Marble Countertop
To comparison the sweeping wood-paneled ceilings and dark wooden floors, Birmingham designer Beth McMillan selected cool-toned Carrara marble to the kitchen's countertops.
Dark and Light
Offsetting the glistening white appliances in this California house: an island using dark soapstone counters and backsplashes, in addition to walnut cabinetry painted a muted gray-green (Paris Gray by Annie Sloan Chalk Paint). The wicker stools are by Palecek.
Marble Countertop
Designer Mark D. Sikes complements the blue-and-white French bistro stools and sky-blue walls with a mossy green island.
Upcycled Desk
The homeowner of the revived country kitchen came across this early-1900s green desk -- $350 in an antiques shop -- and saw an opportunity for a one-of-a-kind workstation. She improvised a shelf with propping wood planks throughout the stretchers to make the piece more functional.
White Island
If you add a dark floor stain to your kitchen flooring, pick a light paint to your island, walls, and cabinetry.
Farmhouse Design
The kitchen island within this Ohio home boasts a zinc top crafted by a local metal shop and has an integrated plate rack to get stealthy storage. Tile from Home Depot forms the backsplash.
Neutral Features
Salvaged fittings hang above the wooden-top island to enhance a more neutral aesthetic.
Pecky Cypress
Found here on the hood and staircase, pecky cypress is a kind of wood that has a grainy texture thanks to long, narrow burrows or cavities.
Salvaged Finds
With still-functioning pulleys, these industrial and salvaged lighting fixtures (once utilized at a billiard hall) create for eye-catching (and hardworking) job lighting above the island within this coastal cabin.
