breakfast nook make the kitchen feel lived-in and connected to the landscape.
