Stoned Age: part 2
Jan 21, 2013
Built in 1851, Holly's solid stone farmhouse was made to stand the tests of time. The kitchen, however appeared to be pre-historic, or ... whatever era it was that three-foot-tall people typically roamed the earth. Seriously, look at that low-flying chandelier and those tiny door frames! It's like a fun house, minus the fun.
That was before Holly moved in and pulled the kitchen into the present day. She's added every modern convenience you could dream of and lost none of the charm. She even reused the beams for the islands supports. I'm totally planning to move to rural New Jersey and restore an ancient farmhouse now, who's with me?!
Check out more on her blog Old Stone Walls.
And now, the panorama:

This is so beautiful!!! My grandparents' century + house was recently redone by the new owners, and they took all of the charm out of it. I'm so glad these folks know the value of having an old home with character!
Howdy! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web site before but after browsing through some of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back frequently!
Now this I love. Very charming and it was ingenious to reuse those beams, which might be my favorite part of the room. Really well done.
your narratives are quite funny you know!
Love the stone! But I'm crazy about those beams! Well done!

I love love love this kitchen! I don't have the room for it in my small house, but I love all the elements, and I love the FEEL of it. Very very well done.
That is beautiful! I love it.
This is absolutely gorgeous - that stone wall is the perfect touch!
This is beautiful! I don't usually like wood kitchen cabinets because they are always too orange, too yellow, or too dark. These are the perfect wood tone and I love the look! Great makeover.
