Let’s see how the Finns used Caesarstone in their Kitchen Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been scheming up this kitchen for almost a year now. As we reach the stage in this build where the kitchen is starting to take shape, it\u2019s exciting to see these pieces start slowly come together.\u00a0There have always been a few elements that were really important for me to nail down. The first design decision I made in the kitchen was the limestone backsplash on the range wall. It is the most important feature of our kitchen. I knew that I didn\u2019t want to do a tile backsplash and that going with stone would give our home the older, historic feel that I love so much. It\u2019s no surprise but I was greatly inspired by\u00a0Joanna Gaines\u2019<\/a>\u00a0kitchen for her new cooking show.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Can you see it!? The stone will cover the entire back wall of the kitchen. Floating shelves will wrap around the range wall and into the cabinetry on the right. Unfortunately, the cool reclaimed kitchen island can\u2019t stay\u2026 turns out it was riddled with lead paint. Long story short.. it’s got to go and it\u2019s back to the drawing board on that piece. Everyone makes mistakes. Boy did I make a big one here.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The idea for this kitchen was to have a lived-in, old farmhouse feel. I didn\u2019t want anything too precious or to feel too elevated. My husband is a wonderful cook and as a family, we spend a TON of time in the kitchen. So, it is important for this space to not only look like it has been there for 100 years.. but actually, be able to stand up to the wear and tear that inevitably will occur over the decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is another element that was important for me when dreaming up this kitchen. I knew I wanted a breakfast nook\u2026someplace for our family to gather casually, for the boys to tuck away and work on homework. On the plan, we had a long wall in the kitchen that was basically unused, so I decided to carve out our breakfast nook to overlook a grove of oak trees.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I want to wrap the nook in tongue and groove paneling. I was inspired by the image below from\u00a0Heidi Caillier\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>Tudor project. I love the idea of the paneling and the stone being in the same room but feeling like they identify their own space within the larger space. It\u2019s these elements that will make this home feel like an old farmhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

To get a look at the overall plan for this space, I mocked up this design board. It will help to keep me on track in this room. The large black pendant lights over the kitchen island are vintage. I scored them from the Round Top Antiques Show two years ago. I\u2019ll have them rewired and hung above the island.

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next up\u2026. countertops. I have always envisioned a concrete look for the counters but knew that I wanted to use a material that was as durable as possible. We live with two small boys. There will be no marble or white kitchens in our future EVER! This kitchen needs to be beautiful but also bulletproof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew right away that I wanted to use a quartz material.\u00a0Caesarstone<\/a>\u00a0provides a wonderful quartz countertop that is both durable and beautiful. We decided to go with\u00a0Primordia<\/a>\u00a0which looks and feels like aged concrete. There is just enough movement in the tops to make them look like they\u2019ve been around for years. They are utilitarian but also beautiful and interesting. They are warm with hints of brown running through the tops like rust from years of use. I\u2019m obsessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With a few other special touches, like appliances from\u00a0GE\u2019s Cafe Series<\/a>\u00a0which feel modern yet timeless, the\u00a0Brizo<\/a>\u00a0Rook kitchen faucet which was love at first sight, and a classic farmhouse sink from\u00a0Signature Hardware<\/a>, this kitchen is shaping up nicely. Now the real fun begins as we watch it come to life in person over the next few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
