A Cottage Kitchen Decor

<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt">A Cottage Kitchen Decor</h2>If you love the cottage look all through your home, you may not know that it is actually easy to incorporate into your kitchen too. There are so many different ways to incorporate the cottage kitchen decor and depending on how much you want in your home, you can control the expense of it as well.Cottage decor for your kitchen will include a combination of hand-me-downs that have been passed down from your family to you, a variety of yard sale findings, and antiques that you have gathered throughout the years. Your kitchen should have the modern design to it however, it is possible to include some not so modern designs as well. For example, you can use ice trays instead of an ice maker on the fridge. Use a painted farm table for the kitchen instead of going with a wood color or wood stained. Don’t be afraid to use bold colors like red and accent the room with white or even red/white checked. You can add green and white or blue and white decor as well. Open Shelves Instead of box cabinets with doors that open and close, consider using open shelves in the kitchen. This will give your kitchen a more open and spacious feeling because nothing is closed in. If you do use wood accessories, including cabinets, make sure that they are maple or pine. You can also paint the furniture white to create a more comfortable cottage feel to your kitchen. Include furniture that features the curved legs instead of straight legs. <div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/2b.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/2b.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div> The sink should be a large porcelain sink instead of the double bowls that we have today. The front should be a simple open front underneath the cabinet that is completed with a pull curtain made from the same material as what is on the table cloth and curtains. Use porcelain knobs on all the cabinets that you do place doors on. Use <a href="http://www.houseofarearugs.com/White-Rugs-p-1-c-53.html" target="_blank">white area rugs</a> on the floors so they can compliment the light airy white look your kitchen already has on it. White shag rugs are also popular because of the soft and comfortable feel that you are bringing to this room. Floors If you are unsure about a look, remember, the cottage look is about comfort, light colors, and a warm and welcome atmosphere that you can’t find in just any kitchen. If your dining room is also in the kitchen, consider placing large rectangle rugs in the dining room. You can place one under the table and one in or near the doorway leading into the kitchen. You can also place small <a href="http://www.houseofarearugs.com">area rugs</a> in front of the dining room furniture. Complete the look with older style decor. For example, an old percolator can sit on a shelf next to a few sugar and creamer containers. You can place wicker fans on the walls and place artificial flowers on the bottom of them so you can bring more colors to your walls. If you want to accent any particular area then place an area rug in front of it.
