Barnwood gives kitchens that homey, rustic look. The kind that grabs you buy the hand and invites you in for a cup of tea. Barnwood is a classic color; most think it's trendy however, it really never went out of style. For a county style or cottage kitchen, a homey home is built around a modest styled kitchen. Typically in gray or white. The Shaker style is a beautiful marriage with Barnwood as well. Not too much detail, it lets the door's pattern and color have it's own personality. The Formica counter tops in Midnight Stone complement the undertones of dark gray perfectly. The pattern mimics stone and at first glance, you can't even tell its not. This refaced kitchen is now completely transformed and the savings allowed them to update the floors to a floating hardwood laminate. Nailed it! (sorry, we just had to say it) David Glasofer
