Vintage Shaker Kitchen Space Nestled in a Mill of 1000 Years Old Age
Transforming a Derelict Classroom into a Charming Summer Cottage Kitchen
In a remarkable renovation, a once derelict classroom has been beautifully transformed into a stunning summer cottage kitchen, credited to deVOL Kitchens. This charming shaker-style Swedish country kitchen, now part of the deVOL Kitchens archive, showcases a blend of classic cottage charm with modern, high-quality finishes.
The kitchen's walls are painted Mushroom by deVOL, a muted and earthy tone that reflects the timeless cottage aesthetic combined with modern craftsmanship. The worktops on the island are Helix Silestone, providing a durable, sleek surface that complements the rustic yet refined cottage kitchen. The worktops on the sink run and the sink run itself are Lagoon Silestone, creating a cohesive and harmonious design.
The kitchen features deVOL's painted shaker knobs and ceramic cup handles, adding authentic cottage character. The taps in the kitchen, as well as in the summer cottage kitchen, are 'Ionian' deck mounted taps crosshead handles by Perrin & Rowe, with a chrome finish, enhancing the vintage yet sophisticated vibe.
A key element of this kitchen design is the Smeg 100cm 'Opera' dual cavity cooker in stainless steel, which adds a modern touch and functionality that suits a busy summer kitchen.
The design is further enriched by vintage-inspired details such as glass-front cabinetry, beadboard walls, fabric curtains, and curated vintage objets. Artisanal and handmade tile backsplashes, including Zellige or white cement tiles, complement the painted cabinetry and provide a textural, earthy backdrop typical of cottage kitchens. Wood accents and open shelving styled with vintage or handmade pottery, copper pots, and wooden bowls add warmth and personality while maintaining usability.
This combination creates an inviting, functional summer cottage kitchen that feels both modern and comfortably lived-in. Kitchens similar to this one emphasize hand-painted shaker cabinetry with vintage hardware, soft-colored quartz surfaces, heritage-style professional appliances, and classic polish fixtures, all enriched by textural artisan tiles and nostalgic decorative touches.
It's worth noting that this kitchen does not seem to have any specific association with the Cotes Mill Shaker Showroom. However, the kitchen renovation is a testament to deVOL Kitchens' expertise in creating beautiful, functional kitchen spaces that blend traditional charm with modern elegance.
