Explore the rich heritage Old Europe has offered for designers of
today's high-end kitchens. Enjoy rooms replete with details carefully
drawn from stately homes in the Mediterranean hill towns of Provence and
Tuscany, the Moorish influences of Spanish Haciendas, the elegance and
extravagances of Parisian apartments, and the time-honored traditions of
panelled estates of Britain. The appliances may be professional grade
stainless steel, yet the hand-carved wooden corbels, wrought-iron
fixtures, and the stone-cobbled floors evoke a heritage hundreds of
years in the making. This luscious collection of nearly 200 images takes
designers and homeowners on an inspiring tour of over 100 kitchens that
will inspire your journey to import the old world's long-lasting charms
and elegance into your own home.
