If you’re looking for a cozy yet sophisticated and open kitchen, try this idea out. The rough beams throughout the ceiling add rustic character that plays off the elegance of the marble counter tops. To pull the two worlds together, add in some country chic counter seating that is as functional as it is beautiful. The pass through cabinetry allows for a bit more of a formal dining area while maintaining the spaciousness of an open-concept. As an added bonus, you won’t have to fully take in the remnants created  while the whirling dervish was whipping up your delicious meal! Experience the tastes while sharing conversation and worry about the dishes later, once the wine has been flowing and everyone is satisfied. After all, isn’t that what the table is for? Sharing enjoyable conversation while eating wonderfully prepared food….maybe even from the Farm! Link for more beautiful Farmhouse ideas below!
