[post_content] => Today's renewed interest in self-reliance through gardening means that your kitchen probably serves as a daily way station for fresh essential herbs, fruits, and veggies, en route from your modern victory garden to your dining table. Creating meals is more than enjoyable when your kitchen is light, bright, and trimly stocked with everything you need within handy reach. An inspirational kitchen like the one pictured here, which is big on function but small on space, is all the more impressive as it is actually part of a tiny 200 square foot home.Through just a few simple style decisions - heavy reliance on white surfaces, use of extra windows and placement of open, accessible shelving rather than cabinetry - a seeming abundance of elbow room welcomes the eye. The mixed media walls, done in gleaming white subway tiles as well as both rustic, unfinished and painted white barn board, deftly create a hybrid farmhouse cottage kitchen. And the contrasting vibrant color of the produce and plants in almost every nook make the roomscape anything but a whitewash.

Sky blue turns heads. The color of the walls in this farmhouse kitchen play against white tile and cabinetry to energize the space in a quietly fresh way. Crisp and clean, this eat-in kitchen gives off an orderly confidence without looking contrived, a magical element of the Scandinavian style. Drawing from both traditional and modern styles, key architectural elements in this kitchen mesh without giving pause.
A gorgeous white antique enameled corner fireplace rules this cheery kitchen, where everything has its place, from the aqua pitcher and herbs to the incredibly mod pinecone lighting fixture. The weathered farmhouse table grounds the area with its sturdy earthiness and ungrudgingly gives over the spotlight to the glitzy lamp. The shiny coat of white paint on the dining chairs furthers the kitchen's signature lightness. The lesson here is to mix and match without fear, from antique with modern to linear with ornate, simply taking care to keep clutter out of the equation and to have fun.
Are you a fan of the Scandinavian style?

We LOVE this adorable vintage cottage kitchen! The layering of white, white and more white, combined with architectural details, like the tall ceilings and over-sized windows, makes this an unbelievably bright and sunshiny space. Using hints of green accents and vintage garden chairs adds an outdoorsy feeling to this quaint eat-in kitchen.

This cozy country home has so much style in such a small space. Primitive country accents, including the needlepoint pillow, checkered drapes, and roughly painted end tables, are carefully arranged throughout the open concept family room for a homey, lived in feel. The architecture in this home is a beautiful blend of old and new. Rustic elements, like the stone hearth, old pine flooring, and reclaimed wood loft blend seamlessly with polished elements, like the crisp kitchen cabinetry, and beadboard walls. A perfect concoction of new and old in this tiny country cabin.
What is your favorite primitive country accent?

If space permits, having a center island in the kitchen can be a life saver for additional storage, extended counter top space, and a great place to gather around when entertaining. This cottage kitchen island has a butcher block top for food preparation, and a painted base for a great kick of color. If you want to allow space for stools, than ensure your custom kitchen island has at least a 12" overhang for plenty of knee room.
What wall color do you envision for this lively kitchen?

Having a full size table in the kitchen allows for a less formal dining area and provides a multi-functional surface space for the whole family. The different colored chairs are such a fun and bright addition to this kitchen.

Every home should have a special spot to unwind after a hard day's work. Some people want a cottage kitchen nook, or a comfy chair, while Linda prefers a glass of wine in her own private oasis! The coastal accents immediately help her mind drift away to the beach while sipping her favorite vino. The bar set features french traditional stools that have distinct carvings for a refined and classic style, which pair beautifully with the painted blackberry bar, and the subtle diamond print rug.

Color, color, and more color! This adorable, colorful breakfast nook is a perfect way to start your day, and if the coffee doesn't wake you up, than the color certainly will. Bright orange, hints of blue, and zesty lime greens create a fun and vibrant space that exudes happiness and cheer.
The contours of the chair design, the circular print on the cushions, the scalloping of the curtains, and the varying sized stripes in the rug make a bold and creative statement. Choosing a table with a simple silhouette allows all of these other elements to really shine. This room is a well balanced space, because it achieves both a playful and fun environment, while also showing a sense of restraint.

This rustic buffet in this sunny kitchen nook is made of reclaimed old pine making it a unique center island for the kitchen. Reclaimed wood has lots of personality with an array of markings from it's years of wear. The age of this type of wood also makes for a harder surface and is not as penetrable as new pine. There are two types of wood treatments for a kitchen surface: stained and sealed, if not being used as a cutting surface, or oiled, if the surface will be used as a direct prep station. Incorporating a center island in the kitchen adds another work surface and offers a chance to punch up your look with color or detailing. If space permits, add stools for seating and an overhead pendant light - a great spot for morning coffee, after school homework, or late night snacking!

Incorporating a center island in the kitchen adds another work surface and offers a chance to punch up your look with color or detailing. If space permits, add stools for seating and an overhead pendant light - a great spot for morning coffee, after school homework, or late night snacking!

All avid decorating fans love to flip through the newest design magazines and consult collaborative idea websites, like Pinterest & Houzz, to absorb as many ideas as possible. We all see those stunning homes that make for beautiful photos, but are they as practical as we would hope? Here is a list of stylish home trends that we adore and the pros and cons of living with them. Do they work for you?
The Kitchen:
Color-blocked open shelving is clean, understated, and down-right gorgeous. But how practical is it to display your everyday dishes?
Adds an asymmetrical element with the skewed shape
Cons:
Typically there is no backing which makes for a trip/slip hazard
Mixed reviews on cleaning instructions. Some websites have a long list of care considerations, where others claim their product is low maintenance. Ensure the care instructions will be feasible to maintain prior to making a purchase.
Lucite has been around since the early 1930’s, and hit an all-time high in furniture design in the 1980’s. It is a resin based material, which today, is available in many forms and colors. Despite its popularity, does this material work for your coffee table for day-to-day life?
Limitless design for all types of spaces, and furniture arrangements, because of the “floating” visual affect
Introduces a new material into the space other than wood stained and painted tables
Blends into the space allowing for emphasis on other pieces in the room
Cons:
Lucite is an easy to scratch material, and because of the clear finish, those scratches become very apparent
Collects and shows dust quickly
They do not typically offer any storage
The Bathroom:
Open-concept shelving in the bathroom has a similar list of considerations as the kitchen. However, in the bathroom, a whole different array of products are on display. Does this look make an organized statement or create a high maintenance space?
Offers visual interest with baskets, crates, jars and other interesting containers
Creates a spa-like atmosphere
Easy access to towels, washcloths, and linens
Cons:
Delicate balance between what should/should not be on display
Folding & organization quickly becomes an integral design necessity to maintain a spotless appearance

[post_content] => Today's renewed interest in self-reliance through gardening means that your kitchen probably serves as a daily way station for fresh essential herbs, fruits, and veggies, en route from your modern victory garden to your dining table. Creating meals is more than enjoyable when your kitchen is light, bright, and trimly stocked with everything you need within handy reach. An inspirational kitchen like the one pictured here, which is big on function but small on space, is all the more impressive as it is actually part of a tiny 200 square foot home.Through just a few simple style decisions - heavy reliance on white surfaces, use of extra windows and placement of open, accessible shelving rather than cabinetry - a seeming abundance of elbow room welcomes the eye. The mixed media walls, done in gleaming white subway tiles as well as both rustic, unfinished and painted white barn board, deftly create a hybrid farmhouse cottage kitchen. And the contrasting vibrant color of the produce and plants in almost every nook make the roomscape anything but a whitewash.
What's your favorite food to grow at home?

Crisp and clean, this eat-in kitchen gives off an orderly confidence without looking contrived, a magical element of the Scandinavian style. Surprising elements of the old and new, like a gorgeous white antique enameled corner fireplace and an incredibly mod pinecone lighting fixture, mesh without giving pause. The effect is energizing. #skybluekitchen #scandinavian #farmhousetable https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com/
Adding hints of green accents and using vintage garden chairs create an outdoorsy feeling to the quaint eat in kitchen. #cottagekitchen #mintgreen #cottagedecor #farmhousekitchen cottagehomefurniture.com

This cottage style kitchen island has a stained pine top for easy cleaning, and a painted base for a great kick of color. If you want to allow space for stools, than ensure your custom kitchen island has at least a 12″ overhang for plenty of knee room. #cottagedecor #cottagekitchen #cottagestyle https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com/
Poor ceilings. It seems they have been neglected for so long – banished to the boring corridors of plain white. Well, no longer! Painting a ceiling is a great way to add color and visual interest to any room. Here are a few of our favorites to inspire you! #paintedceilings #cottagestyle #coastalstyle #cottagedecorating https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com
This country cottage kitchen is a bright and airy space, filled with whimsical accents and cheery color. It is also the perfect place for family meals or evening homework!

When working with small spaces, as cottages often are, we are always looking for clever ways to save space. Using barn doors in lieu of traditional swing doors, not only offers a custom look to your home, but they save a tremendous amount of space! #cottagedecor #barndoors #DIY #designtip https://www.cottagehomefurniture.com
Most of us associate orange decor with the vintage look of the 1970’s, but in today’s modern and colorful home, it is making a comeback in a big way! Shades of orange create a warm, inviting, and friendly ambiance that expresses a more whimsical and adventurous cottage decorating style.
Color, color, and more color! This adorable, colorful breakfast nook is a perfect way to start your day, and if the coffee doesn’t wake you up, than the color certainly will.
