Country Kitchen Designs: Here's Proof That a Homey, Inviting Look Can Be Modern

Grandma would feel right at home in this kitchen. She'll love the familiarity of its wallpaper, matching window valance, raised-panel doors with turned accents, floral tile backsplash accents, and the granite topped cherry-wood island reminiscent of her mother's marble-topped side table out there in your entrance hall. The glass door cabinets, which repeat the multi-paned windows, can display charming keepsakes, while the wood floors - though protected with a laminate surface - look just like her old farmhouse.

Modern touches include the well-designed work triangle between panel-fronted refrigerator, corner cooktop, and sunny sink. Note the easily maintained solid surface countertops and integrated sink. Enjoy the convenience of the island dining bar where you can visit with family while you're kneading your bread on its easy-to-clean surface. This country kitchen combines the charm of old styles with the efficiency and airiness of modern design.
