There’s no denying the appeal of a sleek, high-gloss kitchen, but for immediate hominess, wood is the answer. I love reclaimed wood both for its environmental cred and its unique history; it simply exudes character, and instantly makes a space one-of-a-kind.Reclaimed wood can be as blatant or as subtle as you want. Keep the edges rough for more rustic look; sand it smooth and paint it for something more modern. From flooring to cabinets and countertops, it works anywhere.
