Design Inspiration

Create a space that is inspired by an object that inspires you.

Inspiration:  A charming little decorative bowl that has hints of country with elegant embellishments.

My first thoughts on the object:  homestead, farm fresh, free range, quaint and graceful

Translate into style: Traditional, Rustic, fresh, elegant

My inspiration for these material selections started with the fresh green grass as seen in the picture. I picked the countertops to be predominantly green (Costa Esmeralda Granite(upper right) or Traditional Soapstone (lower left)). The granite is very elegant and refreshing; however the Soapstone is traditional and welcoming.

Next the chestnut color seen in the chickens is carried through to the cabinets and brings warmth to the space.  Another option you could go with would be white cabinets to echo the graceful airiness of the bowl.  Using a caramel glaze on the white cabinets would bring warmth into the kitchen.

Glass doors could also be selected for each cabinet option.  The soft curves in the Windmere Glass Door insert achieve a graceful edge to accent the chestnut door, while the straight lines and structure of the Cambridge Glass Door insert ground the white cabinets. The door styles that I have selected are simple but the beaded embellishments enhance the feeling of craftsmanship in the details. These characteristics add a bit more character to the space.

The knobs I have chosen are simple with clean lines to complete the space, finished in either antique pewter or brushed nickel.

With these options I tried to capture a Traditional, Rustic, Fresh, and Elegant style.
