Modern meets Farmhouse! Our latest kitchen renovation is not your mother’s farmhouse. Mixing the clean lines of modern design with a little mix of rustic farmhouse aesthetic will give your kitchen a style that is fresh and welcoming. For example, we balanced rustic pendant lighting with clean lines in the cabinet hardware. The bright white and gray palette bring in a modern and fresh feel while the wooden shelves and wooden counter lend a feel of comfort without the clutter. The backsplash in the breakfast area brightens the entire room with a bit of glam. See amazing before and after photos: www.sterlingrenovationsdfw.com/project-gallery/beforeafter-gallery/

This dining room is the epitome of layered decorating. A simple country style dining table paired with contemporary cream chairs, topped by a huge orb crystal chandelier, are front and centre. Dressing the windows in embroidered drapery panels over navy silk Roman shades adds a pleasingly symmetrical backdrop. The buffet between them was selected for its height, so that it has a stronger presence in the room despite its soft silvered tone. To make this extra-long dining space feel cozier, we used upholstered seating at the sides, going with navy velvet for its glam feel. The lacquered navy artwork above the buffet is the "bull's eye" in the room, serving to marry all the navy elements. The geometry of the coffered ceiling panels overhead also serves to draw the eye into the space.

Transitional Elegance: It blends traditional architectural details (like wall paneling and crown molding) with clean-lined, modern furniture pieces. The space feels timeless, with a balanced mix of warm and cool tones. Key Elements Furniture The round dark wood pedestal dining table adds richness and a sense of formality. Upholstered cream dining chairs with nailhead trim bring in softness while maintaining structure. Lighting & Accessories The chandelier has an orb-like frame in a natural wood or antique gold finish—an elegant nod to rustic glam. Wall sconces paired with a large textured mirror create symmetry and brighten the room. Color Palette Soft sage or gray-green walls feel calm and sophisticated. Neutral drapes in warm beige balance the darker tones of the furniture. A round neutral rug grounds the space and keeps it cozy. Architectural Detailing Paneled walls and crown molding add traditional character. Chevron-pattern hardwood flooring brings in warmth and depth.

This master bath is the perfect retreat from busy family life! The gorgeous freestanding soaking tub is surrounded by bright white Craftsman style wainscoting behind. The dark ebony vanity provides a striking contrast, and crystal chandelier above adds just the right amount of "glam."

Framed by natural granite stone, this entryway welcomes you into a Minnesota barnhouse with a Reclaimed Wood Barn Door in a weathered red finish, paired with Hand Hewn Timbers used as ceiling beams and window framing beyond. The view opens onto a dining room overlooking the lake, where iron chandeliers and warm wood tones create the just right scaled, casual elegance the homeowners set out to achieve, blending rustic glam with country western charm. The Reclaimed Wood Barn Door carries the same weathered character found throughout this barnhouse, its faded red finish worn by years of use into an authentic patina. Hand Hewn Timbers, salvaged from our neighboring Wisconsin and shaped with axes and adzes by hand, bring the marks and dents of true 19th century craftsmanship to the ceiling beams and window framing, grounding the entry and dining space in genuine reclaimed history. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner drawn to authentic Hand Hewn Timbers and reclaimed wood doors, Manomin Resawn Timbers can help bring that character to your own home.

When a visual artist purchases a mass production home in one of Wilmington, NC’s developing neighborhoods, she quickly realizes that the builder’s standard house plans and amenity options lack the personality she craved. A chance visit to the Kitchen & Bath Design Studio showroom proves to be ‘love at first sight’ when a designer listens to the artist’s needs and immediately produces a tile sample that matches the artist’s vision. Can our designer achieve the client’s vision while respecting the production builder’s restrictions and architectural plans? Of course she can! To satisfy the client’s wish list, the kitchen design required a larger island, more counter space, and semi-custom cabinetry. The client settled on Brazilian cherry-style flooring, her favorite of the builder-approved upgrades for flooring. Iridescent glass mosaic tile and multiple chandelier pendants brought in the “bling factor” at the top of the client’s list—she has penchant for “bright, shiny objects” and wanted her kitchen to reflect a Farmhouse Chic or Rustic Glam aesthetic. Left to her own devices, the client would have veered toward a more liberal, Liberace-esque application of bling, so the designer introduced a neutral color palette and warm, polished nickel finishes as a counterbalance to all of that sparkle and shine. Working within the builder’s constraints, the designer made changes to the kitchen’s layout to increase island workspace and nearly double countertop space. The client had to go with an entry-level builder-approved refrigerator available in only one fridge counter depth size. So the designer moved the pantry location, situating it behind the refrigerator and then recessed the refrigerator into the pantry to cheat the counter depth needed to flow seamlessly with the semi-custom cabinetry line. She also maximized drawers and upper cabinets to increase storage space, but did not take the upper cabinets to the ceiling to respect the home’s half crown molding details. Chris Davis Photography
