STYLE
The country style is classy and simple, with a neutral color palette. Nadia wanted to create
a space that was light, bright and inviting. “We chose a linen paint for the cabinetry, which
gives a more layered look with the bright white trim and other details,” she says. Warm wood
accents add texture and comfort, and the color palette is limited, which adds to the focused
simplicity. The more traditional style of the table and chairs ties in with that simplicity, but
also adds a touch of rustic nostalgia. “We wanted a space that was crisp and light,” says Nadia.
The light colors and mix of shades make for a bright and welcoming space.SEE SOURCES, PAGE 128.Nadia mixed different shades
of white and off-white to add
dimension to the space.(top) The cabinets are a cream color, which pairs nicely with the crisp white of the backsplash. The subtle marbling on
the countertops also adds color. (above) Large French doors let in plenty of light, adding to the welcoming space.38 • AMERICAN FARMHOUSE STYLE
