We have started to work our away into designing the interior of each room in our new home. The layout obviously is already there, but this is the fun part when we actually put the pieces together to create the look and feel we are going for.

Although I love the look of leathered granite, the elegancy of marble, and the warmth of concrete countertops, are they really the wisest choices for a kitchen? I think with countertops we’re guilty of choosing form over function.

Open shelving has become very popular in current kitchen design. It’s a great way to add interest to a kitchen and turn organizing into a design feature.

Choosing or designing a range hood is a great opportunity to take something that is all about functionality and make it beautiful and a focal point. In my opinion, the hood has evolved into one of the most important elements of a beautiful kitchen.

When we designed the kitchen in our modern farmhouse, we chose to go with a stainless hood to add a little “modern” to the kitchen. However, after living in the house for a few months, Brooke decided that the kitchen would look better with a stained wood hood. It would add more warmth to the kitchen and tie in with the floating shelves and wood beams. At the time, I was itching for a new project, so I happily obliged.
