Christopher Peacock's Own Kitchen(4)

Tucked in a bay window near the hutch is a Saarinen pedestal table from Knoll (a nod to modern design) that provides more seating for quick family meals or a leisurely glass of wine. "Jayne and I can sit down after the kids are fed, share a glass of wine, and catch up on our days," says Christopher.

Roman shades made with a coral-and-white Lee Jofa fabric and edged with white tassels bring color and personality to the space (leejofa.com). The warm finish of the plywood Eames chairs from Herman Miller accents the wood floor and the coral-patterned fabric (hermanmiller.com).
