English Tudor style was used to refurbish another of the Summit kitchens in a house built in the 1920s. Entry to the kitchen is through a cozy breakfast room that features a large stone fireplace. The blue and white Meissen collection of plates adds a rich display of color. The round walnut kitchen table seats eight, and the chairs repeat a gothic arch motif of the period. At its center is a large work island that also serves as a gathering point for the family, including its five children.
All countertops are a soft beige granite, tinged with several shades of green .
Light comes from the room's many windows, including a pair of stained glass windows and one that illuminates the sink area. Additional storage for the beautifully appointed kitchen is found in the pantry, entered through French doors taken from the owner's mother's home. Another unique touch is the chicken wire-fronted cabinets found at one end of the kitchen where the computer and home office are located. The last house on the tour is a Louisiana colonial with Doric columns set in the rolling hills of Short Hills. The kitchen, off the end of the home's long foyer, has a formal tone, with rich mahogany-stained cherry wood cabinets and dark green granite counters.
