Could you tell me the brand of the pendant lights, and are they lacquered black? Where might one find them; they are gorgeous. Thanks you.

Thanks, and may I ask one more question? :) I can't tell from the photo, because a plant is blocking, but what type of sink did you go with? It appears like a white porcelain or enamel?

Task Lighting - This kitchen is beautiful - we love the open feel without upper cabinets and large windows. Is there any task lighting, to shed light on counter top without shadows cast by the user? Where are they hidden, and what product did you use?

Thank you for your question and kind words, Jamie! There are recessed can lights above the perimeter tops for optimal task lighting. There are also lights on the range hood and large pendants over the island.

Natural Pine Flooring and Paint Color of Cabinets/Trim - I have a similar flooring in our 1916 home. What treatment did you use to help seal the seams/cracks in the natural pine floor.? Also the white you used here looks so fresh (and bright) against the pine - please share what color and paint provider/co was used. Many thanks! Your houses are "fairy-tale book" perfect!

Does the matt polyurethane finish effect the temperature feel of the floor? Will it be colder under foot on a winter morning?

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Mitchell Parker added this to New This Week: 4 Fresh Farmhouse-Inspired Kitchens

1. Raising the BarnDesigners: Matt Retzak and Heather Scott of Bartelt the Remodeling Resource, and Becky HowleyLocation: Washington County, WisconsinSize: 180 square feet (17 square meters); 12 by 15 feetHomeowners’ request. “The homeowners wanted their barn’s kitchen to be a complement to the restored 1870s farmhouse on the property,” designer Heather Scott says. “The room serves as additional entertaining space for the husband and his friends, a canning kitchen for their extensive vegetable garden and a private guest space when needed. The kitchen is meant to be a nod to the homestead’s original charm.”Farmhouse details. Timber framing. Reclaimed-pine flooring and island top. Wood ceiling. Natural stone countertops. Apron-front sink. “Also, there are few upper cabinets, adding to that airy farmhouse kitchen feel,” Scott says.

Becky Harris added this to Houzz Tour: A Multifunctional Barn for a Wisconsin Farm

Keeping It SimpleWhile the kitchen was designed as a place to do canning, it’s also a highly social spot. The island stands out thanks to its reclaimed-pine countertop and the prominent vintage-style pendant lights. The posts around the base cabinetry open the island up for seating, making it a natural hub. This is another element repeated from the main house. The countertops are a mix — reclaimed pine on the island and coffee-brown sueded granite on the perimeter. “They have soapstone counters in the main house but wanted something more rustic out here,” Scott says. “The sueding makes it softer and more rustic, and there are modern black undertones in its coloring.” As for the island, the top was done by the same company that did the reclaimed-wood floors. Both came from northern Wisconsin. The long bay of windows provides views to the main house and gardens. And the southwest-facing orientation fills the kitchen with natural light. Note how the windows extend down to meet the countertops. This makes the room feel more open and connected to the landscape.Cabinets: Louis Anthony Custom CabinetryFind black farmhouse-style pendant lights

3. Wood on wood (on wood). Many of the most popular kitchen photos in 2018 featured lots of wood, and it’s easy to see why. Wood adds loads of warmth and character, and it pairs well with whites and grays, two of the most popular colors for kitchen cabinets and walls.Ott says she’s seeing an increase in interest for medium-tone woods rather than super dark or light ones. Wood also adds charm that aligns with the trend toward farmhouse style, which has been gaining in popularity every year for the past three years, according to the recent Houzz kitchen trends report.

1. Beckoning Barn It’s easy to see why this has been the most popular kitchen photo uploaded to Houzz since July 1. Designers Matt Retzak and Heather Scott of Bartelt the Remodeling Resource used timber framing, a wood ceiling and reclaimed pine on the floor and island top to put anyone lucky enough to belly up to that countertop in a sandwich of coziness. Cream-colored cabinets (Creamy by Sherwin-Williams, in fact), stone countertops and a green-covered view make this barn kitchen worth getting out of bed for.See more of this home

5. Down on the FarmThe kitchen in this guesthouse in Washington County, Wisconsin, was designed as a place for the homeowners to can vegetables. The rustic kitchen, designed by the team at Bartelt the Remodeling Resource, features a white painted island with a reclaimed-pine countertop. The long bay of windows provides views to the main house and gardens, and the southwest-facing orientation fills the kitchen with natural light. Note how the windows extend down to meet the countertops, making the kitchen feel more open and connected to the landscape.
