Americana Kitchen Projects For the 4th.

As we prepare to celebrate our great country's birthday, lets take a look at a few kitchens that embody a true American style.

This rustic kitchen is actually a modern renovation. The refrigerator and dishwasher are hidden behind panels. The red, white and blue color scheme feels very patriotic. 

Located in a recently remodeled Greek Revival farmhouse in upstate New York, this kitchen is more fun and relaxed. The design doesn't try to be a period reproduction, but mixes historic furniture and art with modern amenities. See more of the renovation here.

This traditional 'pie safe' cabinet with its punched tin panel is part of a new kitchen remodel in a historic Pennsylvania 1803 log cabin. Read about how the owners moved the cabin here.

Finally, our favorite because it's our own design :). The new Airy Kitchens showroom in Mt Airy Philadelphia. For this project we blended traditional American details with modern materials and appliances. This look doesn't try too hard to look original, but truly embodies our American design heritage. 

Enjoy the fireworks, barbecues and swimming pools, but take a minute this 4th of July to look around and see the designs, details and craftsmanship that make our towns, homes, and even kitchens American. 

Our favorite Kitchens for Easter Weekend

Here are some kitchens that make us want to color eggs, buy flowers, and eat chocolate. These kitchens make a great backdrop for Easter colors and Spring flowers. Here in Philadelphia, the Spring light can be blinding at times, but there are often long periods of grey, wet weather. These colorful rooms look great lit up with sun, but will still bring brightness to your space on a cloudy day.

This kitchen is warm and bright with robins egg blue, open shelving, and mid-century stools. 

We can't get enough of this green kitchen. The simple drawer knobs are classic and rustic. The site where it's from is an interesting visual notebook. Worth checking out!

What a great art deco design. The green and yellow tile would make me smile every day. 

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!
