The kitchen is the heart of the home. Make it happy, too, with vibrant colors and hot new hues.
Reclaimed Wood + Ruby-Red Metal
Farmhouse meets industrial in this wonderful table and chair combo. Colors and materials are also blended throughout the rest of the kitchen to create an inviting atmosphere.
Aqua and Jade
The glass-top island reflects the homeowner’s love of Jadeite dishware, while the repurposed memo board adds the perfect touch of vintage charm.

Zesty Lime
It took just a touch of boldness to add a ton of fun to this modern home. Design by Lori Dennis
