Re: Deliberately Dated Kitchen

It's nice if you're into the farmhouse look.  It's a design that I've not embraced.

I love how open and airy it is.  I could be very happy there.  Smiley Happy

I love this!!  I don't think it's dated at all; it's very current, IMO.

I don't care for the ceiling, but otherwise it looks like a farmhouse kitchen that is so popular these days! Not really my style, but it does look nice!

Re: Deliberately Dated Kitchen

love the kitchen and believe its deliberate use of long-loved concepts makes it appropriate to our time.  I do think it has some characteristics that would not translate well into every house.

I think they are trying to create that real farmhouse look and for the real farm look, the lanterns would have been a bit English looking, instead of rural America.  Or, am I wrong?

A gas lanterns would be much more correct than a fixture which is very industrial in design.

 

If you think about it, lanterns and candles were used before electricity.

Most clearly a difference between 'dated' and rustic or weathered. To me, it certainly has a weathered, rustic vibe but is not dated. While this isn't a kitchen I'd choose for my own home, I like the overall look, though not fond of several elements.

I like it very much. As the "distressed" style to it somewhat but certainly not dated.
