Family-Friendly Cottage Style Kitchens
Cottage Claims More Than One Mood
Ask four people to define “cottage” and you’ll likely get four different descriptions. Spanning locales, eras, and lifestyles, cottage suits you and your home, now and later.
Cottage = Mix + Match
Using unfitted furniture suggests your cottage kitchen has evolved. Whether mismatched or hand-me-downs, Grandma’s hutch and Aunt Judy’s bench are personal and practical: Change the look of stock built-in cabinets with faux legs or feet.
Cottage Trim Adds Character
New house? No problem. Use cottage icons such as beaded board, moldings, and plate rails to create almost-instant architecture and a sense of history. Install pieces in stages as your budget allows.
Cottage Colors Save Cash
A cottage kitchen’s cheery hues play well with one another and with budget-smart white sinks and appliances. Use color to unify mismatched wood or metal pieces. The sink features an inexpensive white finish and pairs well with the white dining set, chandelier, cabinet knobs, and ceramic tiles.
Cottage Gets Cozy with Accessories
In cottage kitchens, homey accents are meant to be seen and used. Search garage sales and flea markets for dishes, glasses, and pottery in colors, shapes, and patterns that make you smile. (via: http://www.bhg.com)
