David T. Smith achieves his signature hierloom look by mixing paint finishes,
stained wood finishes, and architectural details, including rattail hinges on the cream-colored poplar cabinets and brass cast knobs on the curly maple ones above the stove. Tying the "collected kitchen" together with the rest of the house are the island's Windsor-style stools, which resemble dining room chairs.
Get The Look:
To achieve the historically inspired "collected style" in a country kitchen, David T. Smith offers these tips:
1. FINISHES are often the most important part of achieving an antique appearance. Fabricated nicks and scratches, along with layers of different colors of paint, make the furnishings look gently used and aged.
2. DEPTHS and heights should vary per piece, adding personality to a room by making it appear as if each item were acquired individually.
3. HARDWARE that does not match, such as the 18th-century wooden knobs on the island and the brass cast knobs on the cupboard, completes the collected look by drawing attention to the unique aspects of each cabinet.
Cabinetry
This curly maple cabinet extends slightly outward from the cream-colored poplar one to its right; making them appear to be two different pieces.
Ali's dream of having "a big farmhouse sink" was fulfilled by this generously sized limestone one, which complements the surrounding wood cabinetry with its soft, natural color.
This cupboard, inspired by an original Shaker design, can store appliances behind its doors. "To not take away from the antiquity, it's important to hide as much technology as you can," Ali suggests.
