"Rustic Kitchens\nOur roundup of kitchens with sophisticated country style is full of inspiration for your next renovation.\nIn his restoration of Ch\u00E2teau de Sailhant, architect Joseph Pell Lombardi installed a La Cornue range to update the 19th-century kitchen, which is outfitted with period copper cookware and kerosene lamps. The floor is paved with six-inch-thick volcanic stone, which references the volcanic Auvergne region of central France, where the home is located.\nThe walls and ceiling in the kitchen of a log cabin\u2013style home in the foothills of Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains are clad with salvaged wood. Interior designer Suzanne Kasler decorated the space with a pair of 18th-century French still lifes and a 19th-century English-oak rack.\nA stone wall, ceiling beams, and a barnlike door add rustic touches to the otherwise contemporary kitchen of a Malibu beach house designed by Michael Lee.\nDesigner Russell Groves converted a 19th-century barn that had been moved from Canada to Connecticut into a 15-room house. The kitchen's modern appliances and zinc-and-marble countertops contrast with the barn's original wood beams, posts, and flooring.\nArchitect Gordon Pierce conceived an informal ranch house for a couple in Colorado; Elissa Cullman designed the interiors. A muted color scheme is used in the kitchen, where wood finishes dominate.\nInterior design firm Sills Huniford brought a contemporary interpretation of country to the kitchen of a Tribeca penthouse via beadboard cabinets and Venetian-plaster walls; the bleached-and-pickled table was originally painted black.\nAntique beams crisscross a Nantucket kitchen designed by Karin Blake and the Nantucket Architecture Group. Painted diamonds span the wood floor, and the counters are butcher block.\nDesigner Linda Warren Simon added a graphic stripe of checkered tile to the kitchen of a house in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, by architect Gabor Goded.\nThe kitchen of an 18th-century farmhouse in Tuscany, remodeled by architect Peter Kurt Woerner, features a hood framed with antique beams and a bold stone floor.\nIn a 200-year-old barn that she transported to coastal Rhode Island, designer Ellen Denisevich-Grickis created an eclectic kitchen setting: Rustic beams mix with a vibrant Shaker-style island, Murano-glass chandelier, and Viking stainless-steel appliances. The concrete floors are embedded with chips of mirror, mother-of-pearl, abalone shell, and sea glass.\nWhimsical details\u2014a dramatically angled hood, and ceiling fixtures with overscale inverted lampshades\u2014enliven the kitchen/family room of actress Diane Keaton in Beverly Hills, California. Designer Stephen Shadley remodeled the space; the range is by Viking.\nArchitect Howard J. Backen built a dream home in Napa Valley for the owners of Diamond Mountain Vineyard. The spacious kitchen is at one end of a vaulted pavilion flanked by covered porches with sliding glass doors. The kitchen is separated from the living area by an antique baking table from Ireland."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
