Rustic Kitchen Redo

custom stainless steel island in rustic French kitchen by Pamela Pierce - veranda via atticmagA few changes redefine a French rustic kitchen.

Several years ago, Jane featured the charming Mother Daughter Rustic Kitchens [below] belonging to Houston designers Pamela Pierce and Shannon Bowers.  I instantly recognized Pierce’s now not-so-rustic kitchen in the current issue of Veranda [top].  Having grown tired of the decor, Pierce did a remix of contemporary pieces with the existing antiques.  A marble-topped charcuterie table has been replaced with a custom stainless steel island.  The oversized lantern, once so trendy, was deleted. The 19th century French butcher shop steer remains.  Pine plank cabinet doors were traded for a clean slab door with simple knob.  The cabinet surrounds and whitewashed plaster walls also were painted a bright white.

Those remain.

    Design in flux. Love it. I also love the new result. Key pieces mixed in, but overall, a cleaner, brighter look for today. It seems more authentic and honest to admit, through the design, that it’s a new kitchen and not such a contrived look.

      I agree, RHome. The original Veranda article featuring her home was in 2006, when the flouncy gray slipcovers and gray paint were coming into vogue in the states. She’s replaced most of her upholstered pieces with stark white modern – a bit jarring.
