Farmhouse kitchen photo in Nashville

This beautiful kitchen is Thyme & Place Design's take on modern farmhouse style. White painted full access custom cabinets frame the perimeter of the space and a custom soft gray paint adorns the island cabinetry. The former kitchen felt tight and lacked style while this new kitchen has attitude to spare. Sub Zero and Wolf appliances set the stage for a cooks delight. An antique barn beam was used to create the mantle and corbels for an updated version of a mantle hood. Ample storage for everything a gourmet cook could want was provided. Deep drawers hold all the pots and pans for daily cooking. Pull out storage holds oil and vinegar bottles for instant recipe inspiration. A magic corner cabinet allows access to mixing bowls and colanders. Extra height wall cabinet storage contains several sets of dishes and most used foods at the cook’s fingertips. The island does double duty providing seating for extra guests, presenting a large expanse of countertop for all types of cooking prep. There is a microwave drawer for quick reheats and the most coveted by a baker, a built-in mixer lift. Behind the island, an oversized glass door pantry closet holds everything from pantry staples, to holiday dishes and oversized cooking and serving pieces. The dining area found a renewed sense of purpose with the removal of walls which cut it off from the rest of the home. New sky lights and a updated sliding door flood the space with light and open the view to the beautiful yard. A coffee bar was added which includes additional dish storage and a beverage center. Black ebonized maple with honey bronze hardware is a dramatic balance to the white and grey of the kitchen. The space was further opened to the family room which is now an integrated part of the family’s gatherings. Honey Bronze accents are repeated in the light fixtures over the island and as an accent on the sconces above the coffee bar.

This mudroom area contains the entrance to the garage, basement, laundry room, and powder room. The hall tree is the Large Home Depot Decorator's Collection Royce Hall Tree in Polar White. We swapped out the silver hardware for oil-rubbed bronze to match the rest of the finishes in the house. The cast iron umbrella stand was purchased from a company called Best for Boots.

Alexandria, Virginia Transitional Kitchen Design with Intriguing Zinc Accents by #MeghanBrowne4JenniferGilmer. Taking a holistic approach to the space, we moved the doorway to the garage first and created a new entrance with a mini-mud room with shelving and catch-all space that helps contain clutter as people enter the home. With the doorway removed from the center of the kitchen, we were also able to create an expansive countertop run with the zinc hood and blue range centered in the space for an ideal work zone. On the adjacent wall, we simply replaced the windows with shorter windows to allow for the sink to sit underneath and overlook the backyard. Photography by Bob Narod. http://www.gilmerkitchens.com/

Whites, grays and blues play a major role in brightening the bathroom. Pattern, texture and color keep it from looking sterile.

Because these homeowners are active cooks, the original cooktop area was often crowded with oils, spices, and utensil containers. The new custom kitchen island solves that everyday clutter with thoughtfully designed functional cabinetry, including a dedicated utensil pull-out placed near the cooktop for easy access. This discreet storage solution keeps cooking tools close at hand while preserving clean countertops and a more refined luxury kitchen design.

For years, early morning walks past this 1910 Craftsman in Houston's historic Avondale neighborhood left the new owners with lingering fantasies of making it their future home. When it became available, they acquired a home rich with history, but one nearly abolished. The home was once inhabited by Texas Governor (1931-1932) and founder of Humble Oil, Ross Sterling. But, renovations subdivided the home into multi-family rentals and destroyed original finishes. The developer driven modifications were abruptly halted by city red tags in 2018 after original windows were demolished and replaced with vinyl substitutes. With a nearly clean slate on the interior, the HRDD renovation aims to be respectful to the original context while providing coplimentary modern surprises atypical to the era. One such example is a new opening that punctures through the second floor, extending to a roof skylight. Situated at the transition between formal and informal rooms on the first floor and common space on the second floor, this subtraction is lined with a scalloped wood screen. The screen is one of multiple moments within the home where texture will combine with minimal white surfaces, providing a backdrop to the owners' collection of antique Indian furniture pieces. Additionally, a new detached replaced an existing dilapidated garage apartment and contains the owner's photography studio. Windows and a skylight are placed to capture coveted north light, ideal for photographing and editing. The main room remains an austere slate, with ceiling vaulting to a single aperture to create a dynamic moment that carries a dialogue to the opening in the main home.

WHENEVER WE HAVE TO USE 3" OR 6" FILLERS WE ALWAYS ADD SPICE PULLOUTS TO THEM. IN THIS CASE, WE HAD 12" AND WERE ABLE TO PUT IN A FULL "SPICE PANTRY PULLOUT" WHICH HOLDS THE SMALL SPICE JARS BUT ALSO LARGER OIL AND VINEGAR CONTAINERS! NOTE BEAUTIFUL CONTRASTING WOOD FLOORING.

The kitchen combines matte finish countertops and slab doors, with accent slimline metal accent cabinet door fronts. White high gloss glass back splash tiles offer a stark contrast with the more muted tones and textures and creates interesting light paly in the space. The dual tone counters each have waterfall edges on all sides continuing to clean and well-defined lines. The sitting area counter color brings in warmth, which pulls in the natural wood floors and also adds a new layer to the otherwise stark white and stainless-steel kitchen. The Miele appliance package is perfect partner for the modern kitchen. Hidden storage solutions throughout the kitchen keep the counters clean and clear of clutter. There is breakfast cabinet that hides blenders, juicers, and coffee makers. Pull outs racks contain all spices, oils and stove top utensils. Pull out pantry trays and extra deep drawers hold all the pot, pans and daily goods.

Located in Sultan, Washington this barn home houses miniature therapy horses below and a 1,296 square foot home above. The structure includes a full-length shed roof on one side that's been partially enclosed for additional storage space and access via a roll-up door. The barn level contains three 12'x12' horse stalls, a tack room and wash/groom bay. The paddocks are located off the side of the building with turnouts under a second shed roof. The rear of the building features a 12'x36' deck with 12'x12' timber framed cover. (Photos courtesy of Amsberry's Painting) Amsberry's Painting stained and painted the structure using WoodScapes Solid Acrylic Stain by Sherwin Williams in order to give the barn home a finish that would last 8-10 years, per the client's request. The doors were painted with Pro Industrial High-Performance Acrylic, also by Sherwin Williams, and the cedar soffits and tresses were clear coated and stained with Helmsmen Waterbased Satin and Preserva Timber Oil Photo courtesy of Amsberry's Painting

Designed specifically for roll in access, this 9' x 8' bathroom (true dimensions 8.75 x 7.5) delivers the specific accessibility needs and incredible style to match the rest of the home. Open shower space and tiled floor sloped to the drain create a wet room of sorts and avoids barriers to entry. What we love: - Large stylish tile on shower walls complement beautifully with glass accent tile and smaller format floor tile and add overall warmth to the room. - Niche recessed shelving in shower for both seated showering and standing showering. - Plumbing diverter and hand-held fixture allow flexibility of seated and standing showering. - Grab bars are functional and yet blend in with other oil rubbed bronze fixtures. - Frosted glass partitions shower to contain water spray but allows light from window through small bathroom, helping to make it feel larger. - Creative angle of short wall allows for plumbing for overhead shower spray but also creates a sense of division of shower space even while allowing full access.

orrowing from the image of the platform tent, two seasonal, guest cottages share a linear cedar deck and are grouped in dialogue marking a clearing in the forest. Conceived as a summer retreat for guests of a nearby residence, each cottage is houses distinct yet supporting functions. At the end of the main deck axis sits the larger of the two structures, accommodating a small kitchen, bath, living area and sleeping loft. The smaller structure contains a screened porch on the lower level and a children’s bunkhouse on the upper level. Sharply pitched gabled forms are devoid of ornament and local white cedar will weather over time to a silver gray without the need for paint or stain. The main level of each building is punctuated by large sliding doors which open and effectively link the interior spaces to the decks and forest immediately adjacent. The opening and closing of these small follies and their large apertures reference their seasonal use and protect the interiors during the winter months. A whitewashed interior celebrates the simple stick frame construction and is sheathed in locally milled spruce boarding boards whose imperfections enhance the informal nature of the gathering spaces. Industrial light fixtures, simple hardware and humble materials create a relaxed environment where sitting on the deck and gathering with friends take center stage.
