Today’s the day that Vinny Lee’s latest interiors book is published. Kitchenalia is about “the things you acquire and accumulate to make your kitchen a useful and enjoyable place to be”. The particular focus is on retro style, and I’m delighted that the book includes lots of my images, including the front cover. 13-58-30a

During the last year or so, I’ve shot kitchens of so many different styles, I thought it would be worth doing a round up on some of the ones that haven’t so far featured on this blog.

This year I’ve shot 3 more of these well crafted, simple, Shaker style kitchens.

 Halstock

This company’s intricate designs feature in houses of all styles. I also visited their factory in Somerset to see a kitchen under construction for architect, Ian Adam-Smith, and then later, fully installed in his home.

Johnny Grey

And finally a kitchen by the inimitable Johnny Grey, whose elaborate designs defiantly never conform to current trends, and each element is an individually crafted piece of furniture.
