Typically you simply want just a little kitchen refresh and ours got here within the type of new counter stools from Kathy Kuo Residence, along with a country styling overhaul of all the area. Gone are the times of white linen chairs – not essentially the most toddler pleasant materials no matter their “high-performance” stature.

Whereas they served us in that area, I by no means really felt just like the look of them translated into what I envisioned for our brownstone residence.

I used to be on the hunt for counter stool chairs that felt pure and fluid within the area. I already had an thought of what the model could be however couldn’t appear to seek out the precise model I used to be searching for till I found these on Kathy Kuo Residence. The wishbone again and woven seat of those Zhuri Coastal Beach Woven Wishbone counter stools was precisely what I had been searching for. They make the area really feel mild and ethereal, rustic and refined. They really feel like an extension of our model and character.
And simply because the chairs really feel like an extension of our character, we needed to inject extra of that heat and layered texture all through the area by styling the kitchen with timeless copper accents and a mixture of antiques from totally different instances and locations. Vintage art work is normally not the very first thing that involves thoughts when adorning your kitchen however an oil portray can immediately evoke a way of feeling welcome and offers an outdated world attraction. Preserve a watch out when you’re thrifting or try Etsy for some lovely vintage oil work. I personally was drawn to the distinction of the yellow lemons on the black again drop. It’s meals, so it additionally feels prefer it’s there to inform a narrative.
One other pretty outdated world design component I’ve at all times dreamed of getting within the kitchen is a wrought iron pot rack hanging over the island. Whereas our area doesn’t totally assist that design component, I introduced within the pot rack to hold above the range which can also be nice for practicality functions. That is one other piece I discovered on Etsy utilizing the search time period “Classic French Wrought Iron Wall Hanging Rod.” I discovered that this one match completely within the area and easily used two “S” hooks at hand it from the hood.
The rack turned the proper place to show our rising assortment of copper cookware – these pots and pans are supposed to be displayed, not tucked away! Whereas some could really feel prefer it’s a fussy materials to cook dinner with, Freddie and I each choose our copper cookware as a result of they’re nice conductors of warmth! And in contrast to plenty of cookware obtainable, copper wears its age properly. You’ll find 200 yr outdated copper pans that look higher than the brand new issues typically! They cook dinner good, they appear good and positively well worth the funding due to these causes. They’re additionally very simple to scrub however I choose the look of damage on them.
