Comfortable Country Kitchen
To create this inviting kitchen, the homeowners collaborated with architect Brian Boyle and interior designers Jose Solis Betancourt and Paul Sherrill. The new built-in oak cabinetry received a more mature look via artful distressing with bleach and wire brushing, and was finished with a rub of green and taupe paints. Zinc-wrapped counters fastened with roofing tacks lend additional texture and character. "The more these surfaces get beat up, the better," says Sherrill. "A scratch or a ding becomes part of the history of the house." Its soft, faded palette, gently weathered cabinets, and patina'd tile harmonize with rough-hewn beams and a few antique pieces to create a comfortable, lived-in feel.
Dining with a View
Open and airy with rustic farmhouse details throughout, it's hard to imagine that this kitchen hasn't been in constant use over the last hundred years. The designers worked hard to produce an authentic, informal look, from the antique beams used in the ceiling and shelves to the scratch-coat concrete finish on the walls. Open shelving creates a more expansive feeling while also displaying the homeowners' beautiful dishes. In keeping with the authenticity, an antique oak table, rather than an enclosed center island, serves as the main workstation, and an antique hutch sits in a snug nook in lieu of typical cabinetry. "I think using 'found' objects enhances a room's appeal, while cutting out the hard edge that too much built-in storage can create," explains Paul Sherrill, one of the interior designers.
