Raw Materials
Let natural materials take center stage by limiting finishes and keeping the paint palette neutral. Here, wooden shelves (with hidden supports) sit above concrete countertops and wood cabinets. Go further by letting your dry goods sit pretty on shelving (rather than hidden in the pantry).

Reclaimed Furniture
Choose furnishings and accessories that are reminiscent of their past life. These tables are made from naturally fallen Cypress trees, each solid wood and one-of-a-kind.
