The
classic square raised panel door in this kitchen —an
American favorite—is combined here with glass inserts. The
appearance of once inset cabinet doors is created through
the use of a square edge pilaster system. This look provides
a comfortable backdrop for many American styles. Here we
have a mix of elements, such as the early high Victorian tin
ceiling and tile floor. The pendant lighting fixtures have a
period feel, yet feature more contemporary overtones.
Stainless steel appliances add another modern touch.
Timeless elements, such as the granite countertops, were
popular in the early 1900’s, and are seeing great appeal
again.
The cabinetry’s clean lines and simple trims combined with
the informal look of a beaded door panel, fit beautifully
into the early 1900’s Illinois country home.
The application of moulding to the recessed center panels of
the doors and drawers turns the general feel of the room in
a more formal direction. Add a turning, carving or more
intricate crown moulding and this kitchen begins to blend
with your home’s fine furniture and antiques.
Whether you enjoy the ease of a more casual lifestyle or the
beauty of a refined décor, this Classic American style lends
itself to almost any home and welcomes you to add your own
taste and sense of style. |
