A Warm Welcome

An Edmond kitchen mixes country and contemporary for an inviting dwelling space.

That’s the first impression guests have of this kitchen that mixes modern with country to create a welcoming spirit for casual family dinners and formal entertaining.

An on-trend, all-white palette, accented with a touch of gray in the center island and soft brown in the flooring, pleases the senses. Architecturally, the kitchen blends rectangles, squares and arches.

Small, square-framed windows, strategically located above the central working and storage spaces, provide added light in the kitchen and adjoining patio. The center island serves as a work station and seating area. Its barn door corner motif enhances the country farmhouse theme, as do the casual bar stools.

High ceilings with recessed lighting add to the kitchen’s ambiance. Large pendant lights over the center island illuminate the distinct architectural features of this thoroughly modern kitchen.

Arched doorways leading to the butler’s pantry and adjacent laundry area soften the kitchen’s angular lines.

A tour of the rest of this well-designed home comes with after-dinner coffee and dessert in the nearby living area.
