Farmhouse Chic
An open floor plan lends itself to a wrap-around kitchen in this upscale Clayton high-rise version of a rugged farmhouse. Multiple cabinet finishes, a large copper hood, and a mixture of stone and wood countertops provide a variety of colors and textures that contrast and flow in this truly unique space. A backlit onyx upper bar top overlooks the breakfast area, and transitions to wood as it wraps around to the living and dining areas. Hefty hardware and cunning panels transform a Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer into an old farmhouse icebox. Architectural details, including a tin ceiling and rough hewn beams, complete the farmhouse look.
