An organized family kitchen
By Frances Schultz of House Beautiful
French range
A dedicated cook and La Cornue enthusiast from way back, Nicole Hough finally got her dream range when she renovated her kitchen. She chose a CornuFé Albertine and paired it with a Contemporary round-duct hood from Vent-A-Hood. The backsplash tiles are from Subway Ceramics.

An organized family kitchen
Spacious kitchen
The island is topped with Calacatta gold marble and trimmed with brass corner guards for steamer trunks, from Brettuns Village Trunk Shop. Its metal tubular legs are fitted with parts from Brass Finders. Footed cabinets by Wood-Mode reflect the period of the 1905 house.
The black countertops are made of two slabs of soapstone with a double ogee edge. Hough designed the herringbone pattern of the floor, which is quartersawn oak.

Farmhouse sink
Hansgrohe's Axor Citterio Semi-Pro faucet swivels over a farmhouse sink. Open shelves are marble with steel brackets. "A splurge," Hough says, "but so pretty and sturdy enough to hold a lot."
