Add a Stone Countertop
If you want to add a stone countertop to your kitchen, it's important to choose a material that will fit the overall design of your space. Keep in mind that most stones are naturally porous and therefore need care when cleaning. In general, you should avoid abrasive cleaners, these will scratch the surface of your stone and ruin its appearance.
Install a Farmhouse Sink
If you want to bring the outdoors in, a farmhouse sink is a great way to do it! It's also known as an undermount sink and is made of porcelain, steel, or copper. This type of sink is installed directly into the countertop and doesn't require brackets on the wall for support.
Choose Rustic Lighting Fixtures
A rustic lighting fixture can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, stone and glass. The most common rustic fixtures are found in kitchens that have farmhouse-style décor. The fixtures use simple designs and often come with exposed wiring to give them an authentic feel.

When choosing reclaimed wood cabinets, think about what kind of look you want them to have. There are many different kinds of reclaimed woods out there with each one having its own set of characteristics like color, texture and grain.
Add Wood Barstools
Adding wood barstools to your kitchen is a great way to bring the outdoors in. Wood barstools are sturdy, durable and can be made out of reclaimed wood. You can paint or stain your stools any color you like, or even upholster them!
