Best High-Country Kitchens: Colorado Farmhouse
The Setting: Just outside Wolcott, Colorado
The Ingredients: Matching the rugged beauty of a 1,200-acre private fly-fishing retreat with a cozy kitchen worthy of some hungry outdoor appetites could have been a daunting design challenge. But not for the indomitable mother-daughter interior design duo of Ashley Campbell and Gail Mahoney, who created a bright, clean style they describe as “mountain farmhouse, with lots of color.” The cheerful kitchen basks in natural light. Campbell and Mahoney worked with professional painters to create the walls’ aged, whitewashed look and they played up the custom copper hood’s burnished hue with a complementary Lee Jofa fabric on the comfy island stools. A handy adjacent butler’s pantry offers useful storage space and an extra farmhouse sink. If you look very carefully, you can even spot a whimsical trout motif carved into the millwork beneath the upper cabinets.
The Result: To see more of this gorgeous Colorado retreat, step inside.
