Barn Kitchen

 

What I like about this renovated timber-frame barn kitchen is the appropriate utilitarian design elements.  The white inset cabinets in the background are certainly traditional, the light fixtures are practical and feel at home in the barn, as does the iron-legged island with it's thick solid wood top.

As seen on the Martha Stewart website.

Contemporary American Colonial Home

For me, this is a 'surprise and delight' kitchen.  The kitchen in this American colonial has mahogany counters, a table on casters, and chairs designed by by Arne Jacobsen.

As seen on the Martha Stewart website.

Karin Blake - Minimalist Transitional Design

Today we are featuring more of the work of Malibu, California designer, Karin Blake.

I have called her work a kind of minimalist transitional design because of the simple clean, and in some cases narrow, lines and the flat slab door and drawer-fronts.

Please note that these are still face-framed cabinets with inset door and drawer-fronts.  The scaled down face-frame design element is key to the overall look of tying together the traditional with the minimalist design.

If you try to duplicate this look without the stiles and rails of the face-frame, using frame-less cabinets,  you will end up feeling very dissapointed; it will look like you got it half right.

Classic Americana

This kitchen by designer Karin Blake, as it appeared in Architectural Digest. 
Using a mix of flat slab drawer-fronts and barn-style shaker doors, this space has a classic Americana feel.
