When your old, cramped farmhouse kitchen just can't be renovated the way you'd like anymore, what do you do? Add a wonderfully large addition, complete with a new kitchen space.

But this homeowner had a great eye for the heritage of this farmhouse, and made smart choices to give the new kitchen old charm. Starting with a rustic hickory cabinet, with random knots, holes, and streaks. The American Standard sink doesn't look like the new farmhouse sinks on the market, with it's high back. Even the light fixtures, with their Edison Bulbs help to create a vintage atmosphere.

The custom island is a wonderful piece, purchased from a local antique store that specializes in creating furniture pieces from reclaimed cabinets and other materials. This island is truly one-of-a-kind, and deep, glazed black finish adds great contrast in the room.
