Before: Outdated and Visually Choppy

Annie Schlechter

Multiple wood tones gave this large farmhouse kitchen a mismatched look, while the green walls divided by a bank of cabinets felt disjointed.

After: Pretty and Polished Farmhouse Kitchen

Annie Schlechter

Singer-songwriter (and serial renovator) Holly Williams preserved her farmhouse kitchen’s original layout opting only to reconfigure the placement of the refrigerator and cooktop. She coated the walls and trim a crisp white (Delicate White by Porter Paints) and installed ceramic subway tile for added texture. For a slight bit of contrast, she chose light gray cabinets which she paired with open shelving. An inky black ceiling (Tricorn Black by Sherwin-Williams) grounds the room, while patterned roman shades add hints of blue without blocking too much natural light. Rather than undertake a pricey floor restoration, Holly opted to paint the hardwoods a barely there shade of pink (Pink Ground by Farrow & Ball).
