Rustic Farmhouse Was Built

Rustic Farmhouse Was Built
Owning Old World Antieks, one of the country's largest antique shops, Amy and Brian Kleinwachter have unloaded around 400 containers of vintage finds in their 20 years of scouring the globe. "Worn and worn rustic elegance - nice things that are not" stuffy "is our specialty," says Brian. When the La Grange couple wanted to extend a two-hundred-square-foot, two-bedroom farmhouse home from business, it was not hard to formulate a vision - a patina that had priority over everyone else.

The new footprint, which includes a large open living space, a large master suite and a watchtower over a spiral staircase, is full of finds from home and abroad. And although the room is rich in second hand scores, not everything has been there. "There were definitely many first successes in the building of this house," says Brian.

Brian was on his way to work when he spotted a man filling a pile of sheet metal at the local recycling center. "It had the most beautiful gray-silver color on the top," he says. "We used it all over the house for the ceiling."

Brian searched high and low for the same old pine trees that resembled the original pine floors. To bring the remains together, he worked with an orbital sander before completing it with a clear wax coat.

The Kleinwetter's 9-meter freestanding cabinet, discovered by a Picker friend in Iowa, formerly served as a retail outlet. Son Blake, however, is more concerned with swing, which is adorned with the lyrics: "And I imagine, what a wonderful world."

Brian and Amy have redefined the term "barn lights" with the found devices. Old hay wagons hang in the kitchen, and in the dining room, the couple combined an antique European chandelier and an old pork plug for the ultimate in high-end sowing.

An original violin maker and repair sign - a purchase that prompted the tailstock - adds a typographic punch to the underlying industrial mirror. The desk belonged to a Parisian watchmaker.

Even tiny Terriermixer Oakley stored in a kennel of old wood and an old dormer window from Egypt.

Brian added interior lighting to an ad from a local Baptist church. Now, some of the family's vintage guitars are highlighted in the master bedroom.

Ways To Wallpaper Your Kitchen

Ways To Wallpaper Your Kitchen
If you think wallpapers and kitchens do not really fit together, you definitely have not seen any of the spaces on this list. Whether you limit it to your backsplash, the bar or the breakfast nook, or cover every single wall, wallpapers are a cost-effective way to add a ton of bold colors and patterns to your kitchen. We have put together some ideas to help your creativity flow.

Make your home bar even more luxurious with a bold colored wallpaper behind it. With this blue palm print we feel like on a tropical vacation.

Get a marble kitchen without a full Reno (or strain on your bank account) thanks to a very convincing (and super gorg) wallpaper.

From a distance, it looks like a funny geometric pattern, but close up you can see botanical details.

Decorate your backsplash and your walls if you're not afraid to get brave. To make it even more fun, give your kitchen a theme (like cats in this case) to connect your wallpaper to the rest of the room.

Never dream of a beach vacation. To underline the pink in the wallpaper, choose brass accents.

If life gives you lemons, paper your kitchen.

Keep your kitchen walls clear and paper your breakfast nook so the two rooms feel more separated. It also helps to warm it up and makes it more comfortable.

Perfect for a country-style or country-style kitchen. So that it does not look too feminine, you should keep your decor rustic and choose wood, stainless steel and green.

If the color scares you, try a black and white wallpaper. This one has a cool, industrial feel.

Kitchen Trends 2019

Kitchen Trends 2019
New year, new kitchen trends. While minimalism and rose gold household appliances were great for 2018, the New Year brings a few different ideas to your kitchen. If you're planning a kitchen rally or just want to make sure you stay up to date, you need to know what designers are doing for 2019. We talked to downtown Los Angeles designer Natalie Meyers Get the Deets on what's going to be the rage.

Get a bit rustic in the New Year and consider using more stone. According to Meyers, "People fall in love with the abstract canvases painted by Mother Nature and use natural stone beyond the countertops, and designers continue the stone material to the waterfall edges and high backsplashes." Sometimes they carry the stone up to the ceiling, and you can even make drawer fronts and covers for the bonnet made of natural stone.

Consider adding beadboard accents to the fronts of the drawers, vents, or island fronts. They are "a striking way to add a subtle texture to a kitchen," says Meyers.

If you have not yet bought the dull black KitchenAid, it's time. "Matt black fixtures and hardware are becoming increasingly popular," says Meyers. "What used to be a minimal and blatant choice in all modern white kitchens is now a fun way to subtly contrast wood cabinets and more traditional shaker-style kitchens."

Mixing two different case colors sounds scary, but it looks serious. "To see wood cabinets in combination with painted cabinets - whether upper or lower bed, decide on one thing," says Meyers.

Portland Project Kitchen

Portland Project Kitchen
Are you ready to see the most beautiful oven you have ever seen in your life? As always Because it exists, we found it and no surprise - it's a project by Emily Henderson. If you've been following the small peaks of their new Portland project, you know it's really good, but the kitchen must be the best ever.

There's literally nothing Emily Henderson does not like, which we do not like, but she surpasses herself this time with such a hot stove, it's NSFW. We told you last month that the designer worked with her brother to renovate a house he and his wife bought in Portland, Oregon (a $ 850,000 flip-flop, BTW). It's finally finished on the property and we get a look in every room.

But this kitchen. Let's talk about this kitchen. First, there is the color palette. Green is a bold choice in a kitchen, but if anyone can do it, it's Henderson. "In a way, it was an excrement process: I painted many kitchens blue, gray is saddening in Oregon, and a bright, warm tone is out of the question for something you want to sell - like pink, red, orange, etc. - like that it really turned green or white, "Emily explained. "I wanted to draw your eye into the room, which makes a dark tone." (Spoiler: She went with Pewter Green from Sherwin Williams).

Then we have the details. We'll never love you, the geometric lighting in black and gold is super sexy, there are brass fittings and an island that serves as a dining area, with industrial-style chairs. The overall aesthetic is, as Henderson calls it, the "perfect blend of classic + modern, cheerful + sophisticated, contemporary + timeless with enough special moments that lead from standard to particular". She has even added an extra swoon factor, thanks to marble on the countertops and the island. "I know that marble is a lifestyle choice, but I'll do it again and again," says Henderson. Amen.

However, the obvious focus of this kitchen is the oven. From the Bertazzoni Heritage series, it is incredibly wide at 48 inches, has six gas burners and an electric grill plate and is black with chrome. Although it has a hood, Henderson cleverly hid it in the closet.

Kitchen Cabinet Color Combinations

Kitchen Cabinet Color Combinations
Choosing a kitchen cabinet color is hard enough, but choosing two colors to complement each other is downright scary. Do you want to be brave? Do you keep it neutral? Do something trendy? Or do you stick to a timeless color scheme? The options are endless, but we have some suggestions to help you narrow it down. Get ready to mix things up.

This color combination is for anyone who really wants a completely white kitchen, but does not know how easy it feels. This still feels light and airy, but it has a little extra that adds depth to the room.

Bring blue and white to the next level with a vibrant cobalt burst. It makes a statement, but still feels classic.

Do you want to use wood in your kitchen, but do you fear that wood on wood is too rustic? Combine it with sleek lines and glass showcases.

If blue and white seem too coy, you choose navy. The richer sound continues in a kitchen and brass fittings make it look amazing.

Here's the final proof that green can work in the kitchen. And we are not talking about the legendary trend of the late 90s. It's unexpectedly safe, but once you have tried it, you want to spend every minute in this room.

Grayscale can reduce the contrast between black and white. It's also a great addition to stainless steel in a kitchen.

If the contrast between white and blue is too strong, choose gray. The cool tones create a mature, relaxing place where you can fortify yourself.

Neutral to neutral. This combination will warm up a kitchen, but it's still timeless enough that you will not manage to paint over it in a year.

Combine bright upper cabinets with a darker base to make the room light and spacious. Pro Tip: Add glass doors and it feels even more open.

Modern Cabinet Ideas Kitchen

Modern Cabinet Ideas Kitchen
If you have a modern kitchen, modern cabinets are an obvious choice - but the two do not have to go hand in hand. Sleek, streamlined cabinets make a farmhouse, coastal or traditional kitchen look fresher. You can be as glamorous (day-high glossy), minimalist or colorful as you want - or you can throw it back into the middle of the century. Whatever your aesthetic, you will find Inspo on this list.

The only thing sexier than a modern kitchen is a black modern kitchen. Avoid contrasting hardware and get a black-and-black look for an optimized look.

These simple wooden cabinets in contrast to white worktops are what make up the modern dreams of the middle of the century. A warmer wood tone helps the room feel brighter and more inviting.

Is there something more modern than paint? Brilliant white cabinets need a matching lacquer parasol table.

Ceiling-height cabinets with no visible wall surfaces create a streamlined feel. Choose a gentle, soothing color that will not overwhelm your room.

We are obsessed with this texture game. Combine a marble island with light wood cabinets - it's a bit glamorous, a bit rustic and a perfect modern mashup.

If your jam is dark and sexy, but black is too daunting for your kitchen, try navy blue. Avoid using hardware to make your cabinets look simpler and sleeker.

A proof that white kitchens do not have to be clearly female. Keep your cabinets minimal, with no heavy or cumbersome hardware, for a cool, laid-back feel.

Keep everything white and sparse, then add a splash of color to your lower cabinets. We envy these jewel-colored greens hard.

Using more than one decorating style in your kitchen is a fair game. Modern white cabinets with brass fittings can help make a coastal or country house style feel more contemporary.

Chic Kitchen Backsplashes

Chic Kitchen Backsplashes
Upcycled bricks get a new life as a glazed backsplash in our 10-year-old Beautiful Kitchen of the Year. The dark hue pays homage to one of the key ingredients of cooking: black pepper.

Just when you thought you had seen everything a blue and white kitchen could do, we gave you Moorish tiles.

We did not even plan a kitchen race, but now we are. This backsplash is limited to the area just above the area, which makes it almost like a work of art.

Marble can be as stylish or industrially cool as you want, based on the materials you combine with it.

Even a neutral backsplash can catch your eye when you use tiny tesserae - especially when light bounces off them.

Would you like to shine your kitchen immediately? Go glazed.

If the kitchen is visible from the living room, the backsplash can not be easy. Moroccan tiles give oak furniture color.

Do not forget your outdoor spaces! Blue patterned tiles contrast with the lacquered copper countertops of this outdoor bar.

This cracked ceramic tile is a refined version of subway tile and is glazed in bright blue. It's just the glamor touch to really make the black and gold hood shine.

White cabinets contrast with a bold blue backsplash. (Also check out how the brass drawer perfectly complements the La Cornue series knobs.)
