RUSTIC KITCHENS: PART ONE

Rustic kitchens are a hodgepodge of materials: worn wood, exposed brick, stainless steel, woven baskets, sturdy stone and wire mesh, to name a few. Mixing a few of these elements against a white or muted background gives a kitchen a used feel that’s conducive to relaxed cooking and comfortable lounging. Here are some particularly stunning rustic kitchens with old world charms and modern-day amenities.
