Creating A Country Kitchen
If you have ever wished that you could recreate the tradition and warmth of your grandmother’s kitchen, you’ll be happy to know that it is possible to fill your kitchen with country charm along with the modern features you value.
One feature which can distinguish a country kitchen from other styles is the cabinets. Instead of looking for the traditional maple or oak cabinets, consider painted white cabinets. Glass cabinet doors are another nice touch. You could also add period cabinet hinges and accessories. You may find originals at an antique or second hand store. Also, many companies produce replicas that can be ordered through home improvement stores.
Furniture can be used in unusual ways to give a kitchen country charm. An armoire can be used for storing linens, dishes or even for concealing a television. Look around in antique stores for an old milk chest or wooden ice box to use for storage.
A few changes in accessories can make a world of difference. A different wall paper border, country curtains or a display of old fashioned cooking utensils can help pull your look together. Farmhouse sinks are also very popular, and look great in a country style kitchen.
More and more families are choosing to eat their meals in the kitchen, leaving the dining room for special occasions. If that is the case in your home, you’ll want the table and chairs to maintain the country charm. Of course, they also need to be comfortable and practical.
A table and chairs made from cherry or oak is ideal for the small family setting. Buy cushions for the seat and back of the chairs to mix and match with the kitchen curtains. If you are handy with a sewing machine you can make your own, and have your pick of fabrics. Shop around for hand embroidered cotton clothes, napkins and a wicker basket for storing bread and other items.
When choosing a floor for your country kitchen you may want to consider hard wood. For an extra touch of authenticity, check with your local lumber yards to see if they can tell you where to purchase reclaimed wooden flooring from old houses and barns.
When creating the country kitchen you’ve always dreamed of, it may not be possible to purchase high end appliances. If it is within your budget, a few companies produce replicas of vintage appliances. While these appliances have the look of your great-grandmother’s appliances, they have all the modern features you’d expect in new appliances.
There are several websites and magazines that can help you achieve the exact look you want. Don’t be afraid to mix fabrics and accessories. Experiment until you find the look that is perfect for you and your home. While some people don’t like change, others grow bored with their decorating. This is an economical way to get the most mileage out of your décor.You don’t need a lot of time to make changes that will brighten up your home. In just one day you can make small changes that will make a big impact.
