Being a grade II listed building, the owners knew they would have trouble getting permission for a kitchen extension, so they created a big, bright, vintage-style space out of what they already had.
These mint green cabinets are from Henderson & Redfearn.

Open-plan kitchen diner
Simple Shaker-style cabinetry and open shelving are bought to life with a vintage-inspired colour scheme. Pale green cabinets are accented with dark-wood worktops, and pretty pink accessories finish off the look.
Source stone flooring at Marshall Bull. For similar paint colours head to Farrow & Ball.
Dining table
A softer look was created by painting the dining table and chairs white. Pretty accessories and a glass chandelier keep the dining area looking stylish as well as functional.
For an oilcloth like this floral one, look at Cath Kidston, and for similar spindle dining chairs go to John Lewis. This ornate mirror is from Simply Living.
Range cooker
A country kitchen isn't complete without a range cooker - the owners chose one with a fuss-free splashback to introduce a modern touch.
This sleek cooker and cooker hood were both sourced from Henderson & Redfearn.
Storage jars
The owners avoided bulky cabinetry, and chose open shelving around the room, for a lighter, looser look. Floating shelves like these also provide the perfect opportunity to display pretty, tableware and eclectic storage jars.
For glass jars like this, head to IKEA, and for kitchen tins, go to Emma Bridgewater.
Pantry cupboard
The joy of having a bespoke kitchen fitted meant the owners could choose storage that suited their needs. This large larder provides the perfect space for storing away ingredients, keeping the kitchen worktops clear, and adding to the vintage-inspired theme.
This bespoke larder, was designed and fitted by Henderson & Redfearn.
