American Farmhouse Style – June 2019

BATHROOM BASICS
When it came to the kitchen and bath spaces,
Whittney explains, “It was really important to me
that it age well.” While the rooms have undeniable
modern aspects, there are also details and archi-
tectural aspects that will age well over time and
aren’t driven by trends. For example, the honed
marble in the bathroom as well as the marble
in the shower give the space a classic
appearance. “Marble is a material that will age
very well and is a crowd pleaser,” Whittney says.
The bathroom vanity was inspired by a vintage
hutch and brings a touch of rustic comfort to
the room. The warmth of the hutch balances the
cold that comes with marble. The combination of
classic materials and accessories, designed with
warmth in mind, creates a classic and comfort-
able farmhouse bath. Whittney’s ability to draw
on traditional architecture, while adding warm
and streamlined accessories, results in a space
that exudes both comfort and class.

the dining room ties to the
kitchen and bathroom elements.
Whittney used darker colors for
a moodier atmosphere, but with
the same hutch-inspired glass
doors as the kitchen cabinets.

same marble and white cabinet
elements tie this space to the
kitchen. Yet Whittney also added
unique aspects to the bathroom,
such as the rustic finish on the
bathroom cabinets.
