A while back we featured a house on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Australia, from architects O’Connor and Houle. Here, we’ve re-created the look with some of the kitchen’s key elements and a list of quirky, colorful accessories.

Open shelving displays an eclectic mix of tableware. See the entire house in our post Slow House: A Serene Cabin in the Woods.
Shelving on every surface: Collections of wooden novelties and a Japanese-style broom are set onto the wall’s narrow shelving.
