ART OF ILLUSION
The owners of this historic farmhouse are used to guests admiring their beautiful kitchen with its wood counters and leather island tops—but the admiration turns into amazement when guests learn that they’re actually looking at concrete! While the clients sought a distressed wood look and feel, they understood that it is difficult to clean and less than ideal for areas exposed to frequent contact with water, such as a sink counter. Concrete solved these practical challenges and allowed for a unique and expressive surface that is completely at home in this farmhouse kitchen.
