Welcome to my Keeping Room



This was the beginning of what was to be our kitchen and keeping room.
The walls were painted a Berkshire beige. The coffered ceiling trim was painted a bright white and the ceiling was painted a pewter.



The room is ready for the flooring, book shelves, mantel and shutters are ready to be installed.







I added a comfortable sectional that fit neatly into the corner of the keeping room. I also added a shag area rug to add texture and warmth.



This is our breakfast table that sits at the end of our kitchen.



Our cozy little corner is for watching television and reading.
 I drew out the tile work and added silver decorative tiles to layer for interest.
 




This is looking in to the kitchen. The room is 16X40 including kitchen.
The custom shaker style cabinets contrast to the dark wood flooring and island.
I used a round table to balance the long rectangular room.

Both ends of the 17 foot  island have  good book storage.
The island cabinet is a dark chocolate maple stain with white quartz countertop.

 

This rug was my inspiration for the colors used in my kitchen/keeping room.

 The flooring I chose was a dark maple wood.

Thanks for coming!
