Kitchen Clarity Adventures in Kitchen and Bath Design

Today’s kitchen collection is all about comfortable, rustic style.  Maybe we can’t all live in a converted farm building, but we can certainly pretend we do.  I just love this combination of well-used copper, weathered wood, and functional stainless steel:

Then we have the beams, and the island, to die for – nothing matches? It’s just not meant to. And hanging a Murano glass chandelier in a barn is too perfect (via BrookeGiannetti):

This Johnny Grey Studios kitchen echoes the barn aesthetic without actually being a barn at all – nobody does an unfitted kitchen like Johnny Grey. I don’t think anybody can do circles like Johnny Grey, either: (via)

Now we have a contemporary kitchen, tucked into an all-cleaned-up rustic space – a nice combination, it becomes more loft than barn:

The big trash can is handsome, but it might be just a little in the way here!

This kitchen is a nice mixture of old and new – I’m loving the flagstones, and I’m always a sucker for a kitchen table:

This is the exterior of a refurbished stone barn in Galway, Ireland

and this is the kitchen it contains, apparently making no concessions at all  to its rustic setting – this might as well be in a city condo, don’t you think?

I’ll admit, it is possible to have too much genuine rustic character, as in this candid shot from The Selby. But if you are lucky enough to live in a barn, why not enjoy it just a little bit?
