Typically you simply want just a little kitchen refresh and ours got here within the type of new counter stools from Kathy Kuo House, along with a country styling overhaul of the complete area. Gone are the times of white linen chairs – not essentially the most toddler pleasant materials no matter their “high-performance” stature.

Even trying on the earlier than and after photographs, they really feel heavy and clunky compared to the brand new ones.
I used to be on the hunt for counter stool chairs that felt pure and fluid within the area. I already had an thought of what the type could be however couldn’t appear to seek out the precise type I used to be on the lookout for till I found these on Kathy Kuo House. The wishbone again and woven seat of those Zhuri Coastal Seashore Woven Wishbone counter stools was precisely what I had been on the lookout for. They make the area really feel mild and ethereal, rustic and refined. They really feel like an extension of our type and persona.
And simply because the chairs really feel like an extension of our persona, we wished to inject extra of that heat and layered texture all through the area by styling the kitchen with timeless copper accents and a mixture of antiques from totally different occasions and locations.

Maintain an eye fixed out whilst you’re thrifting or take a look at Etsy for some stunning vintage oil work. I personally was drawn to the distinction of the yellow lemons on the black again drop. It’s meals, so it additionally feels prefer it’s there to inform a narrative.
One other pretty previous world design ingredient I’ve at all times dreamed of getting within the kitchen is a wrought iron pot rack hanging over the island. Whereas our area doesn’t totally help that design ingredient, I introduced within the pot rack to hold above the range which can be nice for practicality functions. That is one other piece I discovered on Etsy utilizing the search time period “Classic French Wrought Iron Wall Hanging Rod.” I discovered that this one match completely within the area and easily used two “S” hooks at hand it from the hood.
The rack turned the proper place to show our rising assortment of copper cookware – these pots and pans are supposed to be displayed, not tucked away! Whereas some could really feel prefer it’s a fussy materials to cook dinner with, Freddie and I each favor our copper cookware as a result of they’re nice conductors of warmth! And in contrast to plenty of cookware out there, copper wears its age effectively. You’ll find 200 yr previous copper pans that look higher than the brand new issues generally! They cook dinner good, they appear good and definitely well worth the funding due to these causes. They’re additionally very straightforward to scrub however I favor the look of wear and tear on them.
