24 SUMMER 2018 H OMEOWNERS WHO LOVE OLD WOOD KNOW the treasures that even the most battered old planks hold: the lasting beauty of the past that, in the right setting, shines a special aura on everything around it. Jane Flanagan of Boxford knows the appeal of wood's natural character. When she and her husband, Ed, decided it was time for a new kitchen, they found kindred spirits in interior designer Holly Gagne and cabinetmakers Jewett Farms + Co., makers of fine cabinetry.
