- Small kitchens do not bother me, but with a house like this, I am surprised anyone kept it this small. Love the tin ceiling and do LOVE thos cabinets.

Nice exterior color scheme.
Wow that exterior is a work of art. Those people sure did a lot of work just in the painting. If walls could talk.
Yeah,the exterior paint sheme is just about perfect. Looks like they put a lot of thought & money into the interior restoration as well. The only thing I’m not too fond of is that teeny tiny klitchen…and as a rule I usuall don’t mind small kitchens. They say in their blog that this kitchen is original, but I have a hard time believing that a house of this era, which was obviously big enough to accomodate multiple servants. would have had a kitchen smaller than its butler’s pantry. I’m thinking maybe the area where the kitchen is now was originally just a part of a larger kitchen. Sometimes in Victorian houses they did make a separate cooking area, where a big range stood, as well as a scullery area and so on.
Still, the diminutive size of this kitchen probably wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me. Being located in Attleboro is my REAL problem with this house. The people up there all talk funny…and they’re BoSox fans too!
