While this large farmhouse is over 100 years old, the homeowner wanted a kitchen design with a simpler more contemporary vibe. Featuring lacquered cabinetry, this new design makes use of space that was wasted in the earlier incarnation. Stainless accents and pendant lighting also help to create the 21st century vibe. The fascinating wallpaper and elegant reeded blinds offer texture that act as a perfect counterpoint to the sleek new kitchen.
