Fabulous Room Friday 11.07.14

As we head to Northern California tomorrow, I am feeling the pull of warm spaces with a slightly rustic vibe. This week, I’ve been focusing on wine country architecture as well as Fall design inspiration. This stylish kitchen by Ali Davin of Jute, an interior design firm based in Marin County, not far from where we will be, features several of the elements I have been so inspired by lately. The architecture is clean-lined and the Shaker style cabinetry is completely classic. The saturated gray hue of the cabinets is both chic and modern and is further complimented by the geometric backsplash above the stove and the simple lighting.

The thing that makes this kitchen a true standout is the use of warm wood finishes from the rustic farm table and mix of dining chairs in various shapes to the butcher block counter tops and that stunning herringbone floor stained in the most beautiful finish. The long countertop opposite the counter with the sink and window pictured on the left in the image above is genius not only for additional storage, but to use as a buffet when entertaining. The whole space feels pulled together, but completely relaxed– just the kind of vibe I am feeling as we head on our trip. Have a wonderful weekend!
