We call the kitchen the heart of the home, and for good reason. It’s the place where you and your family gather to prepare—and sometimes share— meals. Whether you’ve been at work all day, ferrying kids to various lessons and practices, or working on a project in a different room, all the busyness of life pauses for food, which gives you and your family the perfect excuse to gather and reconnect.
Farmhouse style provides an even better focus for the heart of the home because of the open-floor concept that’s so central to the style. You can often see the kitchen, dining area and living area all within the same open space.
