When we first started looking at houses in the Nashville area, we looked at farms.  I had been collecting pictures of Farmhouse kitchens with open beams and a rustic edge.  When we bought this Historic home we wanted to reference the history of the house but have a modern edge throughout.  I like creating a juxtaposition and tension with new and old together.  It makes things more interesting for sure.

I’m a classic girl at heart and you will see that as you flip through my inspiration pics for the kitchen.  Here’s just a few of them below.  We were pretty set on white cabinets that would respect the origins of the home, a touch of industrial and some modern elements.  That combination seems to make things feel like a true home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although we need tons of storage in the kitchen, I love open shelving.  Had to have a little of it

anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

Possible  farmhouse table for breakfast area

 

 

 

                               I liked the idea of a breakfast nook.  With a round table and mismatched chairs

There are so many more photos that were inspiring.  These are just a few in my collection.  More kitchen details to come in future blogs.
