A Spacious and Gracious Kitchen in North Andover
“It is the details that make this kitchen welcoming, handsome, and functional.”
In addition to the dining table, there is seating on antique French stools at the island.
Sigman and Obie, the family's Cavachon, stand on the ebony-stained wood floor. Skylights overhead offer ample natural light.
Sandra Sigman’s house did not come with its current kitchen, not by a long shot. The founder and prime persona behind Les Fleurs in Andover, Massachusetts, Sigman knows design, and the first thing she realized when she and husband Scott, an orthopedic surgeon, were scoping out the North Andover lakefront property they would eventually purchase was the potential to bring a whole lot of luminosity into the less-than-bright-interior. In one of those “trust me” moments, she shared her vision of an open, sun-filled kitchen/dining space.
The table is set with wicker chargers, dried olive branches, and mini-potted ferns.
Close to the stove, a food prep island, one of two, holds one of Sandra Sigman's floral arrangements.
