If you're looking for inspiration for your kitchen remodel, two-tone kitchen cabinets are a great place to start. This style of cabinetry creates a modern and timeless look and can be used to highlight specific areas of the kitchen, such as an island or a built-in pantry. When it comes to selecting the perfect cabinets for your kitchen, there are many options to consider. Two-tone kitchen cabinets have become increasingly popular due to their unique style and versatility. Not only do they provide a modern and contemporary look, but they also add depth and dimension to the overall design of your kitchen. They are also a popular choice for designers, as using different colors, finishes, and materials can visually help break up areas of the kitchen.
I love the aesthetic look and feel of modern rustic rugged design. It's the perfect marriage of modern and traditional, with a touch of roughness that adds character and a masculine edge to any space. Think of warm wood tones, exposed brick walls, plenty of texture, and metal accents. It's a look that is both inviting and moody while playing with high contrasts. Whether it's a living room, kitchen, or bedroom, this design style is versatile and adaptable to any space. Plus, it's a great way to bring the outdoors in, with its natural materials and earthy colors. One of my favorite interior designers, Sean Anderson, is a master at creating modern rustic and rugged spaces that are tonal, dynamic and mood-setting. Black is predominantly used throughout his spaces to add depth and stunning contrast.

Country decorating is characterized as casual, comfortable and cozy, incorporating vintage accessories, handcrafted furniture, and an eclectic mix of fabrics, textures and treasured possessions. While certain elements define country style – including natural materials, rustic decor and furnishings, a surprise pop of color such as a vibrant green, can add an up-to-date twist of country charm. Embrace country charm and take a tour of a few of my favorite country interiors with a homespun style.
This stunning ranch style house is perched high on a hilltop and nestled among the trees claiming its rightful place on a scenic 200-acre property in Texas. The owner desired an ample yet understated home with natural and simple architectural expression that would blend effortlessly into the landscape that surrounds it. Heavy timber columns and stone walls ground the home to the site. Reclaimed siding and simple barn-like structures give the architecture a sense of history and regional belonging. Referencing the owner’s love of the old west, many of the interior walls showcase the same stone and wood that is on the exterior of the home. This gesture alludes to a time when materials were not mass produced but simply gathered from the area and formed as needed.
