I am always a fan of integrating a touch of salvage or vintage into a project. I work hard to layer in unique elements into our @HGTV #FarmhouseFixer projects like this one, but when it's not a TV project and your working as a billable designer and scouring for neat things it's an expensive undertaking for a client! I think of all the hours spent at estate sales, searching the internet for a needle in a haystack on web sites, flea markets and full on road trips for goodies like this. We've had some recent inquiries about projects like this and worked through explaining why layered and curated projects like this take just so much more design fee to accomplish. Many times designers have a mental rolodex of sources and ideas, built from years and years in the profession that we can pull from and efficiently move a project ahead. Other times we need to scour for the unique and that takes time. This rack was something I was on the search for, after popping in and out of stores and internet searching I found one on Facebook Maketplace - bingo ! But it was in Rhode Island , oh and it was the beginning of COVID and you weren't supposed to cross state lines. My husband drove down and got it. If all our time was accounted that went into getting this to its final place this would have been a VERY expensive rack. When I look at things this way I have so much for respect for shop owners and how they figure out how to price antiques and vintage!

I feel like I am always looking for something new to do with vent hoods. The trend of peeling away uppers from a Kitchen leads to more stand alone vent hoods - which is great - an opportunity for a focal point moment. But what to do? In this @HGTV #FarmhouseFixer Kitchen our first goal was to reuse the existing cabinets with a few added pieces to make it work, and shockingly that worked out great! To build on that a contrasting material vent hood was needed. I chose to go with a gunmetal/bronze look repeating the black and bronze lighting and plumbing in the home. Everything is so expensive so in this case to be clever and save on cost we did a faux finish - it's not real metal! Our friend Jay @northofbostonstudios worked up some material magic and you'd never know from afar that we didn't invest in real metal! Success! Swipe right to see the before and progress photos - it's a true transformation!

I didn’t wake up in the morning thinking I’d be falling in love with a five week old baby pig. Cupcake stole my heart with that tiny little happy tail. Hanging out with @jonathanrknight is very dangerous. I think I need to start keeping Farm clothing in my car
