50 Shades of Gray : Seductive Color Stories

50 Shades of Gray : Seductive Color Stories
 
I'm just mad about the use of bold grays in the landscape, in architectural applications and in the kitchen. What a better backdrop than the rich hue for showing off ornamental grasses against a home or fence. When paired with the simplicity of natural wood, it brings an element of nature into the home forever linking the inside to the out.

 Holiday Kitchen Makeover



The interior design of our homes is a reflection of how we live. A well designed kitchen not only looks fabulous but creates an ease of work flow when preparing meals. As we approach these special times of the year when we gather with family and friends to create meals and share them, what better time to than now to start designing plans to renovate our kitchen spaces.

Above : A recent Design Farm Group plan for a client which included opening up the kitchen to the dining space. We completely replaced old and outdated cabinetry, flooring, lighting and appliances in order to create a clean, light and airy space.
