John Lum Architecture, Inc. AIA The far wall behind the stove is steel-trowelled cement plaster. The foreground island base is a sheet metal screen with small diameter punches.

John Lum Architecture, Inc. AIA The wood was natural previously. A semi-transparent stain was applied - basically a white-wash finish

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Lily Gahagan to Design Details: Rustic Beams
It's amazing how modern a home can look even with the traditional barn-like ceiling overhead. I love the play of the reclaimed wood with the concrete wall, and the way the lines from the cabinets and the beams intersect to lead the eye down the length of the room.
added by Margaret Everton to Use the Power of Geometrics
This is so super cool. The textured ceiling and the vertical lines on the walls make this room look like the interior of an extended accordion. This slenderizing is balanced brilliantly by floor planks placed perpendicular to the beams.
In this view most elements are balanced perfectly: the doors, the wall, the skylight, the two types of stools. Interestingly the other pieces — picture frame, twigs, fruit bowl, petrified wood (or whatever that is in front of the counter) — opt for asymmetrical balance, so they maintain their singular nature.
added by Noelani to Guest Picks: Petrified Wood
I often struggle with making industrial spaces look warm. This kitchen achieves this balance perfectly, using assorted wood stools, branches and a stunning petrified bench to add texture and color.

RHYTHM- There are cabinets on each side of the room which would be symmetry. The constant use of the same colors and types of materials. everything is balanced perfectly and nothing allows anything to stand out alone.
