Modern Kitchens In Wooden Finish

Kitchen designers are always looking for new materials and unusual modern finishes. Although natural wooden finish is timeless and nowadays many famous kitchen producers return to that beautiful finish. They demonstrate that modern design blended with natural wooden color could help to create an amazing kitchen. Kitchens with wooden finish elements can look modern like the lacquered ones and sometimes even more modern than them. Wooden cabinets combined with black glass or black glossy lacquered surfaces looks perfect. This color matching makes a kitchen very elegant and dramatic. If you prefer more light models then white and wooden kitchens could become a well solution. These kitchens could create a comfy and calming ambience. Bellow you could see several awesome kitchen designs with different combinations of wood with other materials.

More ceiling and deck framing

Look at all that ceiling!

Our deck (and the storage area below, AKA The Barn) is being framed -- and framing a misty view.

The Barn from below.

Our deck will be here. The large board in the middle is our exterior sheathing, Agepan. Insulation will be blown in under the Agepan, and the Agepan will keep the wall system dry.

Our 6-foot eaves will shade the house from the heat of the summer sun.

The guys power-washed the concrete floor last week and it looks awesome!
We love the mottled grey (concrete) and rust (mud/clay) colors, unintentional as they are.
Later it'll get some cool finishing; we're looking forward to the final product.

Open House Party

Welcome to the Open House party!

Thank you to everyone that joined last weeks party.  I so appreciate each and
everyone of you.

Lets take a look at a few links from last week.

House Dressing showed us the beautiful slipcovers she made for her sun room.

Amanda's husband shares a tutorial on Dixie Delights for this fabulous cover for
the flat screen TV.

Tammy @ A Walk In The Countryside linked up her pretty Winter tablescape
and tells us how to make the icy branches.

Komali is a cookbook author and writes the blog Entertaining from an Ethnic
 Indian Kitchen.  She posted the recipe for this yummy soup.

If you were featured I would love for you to add the Open House
button to your sidebar.

On to the party.....

Busy, busy, busy !

 

Hello my friends, oh yes I am so very busy! Besides working on clients projects, we are in the middle of our living room redo.

To my blog colleagues I would love to ask, if they please can forgive me for not finding much time to comment on all their latest blogposts! I promise to catch up with reading and commenting a lot of blogposts within a few weeks.

 

The redo of our living room was planned last year, but we didn’t make it ! So Jan and me deciced that it had to be ‘our beginning of the year 2013 project’.

Following my blog, you maybe will remember having seen pictures of how our living room looked like until a few days ago.

Living room as it looked.

 

On Monday morning we started to empty the room. And this is how it looks like today!

Living room this morning.

Yes, there are planned some changes. The room will be totally paneled, the parket floor should be given another finish, the window treatment fabric has to be chosen and we’d like to bring in some new furniture.

Of course, paneling will be manufactured in the workshop of our company Lefèvre Interiors, according our design sketches. The paneling will be executed in French oak and is inspired by French 18th century paneled rooms.

I just love 18th century French paneling as seen in this picture.

At this moment the painter-artist of our workshop is preparing a few samples of the patina the paneling wil be given. This is the most difficult part! We have to mix and brew until the perfect patina is found!

Different patina options.

 

When I discovered this beautiful aquarelle painting at the FB page of my French friend and renown aquarelle painter Céline Chollet, I was thrilled!! OMG! I do know that she has to paint an aquarelle of our living room too!
