Country/Industrial Kitchen
Country charm as you define it: soft, feminine fabric/colors and colorful touches with the warmth of wood, yet somehow, to me, a fresh update.

More and more I am seeing "architectural" built-in features in kitchens. This is a great example of a warm, country kitchen, European-like to my eye.

Country modern cool - minimalist use of symmetry. Luxurious table as a strong element. Justaposition of quiet/bold.

Another classic country kitchen, but with a mix of charm and formality, a real earthy mix. Oriental rugs and beams? Why not?

I really like the look of the oriental rug in the kitchen but not sure if it is also functional.

A large farmhouse sink would be my first choice to create the "country" look. Great ideabook!

karen1974...I have to say I love it. Anything that adds comfort in the kitchen, I'm interested! It also depends where/how it is situated, which may be what you are referring to. Placement can definitely be tricky.
dana29...Big sinks are a real advantage in so many ways. Most of my clients go BIG with their sinks.

LOVE the floating shelves and classic clean look of the cabinets in the second kitchen. So pure, so elegant. Thanks for sharing.
