Interior: A Kitchen Worth the Wait

There’s a kind of magic that happens when a space is not only beautiful, but deeply personal—when the design doesn’t just reflect a style, but a whole life lived. That’s what this kitchen was about. A dream, years in the making, from a woman who had poured herself into her farm, her family, and her home. When she reached out and told me she was finally ready to create her dream kitchen, I knew it had to be something truly special.

This was a real working farmhouse—not the themed kind you find in a city loft, but the kind where the fields stretch out just beyond the windows and the pantry is full of food grown on the land. And yet, she wanted something more than practical. She wanted a space that honored how far they’d come. Something elegant, but still grounded. Something that whispered home.

We started with the cabinetry. The lower cabinets were painted a gentle sage green, just soft enough to feel calming but full of personality. For the upper cabinets, we kept things simple and bright in a clean, classic white. The hardware throughout was a soft brushed gold—warm and subtle, never flashy, but full of quiet luxury. The double farmhouse sink was deep and timeless. And the gas range? A true centerpiece—beautiful, functional, and something she’d been dreaming of for years.

The floors were kept in a soft, natural wood, bringing in that unmistakable farmhouse warmth. But maybe the most meaningful touch came with the glass-fronted cabinets. There was nowhere to hide clutter here—only room to showcase the story of a home. She had collected vintage cookware, heirloom dishes, and country serving pieces over the years, and now every piece had a place, bathed in the natural light that spilled through the space.

The backsplash was simple but striking: shiplap wood, painted an off-white, wrapping the room in a soft texture that made the space feel both fresh and familiar. It was the kind of detail that doesn’t scream for attention, but makes everything else feel just a little more right.

In the end, what we created together was more than a kitchen. It was a gathering space, a celebration of her farm’s success, and a love letter to the roots that made it all possible. Rustic met refined, and it felt exactly like home.
