Charming Traditional Kitchen

This kitchen proves that traditional design elements are anything but tired.

Santa and Rudolph are antique metal pieces. Their aged patina is the perfect complement to the rustic walls and warm wood countertops.

Timeless Treasures
Pat has collected Southern-made primitive antiques for more than 15 years, and her artful displays spice up her nouveau-country kitchen. "People always go for the grand, elaborate antiques, but primitives are sometimes easier to find and less expensive because people don't realize how important they are," she says.

A simple pine farm table now serves the seventh generation of Pat's family and fits right in with other acquired heirlooms. A pine cabinet holds a collection of green McCoy pottery and is topped with a grouping of kerosene lamps. She arranges a regimented row of white ironstone mixing bowls and simple brown stoneware crocks above the cabinetry. The result is a fabulous modern look straight out of the past.
