You’ve seen the photos...cute little country kitchen with red checked, ruffled gingham curtains at the windows, rooster collections on every windowsill, oak kitchen table and chairs with matching hutch in the corner, braided rugs on the floor...all we’re missing is the fully clothed faux goose. Oh, there he is...on the porch.
No intention to offend, but the cutesy days of country are pretty much over and done with. If you love it and that is your lifestyle, kudos to you! For most country home decorating lovers, though, interpretation of the style has moved up a few notches into the 21st century.
Traditional and Cottage Country kitchen furniture will always exhibit at least some of these timeless characteristics:
Casual...A true country kitchen will always have the ‘come on in and sit awhile’ flavor to it
Distressed...Here’s one of the great aspects of cottage and country style furniture - it loves everyone’s budget.
Painted...Your table might be light oak, chairs painted a distressed pewter with deep red seat cushions, a buffet that echoes the chairs, mirror above it in light oak...you select the color scheme
Mix and Match...Not only can colors be combined, but remember that you don’t have to use all wood pieces in the kitchen.
Variety of Shapes...Your country kitchen furniture does not have to consist of a rectangular farm table and straight back dining chairs
