An Irish Kitchen is Just What We Need!

By: Vicki Martin
A wall mounted cabinet, similar to a china cabinet.
This needs to be hung on a specially reinforced wall.
This piece is approx. 6' tall.
You may have heard that Camille and I were in Ireland last week, courtesy of HunterDouglas. What a wonderful place. So pretty, and the nicest people you could ever meet. While in Adare, we ran across an incredible kitchen cabinet store. Most Irish kitchens are small and basic, but this stuff was anything but! A young Italian/Spanish man and his family own and operate it. They had some of the coolest things we'd seen in a while so we thought we would share some photos with you. Loved the stainless steel door fronts, and the pewter counter tops. Very high end line called Marchi Cucine. See it at www.floriosfurnitureshop.com
You can drool along with us!

Diego Florio explains the cabinetry to Camille.
We loved this piece because it was such a cool combination of traditional and contemporary styles.

The counter top in the picture above is pewter.
The cabinets are made of oak, we thought it was interesting that oak may be making a big return - at least in Europe. 
We love the detail on this stove, which is actually a piece that is available stateside.
