JUNE/JULY 2019Hearth
and
Home
We call the kitchen the heart of the home, and for good reason.
It’s the place where you and your family gather to prepare—and sometimes share—
meals. Whether you’ve been at work all day, ferrying kids to various lessons and practices,
or working on a project in a different room, all the busyness of life pauses for food, which
gives you and your family the perfect excuse to gather and reconnect.
Farmhouse style provides an even better focus for the heart of the home because of the
open-floor concept that’s so central to the style. You can often see the kitchen, dining area
and living area all within the same open space.
That’s why it’s so important to get the kitchen right. As summer approaches, we’ve
prepared this kitchens and baths issue to give you inspiration and guidance to plan for
and upgrade your essential spaces.
Tour inspiring homes, from new builds with luxurious eating and bathing areas (page
98) to historic home rescues (page 52) and budget-friendly renovations (page 58). Pick the
best farmhouse-style materials and accents (pages 18 and 20), and learn about kitchen
and bath hardware options (page 81). DIY your way into farmhouse charm by adding
wooden-spoon art to your kitchen (page 10), installing your own open shelves (page 12)
and creating faux shiplap (page 65).
As you’re choosing your backsplash and freestanding bath tub, don’t forget to include
those details that will make your rooms welcoming and friendly for both your family and
visiting guests. After all, it’s the personal touches that make your home unique to you.
