Join us for a tour of the Catskills kitchen of furniture designer Brian Persico and his wife and frequent collaborator, textile artist Hannah Haworth. Recently we saw on Instagram that Brian and Hannah gave the previously neutral kitchen a dark wash of paint, a more forgiving option in a house of dogs and kids. Join us for a look—and a report on how the new palette’s holding up.
“We had painted the kitchen white when we finished building the cabinets, and now after living in it a while we’re starting to go for more color,” Hannah says.
The couple painted the cabinetry (made by Brian) in green Ottosson linseed oil paint, which creates a color-blocked effect with the existing cobalt Aga stove.
Time-worn pots hang above the soapstone farmhouse sink.
The counters, too, are soapstone, with a built-in drainboard on one side.
