Kitchen remodel: country kitchens charm

When selecting your kitchen remodel style, you have many options. Country kitchens are popular because they create a warm and homey atmosphere reminiscent of grandma's house. They are great for holiday entertaining as well as everyday living.

Carefully plan your kitchen remodel: country kitchens require attention to detail in order to create exactly the right look and feel. Cabinets should be natural wood, with a rustic or distressed design and finish. A wood or stone floor contributes to a country feel and can be accented with area rugs. Open beam ceilings and old-fashioned lighting fixtures help to create the desired look. But the décor and accent items can really complete the country kitchen. Antique utensils hanging on the wall, window coverings in gingham or a themed print, baskets, open shelves with cookbooks displayed, and canisters in a farm design are all touches that say "country kitchen".
