The Crown Jewel of the Forge House Kitchen: ILVE Nostalgie II in Emerald Green & Copper Trim
Where Craftsmanship Meets Character
Some kitchens are designed.
Others are composed: layered with intention, history, and soul.
At the Forge House, Tyler Boulden didn’t just renovate the kitchen, he built a story. And at the center of it all sits the unmistakable focal point: the ILVE Nostalgie II 30” Dual Fuel Range in Emerald Green with Copper trim.
This isn’t just a range.
It’s the anchor. The mood-setter. The piece that quietly commands everything around it.
Designed Around a Statement
Tyler said it best: “We designed the entire space around this emerald green range with copper accents… it was always meant to be the statement piece.”
And it shows.
From the warm wood cabinetry to the textured tile backsplash and hammered copper hood, every material in the Forge House kitchen plays in harmony with the range. The green enamel brings depth. The copper introduces warmth. The result? A kitchen that feels both historic and alive.
This is what happens when a range isn’t treated like an appliance, but like architecture.
Why the Nostalgie II Was the Perfect Fit
The Forge House aesthetic leans into old-world charm, natural materials, patina, and timeless textures. The Nostalgie II fits that vision seamlessly while delivering modern performance behind its classic façade.

A Color That Changes Everything
Let’s talk about that green.
Not loud. Not trendy. Not fleeting.
Emerald Green with Copper is rich, grounded, and deeply intentional. It evokes heritage kitchens, European countryside homes, and curated interiors that don’t chase trends, they outlive them.
Paired with copper hardware, the effect is magnetic. Light hits the knobs, the trim, the hood, and suddenly the kitchen feels alive.
More Than Beautiful. It’s Lived In.
What makes this partnership hit isn’t just the design, it’s the authenticity.
Tyler already had an ILVE range in his main home. This wasn’t a one-off install for content. It was a deliberate choice to bring the same performance, reliability, and daily experience into the Forge House.
That matters.
Because the best kitchens aren’t just photographed, they’re used.
The New Luxury: Personal, Not Perfect
The Future of Luxury Kitchens
The Forge House kitchen reflects a larger shift happening in design:
- Away from sterile, all-white minimalism
- Toward warmth, texture, and individuality
- Toward kitchens that feel collected, not manufactured
And at the center of that movement?
Pieces like this.
A range that doesn’t disappear into the background but defines the space.
Final Thought
You don’t choose a range like this because you need something to cook on.
You choose it because you’re building something bigger, a space with identity, permanence, and presence.
At the Forge House, the ILVE Nostalgie II isn’t just part of the kitchen.
It is the kitchen.
