6. Less can be more when it comes to curtains. If privacy's not an issue, and your windows look this good, think about skipping drapes and blinds altogether. "The redwood was too gorgeous to cover up," Carla says. "Besides, Chris and I live like farmers — the sun dictates our schedules."
7. Consider a different kind of country countertop. The Malloys' kitchen incorporates what some may view as a modern statement: steel counters. Carla, however, sees the material another way. "It reminds me of farm tools, like galvanized buckets," she explains.
8. Handsome islands don't have to cost a fortune. Carla came across this early-1900s Mexican desk — $350 at an antiques shop — and saw an opportunity for a one-of-a-kind workstation. To make the piece even more functional, she improvised a lower shelf by propping basic wood planks atop the stretchers. Though Carla's happy with the island's 32-inch height, it's a cinch to elevate a table with casters.
Clever Storage
9. Take advantage of vertical space. It would've been a shame to waste the kitchen's closet on buckets and a broom. So, Carla transformed the area into a pantry with six-foot-tall pine shelving units that also maximize corners. Come spring, the shelves fill up with preserves for Carla's farmstand, including her favorite: pear-vanilla bean jam. (Shelving units, $199.95; williams-sonoma.com)
