Sugar and Spice
Annette’s collection of whimsical MacKenzie-Childs dinnerware, cookie canisters, and serving pieces sparked the kitchen design. Two islands painted a kiwi green repeat hues in the dishes and also those in the fabric window treatment. Walls in the kitchen and the adjoining breakfast room are painted with wide stripes in a soft shade of green.
Kasler incorporated MacKenzie-Childs tiles into a backsplash above the range and interspersed them with off-white tiles on the counter backsplash. Although the tiles add splashes of color, Kasler purposely limited their use. “I wanted to make the kitchen timeless, so it wouldn’t get dated,” she says.
