Even before designer Rozanne Jackson and her husband,
architect Glen Oxford, began drawing plans for an addition to their
1912 Arts and Crafts house in Nashville, they found the perfect table: a
17-foot-long, late 1800s, L-shaped oak table that once held bolts of fabric
in a textile factory in France. "We loved that table so much, we
designed the kitchen around it," she says. It serves as the
cornerstone for the couple's vision of marrying old and new, with
antique furnishings set against industrial appliances and sleek, modern
cabinetry.
| WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS KITCHEN |
| · High ceilings and open, uncluttered space. |
| · Abundant natural light, access to the outdoors, and the view. |
| · It's spare and elegant but nevertheless inviting. |
| · French doors and floor-to-ceiling windows that add architectural distinction. |
| · Industrial appliances and European sophistication meld with old-world antiques and artisan touches. |
| · Muted blue cabinetry that adds a gentle wash of color. |
| · The long, L-shaped table, which serves not only as a natural gathering place but also as a subtle barrier to keep guests out of the workspace. |
