Kitchen Crazy

Blending classic details with modern flair, our 2020 Project House kitchen offers inspiration for many tastes.

As we continue to finish and show off the rooms of our 2020 Project House, we’re ready to reveal the heart of the home: the modern farmhouse-inspired kitchen. Our design-build team, brought to you by American Farmhouse Style, Cottages & Bungalows, Scissortail Homes and Pencil Shavings Studio, has worked to add custom design details, features and smart storage to give you inspiration and ideas as you think about your own kitchen functionality and style.

MODERN MIX

The sleek backsplash and countertops are the stars of this kitchen design. The team worked on a way to achieve a classic farmhouse feel but still push the design forward. “I love the subtle ways this kitchen takes traditional farmhouse style and makes it modern, like the square white tile from Crossville rather than traditional rectangular subway tile, two-toned cabinets that make use of natural wood and the Golden Lighting pendants above the island,” says Victoria Van Vlear, American Farmhouse Style Brand Leader. “The gold hardware touches, especially on the range hood, add that modern touch too.”
