Cottage Renovation, Orleans, MA

Architect: M. Bernadett-Peters

This cottage renovation in Orleans was built by Cape Associates in collaboration with architect M. Bernadett-Peters. The kitchen is the room most fully shown in the photos, and it is a bright one.

A vaulted white ceiling with exposed wood beams and glass pendants sits above a long island with a pale stone-look counter and upholstered stools. White cabinets, some with glass fronts, line the walls.

• Gray-green glass tile backsplash set into white subway tile
• Stainless range, wall oven and built-in microwave
• Under-counter beverage refrigerator beside the sink window
• Knotty plank door and hardwood floors

The bathrooms bring in a clawfoot tub against beadboard, a tiled shower with a handheld sprayer, and an oak-framed mirror over a small vanity. A decorative wall clock, teal glassware visible behind cabinet glass and warm wood accents keep the kitchen light and lived in.
