The Charm of a Country Farmhouse Kitchen

If you love the homey vibe along with the casual blend of timeworn wooden materials and furniture with a range of color combinations then the farmhouse kitchen style is for you! Tell your family’s story by using a combination of distressed wood finishes, rough-hewn beams, natural stone, farm sinks and those vintage flea market finds when you’re planning your next kitchen renovation.
