This custom modern farmhouse kitchen strikes a balance between bright simplicity and inviting warmth. Sherwin Williams Alabaster white painted perimeter cabinets create a clean, timeless look on the backdrop of Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray, keeping the space feeling open and airy. At the center, a blue island painted Sherwin Williams Forged Steel adds a classic pop of color, giving the kitchen personality while serving as a natural gathering place. Polished chrome hardware and a coordinating faucet bring a crisp, refined touch, while black metal pendant lights over the island introduce contrast and a hint of industrial style. Warm, character-rich details—like the antique pantry door and wood-wrapped range hood—soften the overall look and add a sense of history. Rustic hardwood floors in a medium stain ground the space, adding depth and texture without overwhelming the light palette. The result is a kitchen that feels fresh and modern, yet comfortable and full of charm.

This custom farmhouse-style master bedroom is a serene retreat, thoughtfully layered with architectural detail and soft, balanced tones. Vaulted ceilings soaring nearly 15 feet high create an airy, expansive feel, naturally drawing the eye upward to a stunning beaded chandelier in an Ocean Mist finish—a subtle blue-gray that introduces both texture and a calming, cool-toned elegance. Walls painted in Sherwin Williams Argos provide the perfect neutral backdrop, offering a balanced gray that enhances the room’s light and openness. Adding to the charm, a pair of barn doors with a diamond molding design lead to an adjoining sitting room, bringing character and a touch of craftsmanship to the space. To soften the overall palette, the interior windows and barn doors are finished in Sherwin Williams Alabaster, creating a crisp yet inviting contrast. The windows themselves feature a single vertical grid in each unit—a thoughtful detail that blends modern simplicity with traditional charm, adding visual interest without overwhelming the design. Grounding the entire space, rustic medium-stained hardwood floors bring warmth and richness, anchoring the light and airy elements above. The result is a beautifully cohesive master suite that feels both elevated and effortlessly comfortable.
