From Janet:
Those of us lacking an English country house can still capture the manor look with Aga’s Companion Range. At a mere 24 inches wide, the Aga Duel Fuel Companion has four burners, two ovens, and is made of cast-iron swathed in three coats of glossy vitreous enamel. Available in 14 signature colors, it’s $4,725 at Home Everything. Also see 10 Easy Pieces: European-Style Ranges for additional selections.
Below: If you have more space, consider the Cast Iron Duel Fuel Six-Four Series Stove. At $9,195, it has six burners and four ovens. Available at Universal Appliance.
Below: The true Anglophile might want to investigate the Classic Radiant Heat Aga Cooker, which comes at a steep price: $17,000 at Cooking.
Below: Also consider the Aga refrigerator line, such as the drawers shown below in cream; $2,949 at A.J. Madison.

We love clusters of vintage glass bottles; the way they catch and filter light, as in this photo by Anna Gustafsen.
Below: Jeff and Holly Noordsy specialize in early American bottles and glass. We especially like this collection of utility bottles.

Sometimes it’s too easy to forget the classic standbys: director’s chairs used as dining chairs; French ceramic rise and fall pendants; long refectory tables. This casual yet stylish kitchen in the English countryside is easy to copy; with the help of gallons of cream-colored paint (try Pointing from Farrow & Ball).
Below: The Refectory Farmhouse Table in English oak is a reproduction of an antique; with extensions, it can be expanded to 120 inches. $5,900 from Leonards, a family-owned Massachusetts workshop specializing in antique and reproduction furniture (they also recently opened a store in Westport, Connecticut).
Below: Another option: the 96-inch-long Longmont Table; made from rustic reclaimed pine. $1,795 at Sundance.
Below: Exhibitor 18-inch Director’s Chair with hardwood frame and cotton canvas fabric; 18 different fabric colors, four frame colors; on sale for $56.99 at Directors Chair.
Below: The iconic Catuffe Lamps are handmade by brothers François and Frédéric Catuffe in the Tarn region of France and feature antique bronze fittings, braided electrical cording, and porcelain shades available in blue, cream, jade, red, olive, gray, at the French House. Available at Marston & Langinger for $395. In the UK, available at the French House for £169.
